Welcome to the Lean Launchpad Class Presentations - Nov 2015Raomal Perera
This is my welcome address to my guests arriving in for the Lean Launchpad class presentations and networking event at the Michael Smurfit Business School, UCD, Dublin, Ireland
There is considerable talk about innovation in businesses of all sizes, from startups to multinational public companies. “Innovation” and “innovate” are the most overused words in business. Is innovation a specialty or can it be cultivated by an entire organization? How do you innovate? And is there a blueprint for innovation? We explore these questions, and how the key to innovation is ideation, in our first Slideshare presentation!

Learn how a group of corporate innovation leaders, change agents, and intrapreneurs implemented a Lean innovation incubator inside a Fortune 14 organization. Hear the story of The Garage, challenges to innovation in the enterprise, and lessons we have learned along the way.

Lean for Sharing Ventures: Four Times Harder, Four Times More Rewarding, Ted ...Lean Startup Co.
The structure, economics, and strategy of sharing economy companies dramatically complicate the design and validation of a successful business model. In this session with Ted Ladd, professor of internet economics and a research fellow at the Center for Disruptive Innovation at the Hult International Business School, you will learn, apply, and critique several Lean extensions to decrease risk and accelerate return for your sharing venture.
Here you get a look at my current thoughts on innovation through a presentation that I will give tomorrow at the Turkey Innovation Week, where I am one of the keynote speakers.
It is a long talk – 1 hour – so I have compiled lots of content in this presentation. Yes, it might even have too many messages, but I hope the participants at the conference as well as those of you, who are just checking out the presentation, can find some inspiration in it without feeling overloaded with information.
Some of the topics I get into are:
• The current state of innovation and the global megatrends that impacts it
• A definition on open innovation and the benefits that come along with it
• Innovation as a career choice – what you need to succeed for this
• My perception of innovation in Turkey (not elaborated, just one case)
• How intrapreneurship can bring together idea and people management
I hope you find it worthwhile your time.

The objective of the Lean Startup 101 training is to introduce the concepts, terminology and approaches — and, to help organizations overcome resistance accepting the new approach so that exploration and learning can begin. This practical, interactive session will provide a solid foundation for advanced sessions, including the Lean Startup 201 & 301. This training is designed for practitioners in both the enterprise and in startups who are relatively new to the Lean Startup approach or who are seeking a quick refresher. Lean Startup 101 is a perfect way to kick off your week of Lean Startup!

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

14. How breakthrough ideas emerge from small
discoveries
Creative thinkers practice a set of simple but
ingenious experimental methods
• failing quickly to learn fast
• tapping into the genius of play
• engaging in highly immersed
observation
Free their minds, opening them up to making
unexpected connections and perceiving
invaluable insights.
14
16. Design thinking on innovation stimulation
Three core elements—observation, experimentation and
prototyping:
• You have to start with observation because it's the only way
to illuminate the subtle nuances about how people actually
get things done, or don't get things done, and it's these
deep insights that lead to powerful new ideas.
• Intellectual experimentation is equally critical because
there's no way to generate real breakthroughs unless
people are willing to explore a lot of options in a divergent
way.
• Finally, rapid and inexpensive prototyping is the most
efficient way to move an idea from concept to reality.
- Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO
16
21. Key Question: Do I have a problem worth solving?
Who has the problem?
What is the top problem?
How is it solved today?
Where do they have the problem or in what context do
they have a problem? (milkshake example)
When do they have the problem?
Why is it a problem? (root cause analysis. Why is the
single best word for creating value in a start-up and an
established business) - It is not possible to know what
the top problem is without knowing where, when and
why they have a problem. Also the questions may not be
answered in sequence e.g. will we find the problem and
the person with the problem at the same time?
Identify the Problem
21
22. Take a stab at defining the solution
Build a demo (MVP)
Test it with assumed customers
Will the solution work? (can the proposed
solution create customer value that exceeds the
cost to produce and deliver the solution to the
customer)
Who it the early adopter?
Does the pricing model work?
Define the Solution
22
23. Build an MVP
Soft launch to early adopters
Do they realise the unique value proposition
How will you find enough early adopters to support
learning?
Are you getting paid?
Analysis: There needs to be a bit of intuitive thinking
around the MVP. We need to ask and then guess how we
can create the most unique customer value in the
shortest amount of time with the least resources. With a
bit of thinking and an equal amount of action we have a
chance of appropriating real value in the short term
VALIDATE THE QUALITATIVELY
Validate Qualitatively
23
24. Launch your refined product to a larger audience
Have you built something people want?
How will you reach customers at scale
Do you have a viable business?
Analysis: A refined product needs to test both
qualitatively and quantitatively in order to find out
why the refined product creates customers’ value and
how large is the market potential?
Can this business produce (organically or through
investment) enough cash in the short term in order
that customers value - cost to produce = profit
Validate Quantitavely

unsuccessful innovation have found that the
primary discriminator was the degree to
which the user needs were fully
understood.”

A business model describes the rationale
of how an organisation Creates, Delivers
and Captures value

Finding the Problem is the Hard Part
– Kevin Systrom & Mike Krieger (Instagram
Co_Founders)
Instagram Co-Founder Kevin Systrom believes building
solutions for most problems is the easy part; the hard part is
finding the right problem to solve. Here he opens up about
how he and fellow Co-Founder Mike Krieger identified the
problems they wanted to solve around sharing photos through
mobile devices. He also reminds entrepreneurs to embrace
simple solutions, as they can often delight users and
customers.
42. Our subjective judgements are
biased: we are far too willing to
believe research findings based
on inadequate evidence and
prone to collect too few
observations in our own
research

44. Has become the biggest bookseller in
the world even though it doesn’t own a
single brick-and-mortar store.
Is the largest music retailer even though
it doesn’t sell CDs.
Is the world’s largest coffeehouse chain

premium prices.
Reinvented video rental despite not
owning a single physical shop

“It is not the strongest of the
species that survive, nor the

49. Hypotheses or guesses
• The canvas is a set of Hypotheses. i.e.
Guesses.
• It helps us to organize our thinking! It is
not about functional organisation but
about the business.
• The real question is How do we change
those guesses into FACTS?

50. Customer development process
Post it to the Wall
- Create the canvas
- Make it Visible
- Use Yellow Post-It
notes with your
guesses
Get Out of the Building and Test your hypotheses.
There are NO FACTS here. Talk to Customers,
Partners, Vendors. Design experiments, run tests, get
data

done. As people complete these jobs, they
have certain measurable outcomes that they
are attempting to achieve. It links a company's
value creation activities to customer-defined
metrics.” - Ulwick

77. Two Critical Channel Questions
How do you want to sell your product?1
is subtle, but more important than the first:
How does your customer want to buy your
product?

86. MVP
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is
“that product which has just those
features and no more that allows you
to ship a product that early adopters
see and, at least some of whom
resonate with, pay you money for, and
start to give you feedback on”
86
87. MVP #1 Explainer video
Explainer video is a short video that explains
what your product does and why people should
buy it.
A simple, 90 seconds animation is sufficient.
e.g. Dropbox
How to make an explainer video

88. MVP #2 A Landing Place
A landing page is a web page where
visitors “land” after clicking a link from
an ad, e-mail or another type of a
campaign.
88
89. MVP #2 A Landing Page
• Craft your Landing Page
• Set up a Google AdWord campaign and drive traffic
to your new landing page. Even here you can let the
AdWord engine rotate different messages and test
what works best on your prospects
• Set up Google Analytics. The most important thing to
measure is conversions – percent of visitors that sign
up (or perform another desired action)
• Set up a chat to make it easy for the visitors to raise
questions
• Set up a service like Qualaroo to survey your visitors
89
90. MVP #3 Wizard of Oz
A “Wizard of Oz” MVP is when you put up a
front that looks like a real working product, but
you manually carry out product functions. It’s
also known as “Flinstoning”.
Zappos shoes is the biggest online shoe
retailer, with annual sales exceeding $1 billion.
In his Lean Startup book, Eric Ries describes
how the founder started with a Wizard of Oz
product.
90
91. MVP #4 The Concierge MVP
Instead of providing a product, you start
with a manual service. But not just any
service! The service should consist of
exactly the same steps people would go
through with your product.
91
92. MVP #5 Piecemeal MVP
This strategy is a blend between the “Wizard
of Oz” and “Concierge” approaches. Again,
you emulate the steps people would go
through using your product – as you envision
it.
92
93. MVP #5 Crowd Funding
Sell it before you build it.
The basic idea is simple: launch a crowd
funding campaign on platforms such as
Kickstarter or IndieGoGo. Not only will you
validate if customers want to buy your product,
but you will also raise money.
