Lean Impact adapts the best practices from The Lean Startup to a new purpose – radically greater social good. The same principles of being customer-focused, building minimum viable products, and driving fast iteration through build-measure-learn feedback cycles apply, but innovation in the social sector is harder and involves some unique challenges.

Drawing on her experience across Silicon Valley, government, and nonprofits, Ann Mei Chang presents practical tools and strategies, vividly illustrated with insights from the real stories of nonprofits, social enterprises, companies, government agencies, foundations, and philanthropists around the world. Lean Impact will be an essential guidebook for anyone who seeks to maximize social impact and scale.

Our clients are saying

The Lean Impact workshop was transformational. Lean’s focus on prioritizing user needs supports our effort to become a more responsive organization that creates value together with our members. It’s a deceptively simple mindset shift that we couldn’t have made without the support of the Lean Impact team. The training leveraged real product and service challenges that our staff is working on. Ann Mei and Adam brought great energy and really helped us begin to develop the mindset, tools, and processes we need as the organization changes. We look forward to rolling out Lean Impact to our entire staff.

Lean Impact is the perfect low-resource startup model and process for community organizations, nonprofits, and activists. It makes innovation attainable to all.

The world around us is rapidly changing and the time to achieve greater program impact at greater scale is now. Lean Impact is a hands-on, high-impact way to teach people who lead teams innovative ways to design and execute programs. Participants learn to systematically address uncertainty through rapid iteration and market learning, relentlessly pursuing impact. I highly recommend reading Lean Impact and participating in a Lean Impact workshop.
