Lean is more than a methodology—it's a mindset that emphasizes eliminating waste and continuously improving processes. By applying Lean principles, you focus on maximizing value and removing unnecessary steps. Consider the classic example of choosing between avoiding traffic to arrive early or sitting in traffic for hours. Lean encourages you to not just minimize bottlenecks but also explore smarter alternatives. Agile frameworks take their foundations from Lean thinking. Lean promotes continuous experimentation to deliver value faster. Remember the mnemonic “Down Time” to identify and address key types of waste: Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-utilized Talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, and Extra Processing. By questioning outdated practices and optimizing every step, you save time, enhance quality, and boost customer satisfaction. Embrace Lean to streamline success and drive meaningful improvements.

The blog post You don't find the root cause of a problem in a conference room. OK, so we've gotten away from the whiteboard. Now what? You might not even KNOW the root cause by thinking and talking out where the work is actually being done. That's one of the most powerful lessons I've learned from former Toyota people I've been able to work with. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lean-blog-audio/support

There is no wrong way to get started in business, all ways are the right way. You pick whatever works for you and whatever means you have for getting started. I love using a Lean Value Canvas as a living document to keep you anchored in the process. It keeps evolving as you investigate and make adjustments  of your experiments. Everything that you do is giving you more information about what works and what doesn't work for all nine of the sections. Today's episode is all about skipping the business plan development process, and jumping into Lean Business Development with tons of experiments.   In this episode, we talk about: Becoming an entrepreneur The Lean Approach to Business Development vs the business plan model  The 9-part-holy-grail of the Lean Value Canvas Customer Segment The Problem The Solution The Unique Value Proposition The Unfair Advantage Revenue Streams Channels Key Metrics Cost Structure

 The most innovative companies tend to tackle the risk of developing new products upfront. There are 4 types of risks Value Risk Tech Risk Usability Risk Business Viability RiskThe most important risk any product developer needs to address upfront is value risk i.e. would customers find values in what we'd like to offer them? aka would they buy it? aka does our offer address their need? How would you know the answer without having a business running, you might ask? Well, that's what Lean Innovation is all about

SummaryCurren Calhoun joins Daniel for this episode of The E-commerce Content Creation Podcast and we discuss his approach to identifying, implementing and supporting new and existing technology in your photo studio. Key TakeawaysTechnology in your studio should be an enhancer. It should enhance your production process and allow creatives on your team to create. Anything that can be automated, should be automated. No one should be spending time on repetitive tasks.Evaluate your own process before trying to identify or implement new tech. Your process needs to already have the non-value add steps removed, otherwise the new solution enhances those issues. Look for solutions that allow you to work the way you want to work, but also be willing to adjust your workflow to take advantage of the tools available. Being able to "translate" creative needs and ideas to numbers to sell a necessary tool, is a vital skill to support your team. You need an advocate for tech in your studio, because things change so quickly and workflows can be interrupted easily. Educated and engaging your IT team can help smooth tech transitions and help improve support for the studio team. Links & ResourcesCurren on LinkedInCreditsProduced by: Creative Force - creativeforce.ioEdited by: Calvin Lanz Sound - clsound.netHosted by: Daniel Jester - danieltjester.com
