Intro to Lean Startup and insight into the barriers and strategies for corporate innovation. Corporate Innovation inspired by Trevor Owens, CEO of Lean Startup Machine.
The Design Sprint: A Fast Start to Creating Digital Products People Wantdpdnyc
In this talk, you'll learn how to plan, facilitate, and optimize the five phases of a Design Sprint: Understand, Diverge, Converge, Prototype, and Test. You’ll learn why and how Design Sprints work and how you can use Design Sprints to enhance your own design process.
"The Corporate Innovation Playbook” is the one of the most comprehensive studies on the pragmatic aspects of getting innovation planned and done inside companies. What are the biggest contributors and barriers to mapping out and implementing innovation inside companies? What are companies doing now? Why? What is innovation’s potential impact on their overall business? What will change in the future? What are their unfair challenges & advantages vs. startups?
This study, conducted by an futureproofing and transformation firm Wikibrands and built in partnership with global innovation experts at Catalyst3, 5&Vine, IScale, J Five, Liminal, New Cottage Industries & Co, Paul Barter & Associates and Scope Communications, will interview over 40 corporate innovation leaders and survey more than 250+ innovation practitioners and experts to answer these questions and more. We find too much innovation research to be focused on early stage, elegant but “head in the clouds” observation or strictly academic analysis - we want to distill the DNA of “innovation in the wild”.
We are hoping the results go to some length in providing answers to: improving corporate innovation growth & success rates, identifying the right types of leadership, ambitions and routes to market, presenting relatable lighthouse examples, and understanding the future pace, evolution, attractive business models, headlines and debates facing corporate innovators over the next 5 years.
The Startup Design Toolkit - a design-thinking approach to startups and produ...Alejandro Rios Peña
When PMs or entrepreneurs tackle a new product venture, they need to acquire and combine skills and tools from the Development, Business and Design fields. In this session, the following topics will be introduced:
- Is there really a formula for new product or startup success?
- What is Design-Thinking and how it is driving innovation around the world?
- Building a Toolkit: a subset of practical tools curated from the Lean Startup, Customer Development, Design-Thinking and other methods, to really help entrepreneurs to accelerate and find a scalable business model.

The Value Proposition Canvas vs. The 1-Minute Value Proposition Act: A BETTER...Rod King, Ph.D.
“Customers Deserve the Best Products, Services, and Tools to Help Them Delightfully Get Their Jobs Done”
Wouldn’t it be great if we so deeply understand customers that we could accurately predict customers’ adoption, hiring, and buying decisions? Then, no startup or established business would build products, services, and tools that customers do not want or buy. Waste in business and the dismal failure of startups would be eliminated. Newly launched products, services, and tools would achieve Product-Market fit in no time. And … gainful employment, generated income, and standard of living would be higher. But, why do we not have this paradise especially in the world of entrepreneurship and startups?
My main hypothesis is that currently, business management is largely an art the mastery and tacit knowledge of which reside with a few practitioners such as the late Steve Jobs. Business management is still a blackbox: we know what goes in and what comes out of business. However, we have yet to fully figure out and accurately model how the inside of a business’s blackbox interacts with the environment at present as well as in future.
In the past, the main tools for systematically planning, launching, and building products, services, and organizations was the voluminous and rigid business plan. In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment, the voluminous and rigid business plan is increasingly considered inappropriate. New tools are emerging to replace the business plan especially in the world of startups. This article focuses on tools that facilitate the achievement of Product-Market Fit since Product-Market fitness is considered the greatest risk to having a repeatable and scalable business model and consequently, a profitable and enduring organization.
In this presentation, two tools are presented that focus on achieving Product-Market Fit. One is Alexander Osterwalder’s Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) while the other is my 1-Minute Value Proposition Act (VPA). Both the VPC and 1-Minute VPA are modules of a business model (story). The VPC focuses on the “Job-To-Be-Done” as a unit of analysis while the 1-Minute VPA considers a “customer’s trade-off and decision-making” as the unit of analysis.
In the presentation, elements of the VPC and 1-Minute VPA are considered and examined within the context of a case study. The aim is to enable readers which include entrepreneurs and startups to compare and contrast the two tools with a view to making informed decisions while trying to achieve Product-Market Fit for newly launched products, services, and organizations. As the quote at the beginning says: “Customers Deserve the Best Products, Services, and Tools to Help Them Delightfully Get Their Jobs Done.”

Everyone working on a new product is trying to achieve the same goal: product-market fit. Although product-market fit is one of the most important Lean Startup concepts, it’s also the least well defined. Dan Olsen shares the top advice from his book The Lean Product Playbook, including the Product-Market Fit Pyramid: an actionable model that breaks product-market fit down into 5 key elements. Dan also explains the Lean Product Process, a 6-step methodology with practical guidance on how to achieve product-market fit, illustrated with a real-world case study.

Pragmatic Product Strategy - Ways of thinking and doing that bring people tog...Jonny Schneider
Presented at XConf Tech Manchester in 2014 - Video at http://thght.works/1xdSvqK
This talk explores new ways of framing the work we do in order to create effective software products. A super-pragmatic model of thinking and doing that promises to bring together technologists, designers and business folks alike, across the entire software delivery lifecycle.
Looking to scale something up? Depending on how you're going after your market/ acquiring users, you may need to build a sales organization that's optimized for a top-down or bottom-up sales process (or perhaps both).
Watch the video overview at http://a16z.com/2015/03/06/go-to-market-bootcamp/ and then check out this slide deck, which shares some concrete tips and tools for accelerating time to market -- from the go-to-market experts at a16z, led by 'sales savant' Mark Cranney.
Because selling to enterprises is a lot like getting a bill passed through Congress: it can get stuck. And getting stuck -- or going down the wrong path -- can mean death to startups in a competitive market. Here's how to avoid that.

Which innovation framework, the 10 types of innovation or the business model canvas, is more useful in helping people realise that 'innovation' isn't just about a product (or service)? I was surprised that no one had published (or at least made freely available) a comparison of the 10 types of innovation and the 9 building blocks of the business model canvas. So I attempted a mapping and here's what I found.

As technologists, we love to build things. And we sometimes forget that our customers (or potential customers) don’t care about what we’re building-- they care about what they’re building, doing, or feeling. In this talk, we’ll explore methodologies that help us continually focus on our customers’ needs, building just enough to learn and iterate towards their desired outcomes.
21 ноября Боб Дорф - всемирно известный предприниматель, гуру Силиконовой долины и соавтор бестселлера "Стартап: настольная книга основателя", переведенного на 19 языков мира, - провел семинар-практикум в Инновационном центре "Сколково". Он рассказал о методологии «развития клиента» и о том, как создать новую компанию и продукт и успешно вывести его на рынок. Сам Боб Дорф уже вывел 7 компаний на IPO, а свой первый бизнес начал в возрасте 12 лет.
There is a misconception that to be a startup you need to have a team that can build a full product. And only when the product is built can you attract customers and convince them to pay! But this approach takes a lot of time, and an abundance of resources that are unavailable to most entrepreneurs.
In this workshop, Poornima will share strategies for brainstorming, validating your idea, launching it, and even attracting early adopters who are willing to pay, as a scrappy startup.
This is a broad set of thinking and tools to help entrepreneurs and innovators. I've taken the best practices of companies like Amazon, Apple and Google and decoded their approach.
You'll find frameworks and tools across the four areas (4P's) of innovation;
People
Product
Profit

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Organize three-day Lean Startup workshops
in Washington D.C. and the SF Bay Area
Experience in several startups
Often invited to speak on Lean Startup for
accelerators
3. Who are you?
Who has read the lean startup?
Who has gone to a startup competition?
Who has experience in a startup?
Who has experience creating disruptive new products?
3
4. Agenda
What is Lean Startup and how you can use it in corporate innovation
Rough outline:
• Lean Startup Overview
• Corporate Innovation
• Questions
4
5. 98% of Startups FAIL
5
We believe most fail because never get customers to pay for their offering and/or
build something nobody wants.
7. College Hobby
I created over 2,000 videos teaching myself how to speak in public.
Practice generally included 10-60 second videos on skills that someone
could practice on his/her own:
• Pronunciation
• Gestures
• Stance
• Confidence
• Etc.
7
8. Startup Idea: Share this with the world
through online network for public speaking
8
9. Washington, D.C. Summer 2013

Top Competitor
Solution
Resolve fear through skill-building using low cost, low effort, high
feedback training online through a guided community and content.
10. Successes
• 1st Place at Startup competition
• Designed a few courses of content
• Team of 4-7 working on this for 5 months
• Investors LOVED the idea, they just wanted to see the PRODUCT
10
11. Customers (Sales Pitch)
50 people in the streets of Washington, D.C.
• 48 thought the idea would be good for other people, but not for
themselves
• “This would be good for introverts, but not me”
• “I take beta blockers before I speak, so I’m fine.”
• “I’m a teacher. I got used to the stress a long time ago, so I don’t look for
solutions anymore.”
• 1 Person liked it because he wanted to recruit me for network
marketing
• 1 Person ACTUALLY wanted to give it a try
11
12. Customers (Product Demo)
Demo in Asperger’s group
• 100% (about 10 of 10) saw their speaking skills improve after their
combined content and video course
• 0% wanted continued lessons

20. Sustaining Innovation – Improving Existing Products
• Product improvements
• Cost cutting
• Applying best practices
20
Companies are naturally great at this.
Startups generally do not address sustaining innovation.
I will not talk about this today.
21. Disruptive Innovation
Definition: Uncovering new prodcuts and creating new lines that grow
massive profits and destroy existing markets
Examples:
• Music disks to cassettes to CDs to digital
• Letters to emails and texting
Drastically changed businesses and market players, lost jobs.
21
Lean Startup addresses how this can be done.
Companies are not good at doing this
22. Lean Startup
Lean Startup is about finding the cheapest, fastest way to
Reduce the risk of your startup not succeeding,
And rapidly iterating until you find the business that succeeds
22
23. Your Startup idea is a set of [untested] Questions
and Hypotheses
“I believe [Customer] has a problem with [Problem]”
“I believe [Solution] will solve [Problem] for [Customer]”
“I believe [Customer] will pay for [Solution]”
“I believe [Customer] will repeat buy the [Solution] or recommend to a
friend”
23
24. So… identify and reduce your risks of failing by
testing, validating, and getting to the right model
24
25. Experiments Provide Answers
Hypothesis: “I believe [customer] has a problem with [problem]”
Experiment: Ask the customers. See if they exhibit the behavior of
someone with that problem (discussed later)
25
28. Types of Experiments

have? What problems do they have?
• Customer pain points (if any)
• Alternative solutions
• Customer Segments
• Potential Use Cases (stories)

Experiment Possible Tools Question it Answers
(Validation/Invalidation)
Learning Available
Pitch MVP Scripts
Sales materials (e.g.
screenshots)
Letter of Intent
Landing Page
Can we drive traffic? Can we get signups? Will
people sacrifice time / money / emails / other
currency to solve their pain (with our solution)?
• Sales & marketing tactics
• Customer objections
• Pricing information
Concierge
MVP
A person (you)
Simple technology
(sometimes)
Does the manual version of my product solve the
customer need? Do they return or refer others?
• Product optimization (features
needed and not needed)
• Sales funnel optimization
• Potential lifetime customer value
and sales model
30. Find your Customers
GET OUT OF THE BUILDING. Find customers who have the problem you
think they have.
30
31. Find early adopters that have a problem
31
• Aware that they have the problem
• Previously searched for a solution
• Tried to solve it themselves
• Have money to pay for solution
Learn about them! Help them solve the problems they do have.
32. Once you have customer and problem, SELL IT!
Get emails, money, etc.
33
33. Pitch MVP
Purpose: see if your customer with the problem will put something on
the line to solve that problem
Script:
• Intro and qualify them
• Do you have a problem with [Problem]?
• Present a solution (doesn’t have to work!)
• Ask for the currency (attention, money, email address, etc.)
34
35. If people will not give up their email address for a
promise to solve their problem, they will not pay
money for a product that promises that it will.
36
36. Concierge
Purpose: see if the solution solves the pain
Experiment: manually do what your service is intended to do
38
37. Concierge Sample
39
Grace Ng
Lean Startup Machine
@uxceo
Question: Will connecting people with websites and UX Designers for $$$ create a
mutually beneficial experience?
1. Let customers fill out an online form that sends email to Grace
2. UX Designers fill out form that submits email to Grace
3. Grace manually introduces them in an email
Result: the experience was OK and Grace had more to improve
See the experiment at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_MH8TENpwc
38. What does Minimum and Viable mean?
The minimum feature set that solves the customer’s pain
41
39. Pivots
If you find that your proposed hypothesis failed in the market, the
market is telling you something. CHANGE YOUR MODEL (PIVOT) and
try the new one. Otherwise, you are beating a dead horse.
42
44. Lean Startup is about finding and eliminating your
risks cheaply and effectively. It’s for everything
49
Sometimes, you need to know if something is technically possible, and
the customer aspects are not risks. With lean, you build the riskiest parts
first, and you only build one (prototype) for proof of concept.
Either way, YOU’RE STILL LEAN
46. Purpose: Maintain & Increase Profits
1. Protect or grow future market share
2. Launch new products in new markets
3. Make returns
51
47. Why are startups better at disrupting?
• Internal barriers
• Lack of innovative culture
Questions often asked before creating new products
• "Are we good at this?"
• "How does this fit into our existing business model?"
• "Does it suit our brand?
• "What sithe impact on our portfolio?"
• "Does my boss like this?"
52
48. Self-Cannibalization
53
Steve Jobs: we need to invest money in new technology. The Apple II will be
outdated in a few years
Board: We need to pour more than the Apple II rather than side projects. It’s
70% of our sales!
49. Person Motivations
Entrepreneurs
• Power and influence
• Autonomy
• Managing People
• Financial Gain
• Altruism
Employees
• Security
• Prestige
• Financial Gain
• Affiliation
• Recognition
• Lifestyle
54
50. Lastly
There are millions of entrepreneurs and startups trying to eat yours and
your competitors’ lunch. Many will get the resources to compete.
There is one of you.
55
GOOD LUCK!
51. What can Companies do about it?
56
Type Definition Potential
Upside
Company
Control
Incubation Innovate from within Lower High
Acquisition Purchase innovative
companies (> 50% stake)
High High
Investment Invest in innovative
companies (< 50% stake
High Low
52. Incubation
Grow disruption from within
Skunkworks – take best and brightest and assign them to a program
57
Lockheed Martin assigned a team to
develop the fast, light X-56A aircraft
to undermine other offerings
Advantages: accomplish specific goals
Disadvantages: often secretive, best with structured innovation
53. Incubation
Grow disruption from within
Intrapreneurship – programs to commercialize internal employee ideas
58
Advantages: increase idea pool. Can be followed by accelerator program
Disadvantages: Governed by existing lines, employees don’t know how to
implement ideas, encouraging sustaining innovation
Collected 550 business plans per year from employees
3-month boot camp for finalists to polish ideas
Winners were passed to business lines for implementation
54. Incubation
Grow disruption from within
Innovation Lab – salaried intrapreneurs research and innovate together
59
Advantage: invent cool stuff
Disadvantage: may not have commercialization/implementation
knowledge, may not have incentives
Xerox invented the mouse
and Ethernet, although they
were commercialized by
others
55. Incubation
Grow disruption from within
Techstars model: teams apply with ideas, finalists work on ideas for 3
months, then teams pitch to company and investors at closing.
60
Advantages: incentives (employees keep most of profits), semi-
unstructured innovation
Disadvantage: corporate chosen ideas, which limits innovative
potential
Microsoft collected applications
& put 11 teams in Techstars for 3
months, purchasing one for $5
million. Others companies have
done the same
56. Acquisition
Purchase disruptive companies
Advantages: any company can innovate, doesn’t have to be you. Own
technology, innovative teams, fastest option to acquire
Disadvantages: costly
61
Three of Google’s
highest profile
acquisitions
57. Investment
Purchase a financial share of disruptive companies
62
Advantages: any company can innovate, doesn’t have to be you. Hedge
risks of disruption.
Disadvantages: costly. Expect to pay more than Venture Capitalists and
Angels for similar shares as they usually bring contacts, expertise, and
support, and corporations have a bad reputation for managing startups
$850 million in investments in internal venture
fund (large example)
Invest in companies related to Intel
Large returns include MySQL and Citrix
58. Combination of Strategies
Innovation Colony – separate department dedicated to creating new
products. Department has budget to incubate, acquire, or invest as
appropriate
63
Advantages: corporate control, combination of approaches, budgetary
approach, fits in with corporate structure
Disadvantages: requires money and many ideas for best results
60. To increase disruption, connect with startup
world
• Learn about startups and investment/acquisition opportunities
through your Venture Capitalist and Angel investor friends
• Connect with entrepreneurs
• Connect with other executives who are doing the same thing you are
65
61. Use a Different Brand Name
Problems with using your brand name or “powered by…”
• Increased conversions due to brand recognition (experiment
externality)
• No worry about putting out a poor product
• Risk publicity for unforeseen issues
66
62. Bring in Entrepreneurs and Innovators to Lead,
Manage, and Coach
• Your portfolio managers need to know how to manage innovation
• Your entrepreneurs and innovators need good practices and
knowledge from someone who has done it before
• Bureaucrats will not know how to manage or coach innovation teams
will
67
63. Be Cautious with your Leadership Team
• Innovation practices need leadership support in both ideas and
implementation
• If implement 10% time, needs to be:
• Applied to product teams
• Results tracked
• Enforced by you
• Enforced and celebrated by your management team
If you don’t get support, old corporate habits will take over again.
