Course description
The Lean Start-up method provides a structured approach for developing new ideas into successful innovations that solve real customer problems. Failure to solve real problems is why 95% of start-ups and more than 80% percent of new products fail. As a result, not only start-ups but also organisations from small non-profits to large multinational enterprises are increasingly adopting the Lean Start-up method to test and refine their ideas.
In this capstone course, you will learn the Lean LaunchPad, a specific variation of the Lean Start-up, as a structured approach to minimize the risks of failure and increase the chances of success when transforming ideas into reality. You can work on your own idea or on ground-breaking technologies developed by partner organisations. You¿ll create a business model based on in-depth customer interviews, rapid prototyping and agile development. You will also gain a holistic understanding of the Lean LaunchPad approach in different contexts by sharing learnings with your peers.
