CDI Founder Workshop Session 4 - Lean Startup Methodologies - Kayla Trautwein- EvoNexus (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayla-trautwein-b3bbb621)
Time/ Date- Nov 8th, 6p-8p
Description- Founders often fall into a trap: building a solution for a problem they aren’t sure that their customer really has. With so many options available to consumers, it’s difficult for businesses to stay above the noise. No longer can we ask “Can we build this?” Rather, the question has become “Should we build this?” In other words, “Are we building something that customers really want/need?” After all, the customer is always right.
One of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs is finding product-market fit, and this journey all begins with customer development. The Lean Startup Methodology will teach you best practices in customer development which will lead you to determine whether to 1) improve the solution you have built, 2) change direction (pivot) or 3) abandon your product or service and try something new. With the odds of failure so high for today’s startups, the Lean Startup Methodology offers an essential regimen for failing fast and iterating so that you have a better chance for success.
Homework-
Watch “The Lean Approach: The Lean Method” with Steve Blank by the Kauffman Founders School.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

do
When I perform surgery on the open heart, I touch the veins to check the flow of
blood so I can continue with the surgery.
When I received an order, I rush to meet a passenger in order not to make him
waiting

Before Your Minimum Viable Product
Minimal VIABLE Product

likes my product
• To improve my product I will add
more features
Minimal VALUABLE Service
• I have an idea in doing what my
customer needs my help
• I want to see if I can help my
customer to achieve his goal
• To improve my service I will
provide more help to the
customer
