Lean Innovation
This presentation is based working with senior leaders from around the world -- and in a matter of days, having them formulate, “test”, and validate new product and service ideas. It is kind of like a brainstorming session on steroids. Attendees have achieved phenomenal success using the Lean Innovation approach. Just last semester, in a course I co-directed, student teams formulated a new idea for a product or service and in only six weeks 31 student teams had their ideas accepted on Kickstarter (the largest crowd-funding site). Lean Innovation is based on the Probe-and-Learn theory I developed (published in the California Management Review) and represents a new paradigm to slash development time and cost by 50% or more while improving the overall success rate. The fundamental principle behind Lean Innovation is creating a “Protocept” (i.e., a “Minimum Viable Concept”) and taking these designs out to the marketplace early and often. The Minimum Viable Concept differs from what others call a minimum viable product. This keynote explains Lean Innovation and how do to it.
Attendees learn . . .
1. How to supercharge a new product or service initiative.
2. How to cut innovation time and cost by 50%.
