Lean Startup

 

Introduction​​

​

In today’s fast changing and uncertain business landscape, organizations that learn faster, and, as a result, make better business decisions, will prevail and prosper.

 

In a world changing at an unprecedented rate, large-size organizations must:

• Adapt to the new pace of rapid change

• Start operating in new ways to survive and remain relevant and profitable.

​

While many organizations find themselves flush with employee ideas, they have no meaningful and practical way to:

• Test those ideas

• Take them further, based on test measures and results, short of over-investing in full-blown product development, which often turns out to be costly mistake. 

 

The prerequisites for business survival and sustained growth and profitability are:

• Adaptation to change

• Evolution to gain or maintain competitive advantage

• Innovation

​​

Overview

​

In this 2-day training course delegates will learn how they can help their organisations in:

• Creating a company culture that empowers employees to work on their own ideas and drive growth.
