Many organisations are interested in using the proven techniques presented in the Lean Startup methodology. However, most medium to large organisations have to report to stakeholders or stock exchanges and therefore require clear governance procedures. In the past this involved creating extensive business cases and financial models which inevitably took months (or years) to produce. Lean Startup clearly represents a much faster and better way to work. But how can we provide company executive and boards with the information they need to govern their organisation properly? This presentation presents visualisation tools that were developed in real-world circumstances to transform a corporate environment to run in a Lean Startup manner. We will focus in particular on how to distil and disseminate data into information that both product teams and executives can use to fast-track products to market.

But not when or how.

- 4. Managing your key stakeholders Most executive managers - 12hour+ work days. VERY LIMITED time to inform them.
- 5. Stakeholders want to know • What is the customer problem? • How are you going to solve it? • How long do you think it will take? • When can you launch something to market? • What is it going to cost? • What are the expected revenues (and return on investment)? …… “BIG PICTURE” questions… to get support and funding. How do we address these questions and still use Lean Startup principles to “build the right thing”?

- 7. Visualise what we are trying to achieve Need a way to visualise and “tell the story” about our business/solution concept. Why make it visual? • 90% of informa,on transmi/ed to the brain is visual • Images are processed 60,000 ,mes faster in the brain than text • Visuals improve learning ability by up to 400 percent

- 29. Evidence-based funding MicroAgencyModel Technologyplatform Verticals Metrics Resources KeyMilestone Every 2 weeks, review experiment metrics with finance team. Agree how money should be spent (governance). Agree next quarter’s activities based on current experiment results with finance team (at least monthly) Initial plan based on inception outputs – customer interviews, etc. Team members annotate plan as required – for example when critical data will be available. Separate card wall for every stream. Build research and experimentation into your plan Note resources required so costs can be considered.
- 30. Closing thoughts Hypothesis-driven development • Put the “visual” back into strategic vision. Images are processed by the brain 60,000 times faster than text. • Experiments that test the risk in your business plan are vital. What customers say and what they do varies greatly. Rely solely on “market research” at your peril. • Solution doesn’t necessarily mean software. Remember the “human element” – user experience, sales, service, education. • Create “information radiators” - share information visually to facilitate conversations and better decision making
