In 2013, Harvard Business Review published its most downloaded and read article to date, stating categorically that "the Lean Startup changes everything" for corporations by reducing risks, increasing competitive advantages, and achieving new growth at unprecedented speed.
Unfortunately, companies still find it hard or next to impossible to respond because they are still centred around the old, slow and cumbersome processes, tools, skills, methodologies, roles, compliancies and KPIs that block innovation and thus make them vulnerable to being disrupted by new agile upstarts in the first place.
However, now you too can learn how to master innovation - the startup way - in just two days with +ANDERSEN & ASSOCIATES' popular open "Innovator Masterclass".
What you get: You'll acquire the language, tools, and processes needed to :
- Develop a clear understanding and mastery of Business Model Engineering, Customer Deveiopment, Agile Engineering & Innovation Accounting - collectively known as the "Lean Startup" methodology in a corporate / NGO / GO setting - Model your business/ new venture and understand your value proposition(s) - Develop a clear understanding of your customers - Develop a clear understanding of your solution / product - Develop a clear understanding of how to test Reduce risk of failure through systematic testing Increase the speed of innovation in your company
How: Part by visually engaging theory and part by several hands-on exercises, working through either an existing idea you brought with you as a team or together we will find a relevant new challenge for you to work on, and you will learn how to move it beyond ideation to get to the metrics that matter. This hands-on, limited-availability workshop, set in an inspiring venue with great nutritional food and awesome coffee, is sure to be a learning experience for life.
