Four books helped me out a lot over the last few years: Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank, Running Lean by Ash Maurya, The Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris and Rework by Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson. We all know these people, most often working at large corporates or even the government. You’re not alone.

This is where lean manufacturing comes in. A lot of companies do this because of mounting pressure from governments , media, and the population to clean up their acts. So, you can see this as a sort of PR move, if you like. So, if you outsource your manufacturing, you may have to stop if you want to go lean.

As the co-founder and CEO of Bell + Ivy , a marketing and PR firm in Santa Monica, CA, and Las Vegas, NV. One of the things that Cynthia points out is that you have to have people you can lean on as you build a life and a company. Lean on your team and let them be responsible. The next key would be the prioritization key.

Given the number of funding resources available today, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem getting that initial start-up cash, especially if you focus on a lean business model or MVP route to market. And, depending on the business you start, there may also be various government incentives. Talk to people, including customers.

Have you personally visited the Content Creator forums and read through the PR thread? When new changes roll out that aren't anticipated or expected - like the whole PR deal that became a PR mess - people PANIC. PR is even worse - last week I did 200 or so and found 10 UFI and AP items available to minors.

Based on the New York Times bestselling memoir, Wild (starring Reese Witherspoon) is a great story that demonstrates lean planning in action. Most people can recall the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the immense ecological and economic damage that was done, and the PR nightmare that followed.

I’ve spent this year working with corporations and government agencies that are adopting and adapting Lean Methodologies. For example, when companies say, “We value our employees” but have reserved parking spots, a private cafeteria and over-the-top offices for the executives that tells you more than any PR spin.

Most investors thought of their job as picking good companies and making sure governance was strong. The watershed moment in entrepreneurship becoming more science than art as probably Eric Ries’s publication of The Lean Startup in 2011 (although some would argue for Steve Blank’s Four Steps to the Epiphany in 2005).

Just as.NET is both a lock-in and very restricting, and Java violates both “lean cuisine class hierarchy” and “objects if necessary, but not necessarily objects”, the “we’ll just use XML” mantra deserves to die. That would have given you a trifecta. Federico Delgado. March 27, 2011 at 3:09 pm.
