EIT Climate-KIC Masterclass: Lean Start-up by Bernhard Doll and Sven Asmus
Bernhard Doll teaches through hands-on experience how to prototype, validate and implement innovative business models, products and services with a “lean” development approach. Sven Asmus engages participants and tests their assumptions.
Who should attend?
The Masterclass has been designed for those who already have a concrete business idea and are interested in proven, hands-on tools to prototype, validate and implement. They should be interested in innovative and environmentally-conscious business models, products and services.
Participants should be able to pitch their existing business ideas in front of an audience.
This Masterclass will be open to 35 participants, so register early!
Objectives
After the two-day session, participants will be able to:
- Identify critical hypotheses in their innovative business models, products services
- Build prototypes and run business experiments (with simple means)
- Design minimum viable business models, products and services
- Manage “lean” implementation projects under conditions of high uncertainty
The Masterclass will be a mix of input presentations, short break-out sessions, case studies and intense group work sessions, in which participants are invited to experience various tools, methods and materials. Tools like paper prototyping, large-scale posters as “shared spaces”, LEGO Serious Play to software-based tools for virtual team collaboration and crowd sourcing are some of things we will be covering.
Toolbox
Each participant will receive a personal toolbox that can be used even after the Masterclass. The toolbox contains a handbook with descriptions and how-to guidelines for all methods used in the sessions, high-resolution templates and a free one-year license for the collaboration software “Rapid Modeler” upon request.
