I’d have been more surprised if this happened a few years ago, but Lean Startup thinking has become so prevalent that even the conservative Harvard Business Review had to notice and address the topic eventually. Even better, they reached out … Continue reading →

There are so many people who are jaded about the SXSW experience.  I can understand that. It is overwhelming in its size and scope as it spreads out in Austin’s Downtown area. And some people don’t like to be mixed … Continue reading →

Just saw this blog post from Clay Richardson of Forrester, titled “Think Like A Lean Startup for BPM Success”: The next day when I reflected on the conversation, I had a moment of satori. I could see that startups share … Continue reading →

[Last of the statup-related posts for this week! How about a little "entrepreneurship for the rest of us"?!] Loved reading this guest post from Jerry Engel, on Steve Blank’s blog: While we’re excited by the results, we’ve realized that we’ve … Continue reading →

The highlight (for me) of last year’s SXSW-interactive conference was the Lean Startup SXSW – a whole day of planned content, mainly in one room (in the AT&T executive center) focused on the idea of “the lean startup”.  Eric Ries … Continue reading →

In Brakoniecki’s post on Lean Start-ups and the idea of Entrepreneur, he delves into the apparent conflict between the Taylor “Great Man” theory, and the Lean Startup’s emphasis on leadership, and learning (all while in essence refuting the idea of … Continue reading →
