Lean startup / Lean Innovation

Validating the assumptions behind your product design gives competitive advantage. Not doing so risks your whole business. The same is true for your organisational design.

Product decisions are difficult. The market, funding and development all contain uncertainties.

  • What is the right thing to do? How can you verify your assumptions?
  • How to do this fast and economically? Faster than you ever dreamed?

Lean Innovation is a practical method for hunting new business. It helps to quickly discard useless ideas, and guides the development of viable ideas with the help of the customers. It has developed in the challenging start-up world. The same method works in corporations while innovating new products and processes.
