Design Toolkit for Businesses
Design can help organisations understand their customers and develop products or services around them. Unfortunately, in this economic context, not many companies can afford it and this often led to poorly designed services or business failures. So how can we make design become more affordable and help business people start thinking like designers?
To answer this question I’m developing a Design Toolkit for Businesses that aims at creating a bridge between business and design experts. I have also designed a new model of collaboration between clients and designers, that will allow clients to take over some of the activities that…

Minimizing Your MVP
Most initial products are probably bigger than they need to be- paring it down is hard, especially for the creative, energetic types that build new products and companies.
The idea with this session would be to talk through stories and outcomes, including the following:
* What were the truly pivotal assumptions?
* What could have been the MVP?
* What was the MVP?
* How did the experimentation go?
* And then?23 votes -
Kanban primer - designing your Scrumban board
Seems like the Kanban session is proposed for London - so let's make a similar one in Barcelona! The idea is to share different approaches when designing your first kanban-scrumban board for your team. I will introduce our Scrumban approach, which I must say is quite popular (see http://www.slideshare.net/proyectalis/110506-scrumban-xp2011), but I want to see and shareLean Startup oriented Stuff!! ;)

The "Standard" Lean Kanban Board
Background: We are building https://www.blossom.io to help teams to apply 'lean' to how they develop products.
The Challenge: We want to provide them with a lean kanban board as suggested default template so they can get started immediately (low barrier).
But at the same time we are aware that providing a sensible default is very important and we could potentially end up with suggesting a half-assed board to thousands of people. This is quite a moral burden and therefore we ask for help & input of the community and people smarter than us :)

Q & A Panel: Lean Startup & Corporate Innovation and Entrepreneurship
This panel will discuss how existing organisations, who are executing known business models, can raise the success of corporate innovation and entrepreneurship by applying the disciplines of Lean Startup, Customer Development, and Business Model Generation.
What can these disciplines bring in terms of improved outcomes; what challenges need to be grappled with; what are best practices and the ROI from using these disciplines; and how can Lean Startup reach a tipping point in a crowded field of buzzwords and jargon, and the related fatigue.

Applying Lean Startup to the Sales Process
Applying the Lean Startup methodologies used to identify and achieve Product-Market fit, to create experiments and metrics in the sales process to move from Customer Validation to Customer Creation & Company Building.
This is particularly important for companies with an enterprise/business-to-business sales process, where the sales cycle can last several months, or even a year or more. Without generating feedback loops and clear metrics, even companies achieving Product-Market fit risk failing because of gaps in their sales process.

The right attitude for Lean and Agile
Confidence in Agile usually comes only with experience, but that's a problem for people applying it for the first time, or for people who work with non-Agile thinkers. (That's pretty much all of us!)
For example, Agile mantras like "It's not a problem until it's a problem" are tough to accept for people who haven't seen it work. They need to be convinced everything will be OK. A lot of first-time entrepreneurs don't want to launch until they have "all their ducks in a row" rather than launching a minimal product that tests their core assumption, gets them noticed by…
