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!
Thanks to Lean Startup Co.’s law firm, Orrick, for being the sponsor for this track.
This is a short talk and workshop (30' + 90') to give a first introduction to design thinking. Gives theory foundation, notes a few different approaches, and then dives into one of them.
This presentation was first done at ImpactON / StartupChile evening in 2015.

Bill Aulet's presentation at the VentureWell Open conference in Washington DC to entrepreneurship educators with material on his just being released Disciplined Entrepreneurship Workbook
Presentation given on April 27, 2017 at Launch Fishers in Fishers, Indiana about what is new with entrepreneurship education - update and shortened version of Past, Present and Future of Entrepreneurship Education
Women in Innovation - My Innovation: describing what I am applying forKTN
The award is for innovators looking to scale up and grow their innovative company or to carry out an innovative project. In this workshop, we will discuss how to:
- Scope the project that you are looking to get funded
- Present your value proposition
- Describe it in the context of your ambitions to grow and scale your business
- Articulate the benefits you will gain from the non-financial support available
Teachers play a vital role in society by educating and shaping the minds of students. If you're considering a career as a teacher, here are some key aspects to consider:
Passion for Education: Teaching requires a genuine passion for education and a desire to make a positive impact on students' lives. Ask yourself if you enjoy working with young people, if you find joy in helping others learn, and if you have a genuine interest in the subjects you would like to teach.
Communication and Interpersonal Skills: Effective teachers possess strong communication and interpersonal skills. They can convey information clearly, engage students in discussions, and build positive relationships with their students, parents, and colleagues.
Patience and Adaptability: Teaching can be challenging, so it's important to be patient and adaptable. Students come from diverse backgrounds and have different learning styles and abilities. As a teacher, you need to be patient, understanding, and willing to adapt your teaching methods to meet the needs of individual students.
Continuous Learning: Education is a lifelong journey, and teachers are lifelong learners. To be effective, teachers must stay up-to-date with the latest teaching techniques, curriculum changes, and educational trends. Continuing professional development is crucial to provide the best learning experience for students.
Impact and Influence: Teaching offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact on students' lives. As a teacher, you have the power to inspire, motivate, and empower students. The ability to shape young minds and help students reach their full potential can be incredibly rewarding.
Challenges and Rewards: Teaching can be both challenging and rewarding. It requires dedication, resilience, and the ability to handle various responsibilities such as lesson planning, grading, classroom management, and addressing individual student needs. However, the joy of seeing students grow, learn, and succeed can make it all worthwhile.
Professional Support: Look into the support available for teachers, such as mentoring programs, professional development opportunities, and a supportive school community. Having a supportive network can help you thrive and overcome challenges in your teaching career.
Remember, teaching is a profession that requires commitment and a genuine interest in nurturing the minds of future generations. It's important to thoroughly research the education requirements and licensing processes in your country or region to ensure you meet the necessary qualifications. Consider shadowing or volunteering in classrooms to gain firsthand experience and a better understanding of the teaching profession before making a final decision.

The CES works – it has delivered a lot of improvements to what we do and you get
It helps you and those who come after you
It helps us
‹#›
Your feedback has an impact
Examples of change from student feedback:
Change to group sizes
Updated and more relevant content and examples
Change in class format
Change in lab tasks
Changes in assessment

Objectives of this Lecture
What does it take to be an exceptional manager?
Am I really managing if I don’t have a strategy?
Review of best-known classic strategy theories
How does effective execution help managers during the strategic-management process?
Introduction to Management
Functions of Management
Managing emotions at work & employees
The exceptional manager: strategy
Networking to build e-portfolios
Course Review
‹#›
The skills exceptional managers need
Technical skills
– the job-specific knowledge needed to perform well in a specialised field
Conceptual skills
– the ability to think analytically, to visualise an organization as a whole and understand how the parts work together
Human skills
– the ability to work well in cooperation with other people to get things done
‹#›
In the 1970s researcher Robert Katz identified three skills that are very important to being an exceptional manager: technical, conceptual and human skills.
Ask your students to think of a manager who had one or two of these skills, but not all three. What was the negative impact to the busin.
Our experience helping companies launch their innovation strategy has led us to believe that, to a great extent, one of the most important challenges facing companies that have started out on this journey is without doubt intelligent risk management.
How To Develop Value Propositions, for CIOsWalter Adamson
CIO Business Innovation Series. Paul DiModica, author of the book “Sell Technology: Technology Sales Is a Premeditated Sport”, talks about technology salesmen:
Q: What are the top mistakes people make when selling technology? Well, first of all, most of them come to sell instead of listen. They're not prepared, and they tend to shoot from the hip. Secondly, they don't know what they're selling.
Q: They don't understand their product? No, it's deeper than that. They don't understand the value of what they're selling and, consequently, can't explain its value. And thirdly, they sell technology instead of a solution.
If your IT leadership team is having the same problems, then you are not alone.
Learn how to solve the problem.

This is the presentation given to new students to have them understand what the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship is and what makes it so awesome. Lots of info coupled with some humor. September 2014
The slide Bill Aulet used to give the Keynote Speech at the MIT Enterprise Forum Pan Arab Startup Competition Final Award Ceremoy held at the American University of Cairo on May 22, 2014. It was a meant to inform, inspire and motivate young entrepreneurs to think more ambitiously about how and why to scale their companies - and the imperative to do so. It was also the announcement of an Arabic version of the Disciplined Entrepreneurship expected in December of 2014.
Summary of a presentation I gave to lunch in Connecticut (Trinity College and UConn Business School) to talk about the current state of entrepreneurship
These are the often requested slides from a SXSW 2013 presentation by MIT Prof. Sanjay Sarma and I about the importance of space design and location for innovation, with very specific recommendations. One example is the often overlooked importance of a coffee system. Investing in a great central coffee system can promote serendipitous human collisions from multiple disciplines and thereby increase innovation.

1. Practitioner or Academic
2. Little differentiation between types of
entrepreneurship
3. Demand was relatively small & field was seen
as a niche (orphan?)
4. Not perceived as a worthy academic pursuit
5. Can it be taught? Should it be taught?

7. 7
Being an entrepreneur
is the new “cool” thing.
As a result,
demand for
entrepreneurship
is blowing up!
Present
8. Present
1. Demand sky rockets
2. Overflows from academic institutions
3. Gap filled predominantly with practitioners
4. Shortage of academics
5. Coming crisis in entrepreneurship education
(Sept 2013)

14. Future
1. Serious academic and professional field
2. Rigorous but practical
3. New type of product
a) Segmentation of market
b) Dynamic system to adjust
c) Value-based as opposed to Credential-centric
d) JIT delivery model
4. Need to differentiate from private models
14
15. Process
•Start with market segmentation to identify different types of students in classes today
Segmentation
•Real representative examples (MIT)
•Significant shift in demandPersonas
•Identify needs by persona
•Note common areas as wellNeeds
•Modular for flexibility & customization, as well as rigor & quality
•What is our current set of offerings?Design
•Multiple mechanisms for delivery
•Giving options to customers (students)Delivery
•Research best practices
•Identify gaps and areas of weakness Remediation plans developed & implementedAction
15
16. Example: Target Customer
Definition & Segmentation for MIT
• MIT students
• Undergraduate (UG)
• Graduate Student – MBAs (MBA)
• Graduate Student – other Masters or PhD (Grad)
• Post Doctoral Student* (PostDoc)
• Any of the five schools at MIT
• We will further distinguish between all of these
categories of students by their interests using the
persona methodology
• Again, we focus on IDE not SME entrepreneurship

17. Market Segmentation: Personas
Exploratory/
Curious
Ready-to-Go Entrepreneurship
Amplifier
Corporate
Entrepreneur
Description
of Persona
Interested but has no
driving idea or team; is in
exploratory mode; starts
here but will migrate to
another state or out of
entrepreneurship
Chomping at the bit &
just wants help to get
going – has idea, tech
&/or core of team
Interested in
understanding enough to
successfully promote in
their org (e.g., gov, corp,
family business) but is not
the entrepreneur
Wants to be an
entrepreneur in a large
organization
Needs at a
High Level
Need info on career
choice, soft skills,
ideation, team building
and then some first-hand
experience to get a
sense of the process
Wants specific skills and
lots of them, very
quickly; less on the
upfront things
emphasized for the
“curious” persona;
wants the deep,
immersive experience
of being an
entrepreneur on her
idea/technology
Interested in all steps in
some depth but even
more interested in
strategy, policy and
economic impact of the
field. Will want to have
the experience of being an
entrepreneur so can
empathize but more
interested in the process
than the idea or team
Wants depth in
executing the process
so comfortable doing it
again but less tied to
the idea or team; more
interested in
organizational issues
and environment
issues

28. Student Personas
“Ready to Go”
Chris had his business idea
even before the school year
began and the drive to start
his business ASAP. Chris is
already meeting other
students so he can find his co-
founder, securing mentors,
and building his network. He is
taking the course for some
guidance, but he would have
started his business even
without the class.
