If you are wondering, how can you rapidly test whether your new business idea has a high likelihood of success and how can you dramatically reduce the risk of its failure, then listen to this episode, as I speak to the well-known Innovation practitioner and author, David Bland, about his new book which answers just that.

David is the founder of Precoil, a long-time Agile, Design Thinking, and Lean Startup practitioner. He is an innovation advisor for fortune 500 companies and the co-author of Testing Business Ideas, the book we discuss in this episode.

In today’s discussion, we speak about:

  • Making sense of Agile, Design Thinking, and Lean-Startup methodologies.
  • What should you do to reduce the risk of developing a product nobody wants without using too many resources?
  • What the Assumption Mapping and Lean UX 2/2 framework are about?
  • What experimentations are and designed for and the kind of experiments you should run to reduce your Feasibility, Desirability, and Viability risks?
  • How Large Corporates can test MVPs that are less than perfect without hurting their brand.
  • The optimal team you need to work on a new product or a new business.
