Enterprise Lean Startup – The Workshop

Go beyond the book, beyond the buzz and leave the ‘motions’ behind. Get your hands dirty and actually start DOING.

What we know: Startups aren’t the only ones facing extreme uncertainty. Large organizations are struggling to retain product/market fit as their life spans continue to dwindle. We’ve found that Lean Startup techniques can help organizations embrace an experiment driven model so that you can quickly learn what your customers actually need!

What you need to know: We are offering a 1 day free event in Seattle on June 6th, we will share our insights on using Lean Startup, Business Model Generation and Customer Development successfully at large organizations. We’ll guide you in hands-on exercises with the same tools & techniques we actually use at our clients. Our value proposition to you is to demystify Lean Startup and to catalyze real change in the way we create and deliver work.

Excited? We are.
