Pause 2016 Satellite Events - How Lean Startup Changes Everything
Event Information
Description
HOW THE LEAN STARTUP CHANGES EVERYTHING
In this 1-hour introductory workshop, you will receive an overview of the entire lean start-up process and supporting tools, backed by real-world case studies and hands-on activities. You will also be left with a small experiment to test the merits of the lean start-up in your workplace.
According to Stanford professor, serial entrepreneur and father of the lean startup movement, Steve Blank, launching a new startup or initiative within a large corporation—has always been a hit-or-miss proposition. You write a business plan, pitch it to investors, assemble a team, introduce a product, and start selling as hard as you can. And somewhere in this sequence of events, you’ll probably suffer a fatal setback.
In this session, you will get:
• An overview of the entire lean start-up process supported by real-world case studies and short activities
• You will learn how lean startups develop their initial business models
• You will learn how key assumptions underlying these business models are developed
•You will discover concepts that support the cheaply and quick testing of these key assumptions
•You will gain an overview of key metrics used to guide lean startup decision-making, including actionable, accessible and auditable metrics
•You will gain access to our member-only discussion forums where you can share learnings, challenges and thought leadership with other innovation enthusiasts
•You will gain access to exclusive Collective Campus alumni events, including opportunities to connect with both established and emerging startups
•You will become a part of the exclusive Collective Campus community
•You will receive ongoing thought leadership and case studies as they happen to keep abreast of the latest happenings relating to the use of the lean startup at large companies
This workshop is developed for any professional with an interest in The Lean Startup. This includes start-up founders and team members (this includes corporate startups and new ventures), project managers, designers, developers and marketers.

About your Instructor
Steve Glaveski spent time working at both Macquarie Bank and Ernst & Young, where he consulted for numerous ASX50 and NASDAQ listed clients, before embarking upon his own entrepreneurial journey. He used lean start-up principles to validate assumptions underlying his first start-up, Hotdesk, which lead to a successful fundraising round, before growing the office sharing platform to almost 1,000 locations across AsiaPac.
He has since gone on to advise other early stage tech startups and is a co-founder of Collective Campus, sighting an archaic mentality of "the way things have always been done around here" as a key motivator for wanting to get into the space. Steve is also a regular innovation blogger, having written for Venture Beat, Startup Daily and Shareable in addition to independent publishing on LinkedIn.
