27. LEAN HOUSE – CUSTOMER / PRODUCT INNOVATION
Customer Development is a four--stepframework developed by Steve
Blank to discover and validate that you have identified the market for
your product, built the right product with features that solve
customers’ needs, tested the correct methods for acquiring and
converting customers with the deployed right resources to scale the
business.

28. LEAN HOUSE- PRODUCT DISCOVERY AND LEAN UX
LEAN UX IS PRODUCT DISCOVERY
• Inspired by Lean Startup and Agile
development, it’s the practice of
bringing the true nature of a product
to light faster, in a collaborative,
cross-functional way.
• We work to build a shared
understanding of the customer, their
needs, our proposed solutions and
definition of success.
• We prioritize learning over delivery to
build evidence for our decisions.
A MODERN, BALANCED
TEAM
• Small 3 - 10
• Dedicated
• Self-sufficient
• Autonomous
• Empowered

29. DESIGN THINKING HISTORY
Herbert A. Simon's 1969 book “The
Sciences of the Artificial”, and in
design engineering to Robert McKim's
1973 book “Experiences in Visual
Thinking”, Bryan Lawson's 1980 book
“How Designers Think”
Peter Rowe's 1987 book Design
Thinking, Rolf Faste expanded on
McKim's work at Stanford
University in the 1980s and 1990s,
teaching "design thinking as a
method of creative action.”
Design thinking was adapted for
business purposes by
Faste's Stanford colleague David
M. Kelley, who founded the
design consultancy IDEO in 1991

30. INNOVATION IS NOT LIMITED TO DESIGN THINKING
Problems that a r e ill-defined:
both problem a n d solution
a r e unknown a t the
beginning. A large p a r t of
the problem solving is
actually defining the problem.
And/or tricky: it involves
quite a bit of risk, a s you
a r e leaving the comfort
zone of the organization.
Desi gn thinking (creative,
intuitive, emotional) is not
the an swer to every
single problem.

31. PRODUCT DISCOVERY AND DESIGN THINKING

32. PRODUCT DISCOVERY AND PRODUCT DELIVERY

33. GOOGLE VENTURES AND DESIGN THINKING = DESIGN SPRINTS
Design Sprints are 2 – 5 Days used to
determine the product feasibility or
product requirements.
The goal is to answer critical
business questions using design,
prototyping, and testing ideas with
customers.
Uses a mix of Agile and Design
Thinking
