Innovate Like a Startup

The journey taken by an individual or a team shepherding a new project from early idea to revenue rarely progresses in a straight line. Even when teams move forward and sense progress, they often run into dead ends and are forced to reverse course. We call this messy, challenging, yet rewarding journey “navigating through the squiggles”.

This eBook was written to help leaders and product teams understand the core principles and foundational practices of The Lean Startup methodology. This quick 20-minute read will help practitioners understand why that journey is known as the squiggles, how they can use the structure and methods of Lean Startup to get comfortable feeling uncomfortable, and as a result, innovate with confidence and build products customers love.

What you get:

A review of the foundational elements of the Lean Startup methodology
Case studies and targeted action steps to help leaders and teams get started
A breakdown of the Build-Measure-Learn loops at the heart of the Lean Startup system
An overview of the role strategy and customer definition play in driving progress
A discussion about how to drive cultural change by leveraging a constructive definition of failure

From a
Movement
to a Mission

In 2011, our founder Eric Ries wrote The Lean Startup and started a movement. Over the last decade, we have learned that, by themselves, the books are not sufficient to drive the scale of impact that many organizations seek.

Lean Startup Co. was created to systematically guide our clients through installing The Lean Startup approach, leveraging best practices from our work.

We have helped hundreds of clients and thousands of teams innovate and develop products that customers want without wasting time and money spanning nearly every industry and geography.
