Video: Lessons from Eric Ries’ The Lean Startup
Eric Ries is a software and product developer, entrepreneur, now public speaker and author of the bestselling book The Lean Startup. He recently gave this talk at LSE and I remember thinking that his lean methodology can and should be applied to most event businesses. This isn’t a short video - but if you are interested in strategy and thinking differently about your job it’s worth watching!
(I recommend skipping the introduction to 4:30 minutes in, and if you have time listen to the questions at the end)

Will this live up to the raw amount of time, talent, determination, energy, passion and money poured into it by founders, investors and employees?[/testimonial_item]
[testimonial_item name=”Eric Ries”]Learn faster
Minimise the time between; we have an idea and validated the idea to work out if that idea is brilliant or crazy.[/testimonial_item]
[testimonial_item name=”Eric Ries”]Experiment
How much inventory should you have? No more inventory than the early adopters. Before you can have a million customers you have a thousand, before you have a thousand you have 100 and before 100 you need ten. [/testimonial_item][/testimonial_slider]
