A look at the New Rainmaker Platform from Copyblogger Media: http://wp-photographers.com/resources/rainmaker/
It's an online business platform that's great for content marketing businesses.
Recently, I read what may be the best book to date on tactically applying Lean Storyboarding to risky projects and decision-making in organizations. The book is “The Innovator’s Method: Bringing the Lean Startup Into Your Organization” by Nathan Furr & Jeff Dyer. Lean Startup Storyboarding focuses on answering the Lean Startup Question: How to rapidly discover and solve a Big Urgent Market Problem (BUMP)? Lean Startup Storyboarding is synonymous with Lean Startup Problem Solving as well as Lean System Problem Solving.
For those, who are not familiar with Lean Storyboarding, one could use the formal definition below, which I developed based on Eric Ries’s seminal book, “The Lean Startup.”
Lean Storyboarding refers to a tightly integrated set of tools for rapid lean improvement and innovation that lead to radically successful business models (under conditions of extreme uncertainty).
Small, medium, and large businesses are eager to adopt Lean Storyboarding as it promises two things. The first is achievement of the objective of “rapid lean improvement and innovation” which is regarded (a la Joseph Schumpeter’s “Creative destruction” as well as John Boyd’s “OODA Loop”) as a prerequisite for business model survival and growth especially in a hypercompetitive environment. The second reason is rapidly achieving the highly desirable outcome of radically successful business models that are developed under conditions of extreme uncertainty. In other words, Lean Storyboarding promises to solve, in one swoop, the Big Urgent Market Problem (BUMP) of slow customer problem solving, business decision-making, and experimentation (execution) as well as wasteful innovation.
Given the attractive value proposition of Lean Storyboarding, more and more large organizations want to act like “Lean Startups” while adopting Lean Storyboarding. However, unlike in the Six Sigma methodology, there is currently no “standard” framework, process, template, or “operating manual” for Lean Storyboarding, that is, rapid application of the Lean Startup method to improvement and innovation projects. Lean Storyboarding is a nascent field. At the moment, Lean Startup projects are mainly guided by Lean Startup principles and ideas as outlined in Ries’s book, “The Lean Startup,” nothwithstanding a lot of disparate templates and “canvases” as well as acronyms and buzzwords: MVP; GOOB; Build-Measure-Learn Loop; Hypothesis; Experiment; Validated Learning; Problem-Solution Fit; Product-Market Fit; Pivot. The result is Slow Lean Startup Problem Solving (LSPS) which defeats the primary purpose and essence of a Lean Startup.
The approach of Lean Storyboarding is designed to solve the above mentioned problems while helping organizations rapidly do lean improvement and innovation projects.

Steve Blank’s Petal Diagram vs. Rod King’s Value Engine Map: Visual Tools for...Rod King, Ph.D.
About a week ago, the startup world got ablaze from reading Steve Blank’s blog post, “A New Way to Look at Competitors.” In the blog post, Blank notes that the traditional Competitive Graph – which focuses on differentiating offerings of “Our Company” vs. “Our Competitors” - is “inappropriate for startups or existing companies creating new markets.” Blank goes on to offer a Petal Diagram which places a given company (startup) in the core of a flower while segments of competitors are place in petals that surround the core. But how useful is Steve Blank’s Petal Diagram especially for startups?
Judging from feedback including Tweets and Facebook Likes on the Internet, the response to the Petal Diagram is extremely positive. Many readers note that the Petal Diagram offers benefits including the following:
# great way to communicate a startup’s position and opportunity especially to investors (Venture Capitalists)
# segmentation of an existing market while showing sources of future customers as well as potential competitors and partners
# visually appealing way for investors to see growth opportunities for a startup
# linkage to business model innovation especially using the Business Model Canvas
Although feedback on the Petal Diagram is generally great, some people are critical of the form and usefulness of the Petal Diagram especially in presenting proposals to investors. Perhaps, the strongest critique of the Petal Diagram comes from fellow Venture Capitalist, Tomasz Tunguz who blogged on: “Why the Petal Diagram Isn’t the Best Competition Diagram for Startup’s Pitch.” Tunguz’s main critique was “petal diagrams don't communicate the startup's unique way of competing in the market.” In short, the Petal Diagram is not useful for Brand Positioning, Value Proposition Design, Competitive Analysis, and Benchmarking. Consequently, it would seem like the Petal Diagram has to be used in conjunction with the classic Competitive Graph to present a wholesome picture of a startup’s opportunity and strategy. Or ... can we visually reframe the classic Competitive Graph so that it offers its original features as well as all the features and benefits of the Petal Diagram? I believe that we can. Yes, we can.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else.
