Leancamp - Session Ideas

Entrepreneurs, designers, managers, developers, innovators – how can they help you? Leancamp is all about learning from people from other disciplines and different perspectives. It’s a rare opportunity to raise your current challenges and ideas, so that others can help you through them and contribute their knowledge.

Please comment and discuss. Use votes to register interest so the session host can understand if the topic is interesting to people. (Votes do not get used to choose the session – we’ll do that together at 10am.)

To help get the discussions going and give you an idea of what topics people might be interested in, please engage in the conversation – be open with your challenges and constructive with your suggestions

Want to make the most of this? There is some guidance, tips and tricks to get you started at http://leanca.mp/getting-started.

  1. What the @$!# is a customer?

    One of the common problems people struggle with in applying Customer Development is that they talk about a generic customer. That makes it easy to create a solution that sounds good in theory, but doesn't actually make anybody happy. In this, I'll give a short talk about the common issues I see when mentoring teams, and then facilitate a discussion so that everyone can share relevant experience and get their burning questions answered.

  2. Best techniques to manage the highs and lows of the life of a startup founder

    Have you been in these situations:

    • Exuding confidence to the outside world while being gnawed by doubt?
    • Discovering that you have lost direction for several weeks and that you have been completely unproductive?
    • Feeling less passionate about your current project and more interested in a new venture?
    • Pursuing too long a project which has been comatose for a long time?

    We would explore different ways to manage these situations and maybe prevent them from happening.
    I am especially interested in circle accountability.

  5. When is the right time to Pivot

    When the processes of measurement and learning are correctly put in place, at some point it becomes clear that a company is either moving the drivers of the business model or not. If not, it is a sign that it is time to pivot or make a structural course correction to test a new fundamental hypothesis about the product, strategy and engine of growth?

  7. Lean Leadership - Managing Team Dynamics

    What are the keys to successful product outcomes for lean startups?
    How do we demonstrate a continuous improvement mindset?
    How do we create a culture to sustain improvement?
    Why do respecting and improving standards contribute toward improvement?
    Why use lean principles for leadership?

    I've got some ideas and will share, but these are just a starting point for discussion.

  8. Storytelling Prototyping for Early Stage Startups

    A skill-building workshop using Keynote or Powerpoint to create a simple 3-slide interactive prototype to tell the core story of your product. This is a powerful tool to use during Customer Development to communicate and quickly pivot/modify your message.

    I've successfully used this as a tool to close business deals, present at pitching events and to quickly tell my company story in just a few sentences. Show don't tell is a powerful way to create sellable ideas.

    • For founders of early stage startups or a product where you want to quickly test a modification/pivot

    • I'll review the process…

  9. Waking up dead projects: the dragon within

    As a founder or co-founder of startups you may have dead projects in your closet. It is my case and for some of them it bothers me that they are staying in the closet.

    Why did they die? It could be that you ran out of money, that you had a major disagreement with a team member, that a major resource abandoned ship, that you pivoted, etc.

    But in the back of my mind, I still feel that they have some potential, and there is all this development which has already been done, etc.

    Is this feeling shared by other…

  11. Bootstrapping Your Way to a Revenue-Generating Enterprise Startup

    Using a few case studies I've put together (including my startup Be Scrappy as an example), we'll look at options that startups in the enterprise space can use to pivot, finance and evolve their business plans over longer periods of time. Surviving in the enterprise space takes a lot of creativity as a "small fish" in a very big ocean. Remind the enterprise that startups are friends not food :D.

    • For founders who have or want to create a product in the enterprise space
    • We'll review the case studies and then go into a fish bowl discussion so…

  13. Improving project management through lean

    Many technology projects fail because the technology gets implemented over existing processes. How do we get organizations to spend time upfront making their processes lean before implementing technology? This could save a whole lot of money down the line!
