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?

From idea to $2m+ in revenue: Combining 20% improvements for growth and profit
As a first-time founder with Teambox, I struggled with product traction. I thought I understood the customer and their needs and was looking at the wrong metrics to assess progress.
As we started to measure and became data driven, we continued a 10-15% growth month over month in the metrics that matter, for a sustained 2-3x yearly growth.
I'd like to explain the 3 phases we went with for it: clueless, market fit and scaling.

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…

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…

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.

The Happy Startup Canvas: Why purpose can help you pivot
Agile, customer development and lean startup have given us a great set of tools and methodologies for building innovative products and businesses.

How to become an informed business
“Data is not information,
information is not knowledge,
knowledge is not understanding,
understanding is not wisdom.”

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.

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…1 vote -

Your Product is your Team. Period
Of course in a startup it's important to confirm the viability of the Business Model. Of course you must reach your Product/Market Fit as soon as possible. Of course you must achieve all that points before you run aout of money but...
Your real goal must be to create a TEAM!
A Team is much more than a group of people with diferent skills who can work to achieve goals told before. A Team is a sincronized unit capable to work on what they believe really cares, true to their values and principles.
Benefits and Scalability are consecuences not Goals…
