Your MVP sucks! (workshop)
Some ideas have technology risks, some have eco-system risks, some risk being crushed by 500 lbs gorillas in the industry, but all ideas have Product / Market Risk.
If you build it, will they come? (and give you money.)
This will be an abbreviated version of the full day workshop on using storyboarding techniques to define an MVP to test Product / Market Fit. It will draw from Lean Startup, User Experience and Customer Development methods to focus on a small series of experiments designed to test if the market has a problem that will be solved by your solution.

On The Scientific Method, Startups and Innovation
The lean startup approach to innovation focuses on applying the scientific method to the way startups are built. However, very few founders and innovators have expertise in science or the scientific method. In this talk, I will go over some of the core-principle of the scientific method and how it may be applied to the innovation process. The emphasis will be on the notion that science is a set of fundamental principles, rather than simple tactics such as A/B testing.

How to become an informed business
“Data is not information,
information is not knowledge,
knowledge is not understanding,
understanding is not wisdom.”
Clifford StollA business' lifeblood is its data, but collecting data is only the start. Data needs to flow to the teams and individuals who can use it to make good decisions in a timely manner. An informed business is one that has the right data, tools and culture to be able to turn raw data into actionable insights.
I'll talk about the challenges businesses face when using data to help with decision making and how data, experience and intuition need to co-exist to…

What Lean misses is... UX!
I've been blown away by the world of Lean, not because the ideas are all so new, but because they're all so familiar! I come from a UX background and see a lot of good vibes, building upon etc. but also a lot of different jargon and lessons to be learnt from 'each other'. I see Lean and UX living in their separate worlds (worlds that we should merge). In this talk, I'd like to zoom in on the things that UX is awesome at to see how Lean can learn from it.

MVP Technology Decisions for non Technical coFounders
Lean Startup entrepreneurs have to heavily rely on Tech cofounders or out sourced development. When considering the technologies involved to get an MVP deployed, developers are often not lean minded enough. To avoid difficulty getting out of the starting blocks, you should have some grasp of decisions that are being made on your behalf. A brief overview of the issues followed by recruited panel offering their experience of some of the major choices to be made. What's worked well, and what bit them in the ass.

The Principles behind Lean Startup
Too often Lean Startup gets dogma-heavy and very specific - I know that myself, since I often end up using tools for explanation as its easier to do.
I'd like to have a collaborative session on reviewing what the principles are that we can universally agree on. I know Salim and Rob have always been great at this - others are very welcome to give their inputs.
This is meant to be a smaller discussion group or fishbowl, not a presentation.

Viral dynamics
One of the patterns of growth described in The Lean Startup is the "viral engine of growth". This is actually already well studied in other fields, and there are dynamic models to simulate them. The SI model includes Succeptible and Infected individuals and the SIR model extends this with Recovered individuals. Obviously, in the case of a business, Infected = Customer / User!
If there is any interest I can prepare a short walk-through of how dynamic models work, and run through some scenarios of "epidemics".

Intro to UX and UX for Products
This workshop is an introduction to what UX (User Experience) is and what you can do with it. User Experience takes people as a starting point and advocates to make products for people; products that are easy to use and are useful for the people buying and using it. Whenever we interact with products, be it complicated software or a simple teaspoon, we have a user experience with that product. This workshop will dive into the world of UX and leave you with a basic understanding of how important it is to understand not only products, but also the user…

Pitching your app or startup to the media
A good pitch to the media can be the difference between getting coverage and being completely ignored. How should you approach journalists and what should you say? More importantly, what should you definitely NOT say? Martin Bryant, Editor-in-Chief at The Next Web, explains.

Breaking Silos in Larger Organizations
Larger organizations typically try to implement lean piecemeal, with different silos all trying to rapidly iterate. However, as each silo relies on inputs and outputs from other teams, it quickly becomes apparent that piecemeal lean is waterfall in disguise.
What are some of the ways that corporations can break out of silos? What works? What doesn't?
This will be a roundtable discussion from practitioners in larger corporations implementing lean on a tactical level.

Fast learning, slow decisions
With all our customer talkin' and experimentin' we're fast at learning, so much faster than startups from the 90s! But wait - in spite of all that, we still don't adapt that much faster, often because we're still slow at decisions. I'd like us to share our stories of slow decisions, why they were slow and what we can do about them.
