An important read for new startup ventures

18 December 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The Lean Startup is one of the core business books that revolutionised the business startup environment. Eric Ries stripped everything down to the core basic principles of being lean, and agile in response to customer feedback. This is not new but is collated and distilled in a very dynamic, yet clear structured manner. It must also be said that the Lean Startup is heavily biased towards the software industry and while also coming from that industry I may be unaware of how effective this approach is in other sectors, especially those that are heavily regulated and limited to the opportunity to, in reality, deliver prototypes to customers.

I really appreciated the book’s celebration that you don’t have all the answers and you shouldn’t if you’re a startup with an innovative solution. The major point, however, is that you shouldn’t pretend or act like you do but embrace the uncertainty and develop an experimental approach to delivering a Minimum Viable Product – build, measure, learn.

I found The Lean Startup not only great for advice, techniques and the analogous stories to help reinforce the approach, but it is an inspirational book that dares you to challenge everything and rationalise with customer validation that your vision is viable and scalable. When a book affects me it starts a chain reaction in my thought process so that I either gain a better understanding of where I need to go or may enable me to articulate what has been sitting just out of reach in my mind. This is one of those books.

Other books that reinforce this new startup environment and are worth reading include:
• Business Model Generation – Alexander Osterwalder
• Four Steps to the Epiphany – Steve Blank
• The Startup Owner’s Manual – Steve Blank
• Running Lean – Ash Maurya

A must read

1 July 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A must for anyone considering a startup or business venture especially technologists who seem to get obsessed with the awesomeness of an idea to business. Had to read twice whilst keeping notes. The author may come across as a pompous self obsessed douche butbth message conveyed is really important and it is delivered in a simple and clear manner.

Interesting but a bit high level or over hyped

27 July 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

For those seasoned product/service developers this book talks about some interesting case studies but much of it is mass market app/web style. There's some discussion around b2b but even that is large market.

The book talks about fairly standard marketing principles and trying to focus on learning and adapting with decent metrics used to reflect what is happening rather than vanity metrics.

It all makes sense and if you haven't already spotted the need to obtain customer feedback as early as possible then you need to read this book or rethink your career. Sad as it is, I do see organisations innovating behind a desk, running some validation as a token gesture and then building products for 9 months to find zero customer interest. I do feel though that the management of such organisations could read 20 books like this and still get it wrong. Without good sense behind it, any management initiative is going to struggle.

An interesting point I've been left pondering is how to deal with the accusations of a MVP being merely slideware or vaperware. Eric Reiss may respond that markets which respond like that clearly need a more substantial MVP but in a technical b2b market where trust and technical competence is key, one can end up having to build a significant proportion of a product, undermining the whole point of an MVP. I suppose the 5 whys would probably lead us down some path to asking why it takes so long to build anything....

As you can see, the principles in this book aren't new but even as I typed this I'm thinking it's a worthy read even if it just gets you thinking rather than learning anything new

Believe the hype - first book I've ever re-read

29 December 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have read countless management, business and self-development books and I can honestly say this is the first one that I have truly used like a workbook. What I mean by this is that I have gone back to various chapters to refresh the key learnings and then apply them to my own situation. Surely this is the true test of a book in this category. It's not written like a workbook, but to me, that's exactly what this is.

It is slightly biased towards tech companies, partculalrly the product refinement and testing, but there are some nice non-tech case studies that he works through methodically to demonstrate how the lean principles can be applied to any type of startup.

Priceless and Spoton

For once a book that does not linger in the theoretical but which of all of its teachings have been applied successfully elsewhere. This provides you with a comprehensive guide on how to better be prepared for success in any Tech related Startup. In my experience of large organisations, I can say with confidence that all the applications of the book can easily be translated into currently established companies.

I firmly believe that if established companies practiced what this books discusses as well, that it would guarantee longevity, greater ROI, more lean and customer relevant products and a much higher efficiency and effectiveness of the development direction of the product and the utilisation of development resources.

I can only strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in startups or who would be keen to optimise current product development efforts in an established business.

A Guide for Tech Start Ups

24 November 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Ok, so the lessons aren't applicable only to tech startups but much if what is written is very specific to tech founders. For some reason, it took me a while to get into reading this book giving the first few chapters 3 tries before I really got into it. Meeting Ries and hearing him talk gave me more of the impetus to complete the reading than those first few chapters but the whole book was worthwhile with great insight and instruction

It was sent quickly and I’ve been using it daily. My elbow is much less sore with it on. But it’s uncomfortable to wear for too long and a relief to take it off
