  1. Grow a Lean & Agile Organizational Structure

    Part of the challenge to design a "human institution to create a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty" is shaping it's organizational structure. The structure is a critical success factor that limits the organizations output:

    "organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations" (Conway's Law)

    While the organization can turn out to be an impediment for changing direction, it may also be an asset of its own that outlives pivots.

    So how may we grow the organizational structure of a startup, so that it:

  2. It's your mindset that determines the effectiveness of the tooling

    Thanks to Eric Ries, Alexander Osterwalder, Steve Blank and many others we now have a brilliant set of multiple tools that facilitate getting started and even entrepreneurial behavior in a corporate setting.
    What I believe is that the entrepreneurial mindset and the way you use the tooling determine the effectiveness of your energy put in your work.
    I am willing to share the Effectuation theory and how this applies in practice. If you are unfamiliar with effectuation, please check out www.effectuation.nl and discover what most of us do unconsciously and have never been taught. Become conscious effectuators and effectiveness and…

  3. Where have all the clients gone? a lead open discussion on what works and how.

  4. 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!

  7. Examples of creating tons of ideas/prototypes/options across fields

    A founder with 100 landing pages or business model canvases? An architect with 200 sketches and 50 models? I want to see at what scale the most prolific prototypers really create, and get their opinions on why it's time well spent.

  9. What the metric?

    A collaborative workshop session discussing what metrics are worth measuring and optimising for a theoretical idea you have yet to build or a currently running business.

    After my last session on lean startup metrics at LSM (http://www.slideshare.net/stueccles/lean-startup-metrics) I had lots of discussions with people about what metrics they should be measuring and optimising for their product at their stage of growth. I thought we could make a collaborative session to allow people to help out each other on what and how to measure and optimise.

  11. Batching work

    I'd like to host a roundtable discussion on how we batch work. My feeling is that when it comes to Pomodoros, iterations, flow and batch sizing, knowing when each is appropriate would be useful. I'd love to hear how different people have done this. Who's up for joining me?

  12. How to lead change

    If successful, the startup has to scale - or to pivot, if the product hypothesis proves wrong. Both, success and failure, require a difficult to lead change that affects the whole company. After a brief introduction to a conceptual framework of change I would like to share stories and insights while playing a card game.

  13. What to look for in potential co-founders and new recruits

    I would like to start a discussion around the most important attributes to look for in potential co-founders and new recruits. Based on the proposed attributes by Paul Graham: "Determination, Flexibility, Imagination, Naughtiness and Friendship", I want to suggest specific questions to ask during your search to get true answers and therefore build your world class team faster.

  16. 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…

  19. Experimentation or Play?

    Experiments require having a hypothesis to test, but validate your results, whereas play and prototyping can be less structured but can reveal better ways forward. I'd be interested to hear some examples of how both have worked, and what they achieved.
