Cómo trabajar, de verdad, con tus supuestos e hipótesis: el uso de los Árboles Lógicos de TOC
Esta charla se impartirá en castellano. Es muy fácil decirle a un emprendedor que la mayor parte de lo que cree son "supuestos" y que debe "verificarlos". Lo que nadie te enseña es una manera de trabajar de forma estructurada, sistemática y solvente con dichos supuestos. Las mejores herramientas del mundo para hacer esto fueron desarrolladas por el Dr. Goldratt, padre de la Theory of Constraints. Se denominan 'Thinking Processes' y coloquialmente, Árboles Lógicos. Esta herramienta contiene sus propios 'tests' para verificar la solidez del razonamiento y ayuda a identificar, sí que sí, qué supuestos son críticos y deben testarse…

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.

Accelerators, incubators and entrepreneurship support - how are these adapting to a post-business plan world?
Even as entrepreneurs are learning that there are better ways to start up thn write a business plan, the support ecosystem still seems attached to the idea of business plans and written applications. I recently gave a talk to a number of UK entrepreneurship support organisations, pointing this out, and inviting them to adopt models more consistent with quality creation and enablement of founders, rather than distracting entrepreneurs with the vetting of their ideas. If the New York ecosystem is in a similar space, I'd love to discuss this openly. How does a fishbowl sound?

Using the Business Model Canvas to spot assumptions #bmgen
Having used the canvas for several years, and now working directly with Alex Osterwalder, I've met a lot of people who have developed new techniques with it. Some of them have been instrumental in spotting killer assumptions, so I'd like to share those with you. Broadly, I'll tell you about finding critical points in your business model assumptions, choosing a growth engine, validating your business model with real and hypothetical numbers, and if there's time, prototyping widely to spot better hypotheses and record better customer input. I imagine this will be a fast and broad overview, so if there's any…

How can accelerators and incubators help you maximize the potential of your business idea?
In the beginning everyone does mistakes. It's difficult to launch a new product and a new company and lots of startups died in the first 6 months because they don't have the right knowledge, support, network and tools to launch a business.
So, I would like to ask everyone to share their start-up experiences and I would like to hear your ideas on how accelerators and incubators should work in order to help start-ups maximize their potential since the very beginning.8 votes -
Channel Development
Congratulations. You've used customer development to attain the product/market fit - now what?
Even assuming your awesome product really is as awesome as you think, you are competing for a finite amount of customer dollars, time, and attention. How are you going to break through the clutter to reach your customer, get their attention, and get them to open their wallet?
Unless you’re Facebook, you are going to need channel partners to get your product to market, at lease initially. How do you find a channel partner for your product, and how do you get that channel partner to distribute…

Integrating design and research into Agile
What is the best way to integrate customer development research and design into product development using Agile?
I have no solutions and I'm looking to start a debate with people applying Agile, both from the development and design (UX/Visual design) perspectives, so we can find together some actionable ideas to implement in our work.
Some problems I find from the research/design front:
- it's difficult to estimate research when your audience have not been defined.
- research tasks need to be redefined and time extended to get relevant results.
- design tasks have an iterative nature, how you fit that in sprints where…

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 :)

Lean vs. Design, Spaces of convergence vs. Spaces of divergence
Learning by doing, Prototyping, Iterations... are concepts that coexist in both worlds. The possibility of combining them arises. However, one would wonder: are we really speaking the same language on both? What do both approaches have in common? In what do they diverge? Can we, and should we, completely mix them? Should we concatenate them, and create a workflow that takes advantage of the strengths of both? Can we have the right approach for the right time? All this, and possibly more, is what we plan on dealing with in this proposed “Show and tell.”

Useful Data Analysis Methods for Lean Startups!
Social science has a wide variety of data analysis methods that can be used by startups (e.g. t-test, ANOVA, Chi-Square). This session will highlight a few of these data analysis methods, by linking them to particular types of research design and data. We are hoping to collaboratively develop a set of tools that can be used to assess the validity of different business models, by mapping business hypotheses to specific research methods and data analysis tools.
