A lean investor tells you why to love the problem and not the solution - Fred...pragmatic solutions gmbh
In my presentation I let you know how I became a lean investor and lean innovation trainer and why I do not invest anymore in start-ups working the traditional way.
However, this approach is not a cure-all. This means that an overwhelming majority of ideas for startups or corporates will fail regardless of how you approach it. My goal is to show you how to find this out as fast as possible and with the least effort. I point out the many pitfalls when working with Lean Startup/Lean Innovation and how to avoid them.
The focus is on how to find out whether you have targeted the right customer segment and if not, how to iterate with problem & solution interviews between the Problem, Solution and the Customer Segment Fields of the Lean Canvas until you have reached the Problem/Solution Fit.
With this presentation I share my experience as a lean investor and lean startup trainer, a subject that I thoroughly believe in.

Das ist eine 10 minütige Einführung ins Lean Innovation Framework (=Innovation Management mit agilen Prinzipien) für Startups, damit sie schneller zum Erfolg kommen oder rechtzeitig aufhören, was schwierig sein kann.
Current globalisation, disruption and de-regulation forces are shredding jobs in most economies. It is believed that growth in the 21st century will have to come from new ventures. The Lean Startup helps entrepreneurs, both in startups and established companies, to create new businesses faster and with less waste. That could have a profound economic impact.

The myth goes that the more perseverance, brilliance, good timing and a good product, the higher the chance for success. I will show you why exactly the opposite is true: Survival and, even more so, success are highly correlated with the successful application of the “Build-Measure-Learn Feedback Loop”. The fact that this lean framework can be learned and taught is the final kill of the myth. I will give examples of how you can deliver more business value earlier and with less risks by testing everything as soon as possible using a so-called Minimum Viable Product.

Accelerating Innovation through Portfolio FrameworksSheen Yap
This talk explains how to use a product portfolio approach to drive experimentation for more effective product strategy. Covers setting outcomes, lean value tree, strategic alignment and three horizons.
Some years ago, Eric Ries, Steve Blank and others initiated The Lean Startup movement. The Lean Startup is a movement, an inspiration, a set of principles and practices that any entrepreneur initiating a startup would be well advised to follow.
Projecting myself into it, I think that if I had read Ries' book before, or even better Blank's book, I would maybe own my own company today, around AirXCell or another product, instead of being disgusted and honestly not considering it for the near future.
In addition to giving a pretty important set of principles when it comes to creating and running a startup, The Lean Startup also implies an extended set of Engineering practices, especially software engineering practices.
Innovation Workshops from Catalign Innovation Consultingvpdabholkar
I facilitate two types of innovation workshops: (a) "How-to" workshops (b) "What-next" workshops. Primary objective of the "How-to" workshops is learning tools and techniques. Primary objective of the "What-next" workshops is deriving actions in the innovation journey of a team / organization. Topics include challenge framing, idea generation, idea selection, experiment design, idea communication etc.
My take on Eric Ries' book The Lean Startup, as presented to my colleagues at XING Barcelona.

Designers, Developers and Dogs: Finding the magic balance between product and tech - Charlotte Vorbeck, ShareNow and Sahil Bajaj
How can an agile delivery team become a successful product team? When does collaboration between product and tech succeed and when not? Why do people in some teams inspire each other while others in the same environment don't speak the same language? In this talk we want to share our learnings and experiences from rebuilding an internal tool for customer support at ShareNow. What could have been just another boring rewrite surprisingly became one of our best experiences in collaboration. We will look at how a joint discovery phase helped us to come up with a shared vision, how a better team setup enabled us to do the necessary work, how focusing on the customer kept us aligned during our journey, and also how we built upon existing collaborative techniques to achieve this new level of cooperation and trust.
Challenge of transforming to Digital first - fastGreg Montgomery
Entertainment media industry going through a huge transformation.
Disrupted by new technology and global startups.
Discover how to:
- How to Move to Digital First - Fast
- Identify what a lean process means for your teams
- Embrace MVP thinking and move to initiatives away from projects
- Move to a Lean build - continuous delivery pipeline
Aubrey Smith, Sparked Advisory
In this training, we will build on the foundation established in Lean Startup 101 and 201 by delving into examples and cases of the Lean Startup concepts in action. Attendees of Lean Startup 301 will be exposed to cutting edge work from thought leaders and experts using Lean Startup in practice today — at startups and within the enterprise. Participation in this session is essential: You will be asked to help design an MVP and experiment to test critical Leap of Faith Assumption(s) in groups and will be encourage to share experiences. The session is designed to allow attendees to stretch their skills and to push one-another to ‘learn by doing’. The session will also include:
Sample cases and live interviews with practitioners highlighting the application of core concepts;
Exercises designed to bring the concepts to life and challenge participants to deepen their skills;
Discussion of advanced topics such organizational culture and governance as well as industry-specific concepts such as using Lean Startup in heavily regulated markets.

Bimodale IT, Digitalisierung und eine starke Agile Basisbewegung haben bei SBB das Bedürfnis nach einer ganzheitlichen Veränderung geweckt. Vor rund 1 ½ Jahren wurde das Agile Transformationsprogramm unter der Führung der GL-IT gestartet. Das Programm soll das Zusammenarbeitsmodell von Business und IT in der SBB neu definieren, die Hürden zur Anwendung der Agilität abbauen und die Innovationskraft der SBB stärken.
In ihrem Vortrag zeigen Stefano Trentini und Mischa Ramseyer u.a. auf, wie sich die SBB im Spannungsfeld zwischen Innovation und Stabilität für die Zukunft wappnet, wie das Programm organisiert ist, welche Strategie zur Multiplikation der Agilität in die Organisation von rund 1500 Mitarbeitern gewählt wurde, welches die grössten Hürden sind und wie diese adressiert wurden.
Freuen Sie sich mit uns auf einen Erfahrungsbericht aus der Praxis, welcher es Ihnen erlaubt, eine Transformation in Ihrem Unternehmen voranzutreiben.
Our Lean Innovation expert Adrian von Orelli discusses examples of lean innovation in the hardware domain and talks about the mindset aspect of lean startup.

One out of ten startups is successful. The Lean Innovation approach improves the success rate of Startups. Entrepreneurs and Investors learn earlier what works and what does not and hence can act faster. Lean Innovation starts to unfold its potential from the early stage of a Startup even long before it has a sellable product.
One out of ten startups is successful. The Lean Innovation approach improves the success rate of Startups. Entrepreneurs and Investors learn earlier what works and what does not and hence can act faster. Lean Innovation starts to unfold its potential from the early stage of a Startup even long before it has a sellable product.
However, just using the tools does not result in increased effectiveness. Lean Innovation requires a fundamental mindset change of Entrepreneurs and Investors: Away from unproven assumptions to facts through creative experiments. In this training we show the essentials of the lean innovation framework and which aspects and metrics you the investor should request from the Entrepreneurs to make sure the Startup measures real progress daily and continuously adapts the path forward based on their latest learning to generate more value in shorter time.
As an introduction we recommend to read the Harvard Business Review article ”Why the Lean Start-up Changes Everything”.
For organisations that need to keep up with the velocity of change in their markets, customers and technology, Digital Agility is an end-to-end concept to market approach that enables you to deliver innovation faster and with less risk.
Unlike traditional product development and delivery models, Digital Agility is a lean, insight driven technique that helps you become more nimble, innovative, and responsive.
How large companies can regain their ability to innovate and gain speed on the market. Get out of your box and concentrate on your idea, instead of following best practices, guidelines or compliance rules.

The Future of Startups: Disciplined Entrepreneurship #FutureOf #startups #ent...Marius Ursache
An introduction to the Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework created by Bill Aulet, the Managing Director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, and used by thousands of startups around the world.
In just a few years, the Lean Startup movement has gained influence by promoting a powerful but simple agile product management toolset—one that complements agile software development approaches such as Scrum and kanban. This presentation explores the tools and techniques product owners at startup companies and others are employing today for project visioning, experimental design, evaluating new feature impact, prototyping, split testing, and gaining early customer feedback.
Agilität nutzen, um zur Agilen Organisation zu werden. Vortrag von Mischa und Moreno am 5. Internationalen Coaching Congress in Olten am 13. Juni 2018.
Die Digitalisierung fordert von allen Unternehmen, dass sie sich immer schneller an die Bedürfnisse des Marktes anpassen und neue Geschäftsmodelle kreieren. Einfacher gesagt als getan. In der Realität verhindern starre Strukturen und Prozesse oft, dass sich die Organisation rasch anpassen kann. Die Folge sind verpasste Marktchancen und im schlimmsten Fall der Konkurs. In einem kurzen Referat zeigen Mischa Ramseyer und Ivana Tzschoppe auf, was die kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren einer agilen Organisation sind und in worin Sie heute investieren müssen, damit Sie auch morgen noch marktfähig sind. Das Beispiel der SBB zeigt eindrücklich, wie sich traditionelle Unternehmen auf die aktuellen Herausforderungen am Markt vorbereiten können. Freuen Sie sich auf ein kreativ verstörendes Referat.
Mischa Ramseyer spricht über die digitale Revolution und ihre Herausforderungen für Unternehmen, starre Strukturen und verpasste Marktchancen. Als Agile Executive Coach und Unternehmer bringt er seine eigene Erfahrung mit ein und zeigt auf, wo heute investiert werden muss, damit Unternehmen auch morgen noch marktfähig sind.
In ihrem Vortrag zeigen Stefano Trentini und Mischa Ramseyer u.a. auf, wie sich die SBB im Spannungsfeld zwischen Innovation und Stabilität für die Zukunft wappnet, wie das Programm organisiert ist, welche Strategie zur Multiplikation der Agilität in die Organisation von rund 1500 Mitarbeitern gewählt wurde, welches die grössten Hürden sind und wie diese adressiert wurden.
Taking team based decisions is a challenging task. It needs trust and a clever decision making framework to produce meaningful decisions with the best business outcomes, not a decision built on consensus. Each team member must then agree or disagree but commit to the decision taken. Only then do you achieve one team, one voice and effective team decision making.
In this keynote, Mischa Ramseyer and Pamela Hackett will propose a simple decision making framework to boost your team’s effectiveness, allow team members a voice, and ultimately, provide a tool to build the trust necessary for the right decisions to be made.

Everybody working with Scrum, Kanban, etc. knows the challenge: How to convince management that Scrum is not just for development teams and its respective departments. Thus this presentation addresses managers, entrepreneurs as well as those (Scum Masters, Product Owners, etc.) who want or have to convince their management. From my point of view as an entrepreneur and former international C-Level manager with a business administration background, I will share with you in management-speak why and how you should convince your middle and top managers to transform to an Agile Organisation and how to go about this.
Lean Startup Zürich - 19 Januar 2015
The "Minimum viable Product" (MVP) is one of the core concepts of the Lean Startup Methodology. Tonight, Adrian will shortly summarize the essence of the MVP concept and then present several MVP examples from different industries.
Das grösste Online-Projekt in der Geschichte von Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF) erforderte ein Umdenken auf ganzer Linie. Mit den bisher verwendeten Projektmethoden war das ehrgeizige Ziel, im Dezember 2012 mit einer ersten Version von srf.ch sowie den überarbeiteten SRF Apps live zu gehen, nicht umzusetzen. Was also tun? Das Multimediazentrum (MMZ) von SRF hat sich für Scrum entschieden. Nach dem erfolgreichen Relaunch der gesamten Multimedia Plattform des SRF kam die Belohnung durch die Öffentlichkeit mit dem Best of Swiss Web Award 2012.
Das Relaunch Projekt war so wichtig, gross und umfassend, dass es dem gesamten SRF MMZ den nötigen Fokus und die Richtung vorgegeben hat. Neben den Relaunch-Anforderungen fand kaum etwas anderes im Portfolio Platz. Nach dem Go-Live hat sich dies aber sehr rasch geändert – trotz der Tatsache, dass der Relaunch nicht abgeschlossen war. Das Portfolio musste aktiver verwaltet, die verschiedenen Interessen gegeneinander abgewägt und die Lieferorganisation mit den richtigen Anforderungen versorgt werden. Die Lösung für dieses Problem liegt in einem sinnvollen Lean Portfolio Management, welches sowohl den involvierten Parteien sowohl eine Mitbestimmungs- und Planungssicherheit gibt, als auch die Grundsätze der existierenden Agilen Lieferorganisation respektiert.
Gerne möchten wir unsere Erfahrungen auf dem Weg zur erfolgreich skallierten Agilen Organisation unter Anwendung von Lean Portfolio Management mit der Community teilen.
