Most importantly we now have a better idea of how to build innovation programs that will deliver products and services, not just demos. the best presenter and flashiest demo usually win. And we can explain why innovation in large organizations looks nothing like startups.

Lean LaunchPad class developed for Stanford. And the Lean LaunchPad class I developed at Stanford was the first such class. I believe the analogy is identical for entrepreneurship.The capstone entrepreneurship classes like NSF I-Corps or a Lean LaunchPad class, are for those who have already decided they want to be entrepreneurs.

And inviting to the booth/dinner/private demo. General Comments for both Awareness and Lead Generation Demo’s I don’t care how small the booth or trade show is, do a canned demo every 20 to 30 minutes regardless of whether anyone is at your booth or not. Demo’s are the heart of the booth. One of them is a loser.

Later, they built a web demo to demonstrate the functionality of the PalmPilot product—the idea was to lure people to the PalmPilot project. Then, to their surprise, the web demo really started to take off, and they started to attract a lot more interest in the web product than the PalmPilot product. What do we do?

No amount of learning how to get a VC meeting or improving your VC demo skills will fix the lack of concrete customer data. Your presentation doesn’t have a single word about Lean Startups or Customer Development. You might as well bring your lucky rabbits foot to the VC meeting.

But Apple had planned to announce and demo QuickTime without a way to get video into the Mac. Something Profound Engineering gave us a demo of the prototype board and software and asked, “Do you guys think we can sell a few of these boards?” We must have made them play the demo twenty times. My first IPO at Convergent.

While the parallels between a director and a startup founder are striking, what’s even more surprising is the match between the creative process Pixar uses to make its movies and our implementation of Lean for startups in the Lean LaunchPad and I-Corps incubators. Lean Startups are built around the same notion as Pixar research trips.

That's one of the very, very early companies that I was talking to Lean Startup about. I'm really curious, for now and when founders encounter Lean Startup, it's a famous old idea for most folks. The default was spending two years trying to perfect an application and doing a big launch and demo day, or I mean, TechCrunch Disrupt.

The Navy has demos of alternatives, but there is no force structure built on a different set of principles that would complicate China’s plans and create doubt in our adversaries of whether they could prevail in a conflict. If the primary asset of the U.S. Like the pre-WW2 aircraft carriers.) In fact, there isn’t.

Minimal viable products are being demo’d to sponsors and sponsors are reacting to what the teams are learning. The first barrier to innovation is the Horizon 1 leadership conundrum. Horizon 3 organizations require Horizon 3 leadership (with Horizon 1 second in command.). Slide 2, John Boyd and the OODA Loop (finally!)

And that the Lean Innovation tools we’ve built to deal with disruption and create continuous innovation for large commercial organizations were equally relevant here. The Navy does not lack drone demos and prototypes, but it has failed to deploy Horizon 2 innovations with speed and urgency.

The demo day, for example, is completely virtual, was completely virtual. Alpha Lee : Yeah, first ever virtual demo day. I think once we lean on the community, the community really has uplifted us to an even more promising stage. Eric Ries : What was that like? Alpha Lee : From a YC prospective, obviously that changes dynamics.

The median figures for each strategy should give you an idea of which program to lean towards. Make sales leaders part of your ABM leadership team. They haven’t completed a form, joined a webinar, or requested a demo. Typical deal sizes for Programmatic ABM are $50K to $250K. But there are other factors to consider.

What we find though buddy is this, and if I can spend a minute defining each one in a moment, but what we find is this, that in a business where the C level execs all just keep hiring other C level execs like themselves, or with an owner who hires people like themselves, very quickly the business leans in one direction. It’s loyal.

The truth is that the.NET community, outside of the thought leadership at Microsoft and a few outliers (e.g. In March 2009, they launched a Beta version and demoed it at FinovateStartup 2009.” What do you give this startup’s chance of success with this kind of clueless leadership? StackOverflow), is anemic.

Other tools, can provide more dimensions including children, political leanings, ethnicity etc… You can see how this might be a lot more interesting for a magazine or content sites, and perhaps a lot less to other types of businesses. If I can discern intent why do I need demo/psycho data? What other websites do they visit?
