DESCRIPTION

In the world of business, one question that intrigues authors and theorists as well as entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses is the Radically Successful Business (RSB) question: “How are Radically Successful Businesses (RSB) created and managed?” The RSB question has flummoxed authors such as Tom Peters and Robert Waterman as well as Jim Collins and Jerry Porras. The selected excellent and Built-To-Last companies of these respective authors have not stood the test of time. In short, RSB prescriptive theories and frameworks in the “In Search of Excellence” and “Built To Last” books have been largely invalidated in reality and found to be inadequate. To date, the most comprehensive and coherent answer to the RSB question has been provided by Eric Ries in his book, “The Lean Startup.” Ries’s basic premise is that entrepreneurs and organizations use continuous innovation to create Radically Successful Businesses (RSB). Who can argue with that premise? After all, the process of continuous innovation and adaptation accounts for both individual and group differences in a population of living organisms. Also, Ries presents an integrated framework for Strategic Planning, Business Strategy, Product and Business Model Innovation, and Project Implementation. In his book, “The Lean Startup,” Ries goes on to explain key ideas and principles of a Continuous Innovation and Adaptation (CIA) process that he refers to as “The Lean Startup Method.” The core of the Lean Startup Method is rapid iteration and learning using the Build-Measure-Learn feedback loop. Although Ries provides good explanations of other key Lean Startup concepts such as the Vision-Strategy-Product pyramid, Validated Learning, and Innovation Accounting, he does not provide specific tools for systematically organizing, managing, and synthesizing ideas especially for Lean Startup projects. In short, Ries does not provide tools for operationalizing key ideas and principles of the Lean Startup Method. “The Lean Startup” book can be described as a summary of Lean Startup theory that emphasizes a continuous innovation and adaptation process for creating Radically Successful Businesses. At the moment, there is an explosion of disparate tools to operationalize the Lean Startup Theory and Method. The three most popular tools being the Lean Canvas, Business Model Canvas, and Validation Board. However, these tools ignore many key ideas of the Lean Startup Theory and Method especially at the level of Strategic Planning and Business Strategy. Consquently, “Leaner Startup Innovation” was developed as a methodology that comprehensively covers key ideas, principles, and tools of the Lean Startup Method especially at the levels of business strategy, product and business model innovation, and project management; see http://goo.gl/4E4giA
