In the last episode, you learned about the X-matrix – a powerful visual tool to link strategy with execution. Now it's time to learn how to use one to create your strategic growth plan!   Don't worry, we won't leave you alone! You can actually listen to our producer and host, Alicia Butler Pierre, as she describes how we completed an X-matrix to assist you in creating your own. In this episode, Alicia explains the events leading to the development of our long-term strategy to convert our business model from being 100% consulting to 100% training.   This shift in our business model laid the foundation for completing our X-matrix. It also includes our idea for an online course that we were able to vet and validate thanks to the Lean Canvas tool described at the beginning of this season.   Also included in this episode is: An explanation of how to complete an X-matrix, How to use the S.M.A.R.T. method to define strategic goals, A demo of our X-matrix, and Discussion of the action plans required to implement strategic goals.   Be sure to download the free X-matrix template provided in the show notes so that you can follow along. Good luck!  

We were finally able to launch our first episode for this season. It was such an amazing topic to listen to and it was also indeed a Masterclass! The previous episode featured the Lean Canvas, a one-page guide that Ash Maurya created. Martina discussed a tool she leverages to help us innovators, entrepreneurs, and operational leaders vet and validate our ideas.   Lean Canvas is a strategic document that helps managers assemble hypotheses of a particular business model for launching any start-up. It is an efficient approach to developing a one-page business plan for validating your business idea into key assumptions for better analysis.   In this episode, Alicia will tell us how Martina was able to help her with her ideas which she had some uncertainties with. Alicia will also show us her company's very own Lean Canvas which Martina helped her complete, so that you can also follow along and see how she was able to vet this training idea and hone it. Take this opportunity to learn how to use the Lean Canvas and understand what could be pursued as part of a strategy not just to grow, but also to scale. So, sit back, listen, and learn as much as you can on how to use this tool in this Masterclass and find out how to vet and validate your ideas if they will be an asset or a loss.  

We're proud to present the first lesson in our Growth Strategies Masterclass!  With so many ideas for improving our business and boosting cash flow and profit, it's tempting to start pouring our energy, time, and money into those ideas. But wait! What if you end up losing a lot of money on an idea that ultimately doesn't work? Martina Goss warns against becoming a “busy fool.” As a certified Lean Startup coach, she's brilliantly transformed her career from a certified accountant crunching numbers for businesses to a trusted advisor for startups and existing businesses with new ideas.  Martina introduces us to a tool she leverages to help us innovators, entrepreneurs, and operational leaders vet and validate our ideas. It's called the Lean Canvas, a one-page guide created by Ash Maurya for testing the viability, feasibility, and desirability of an idea.  In this episode, Martina explains: What the Lean Canvas is, what it looks like, and how to use it, The 12 questions the Lean Canvas forces you to answer about your idea, How to use the Lean Canvas, Why your idea should “cross the chasm,” and much more!   She also makes the case for enlisting the help of a facilitator in completing your Lean Canvas. Listen as she details how to conduct customer discovery as a necessary measure of your idea's ability for mass appeal.  Avoid the dangers of becoming a busy fool with a tool that will help direct your efforts on the ideas that not only make sense, but also can make you money!

When she joined Rice Business in 2017, Jillian Fink was in the process of founding OcciGuide, the first device used in the emergency care setting to treat migraines, a neurological condition that disproportionately impacts women. In her role as CEO, Jillian navigated the complexities of the healthcare system to get her medical device approved by the FDA, including designing clinical trials using real-world data, navigating U.S. healthcare treatment paradigms, and developing creative strategies to commercialize the device during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, the healthcare entrepreneur joins host Maya Pomroy to share her story of pivoting from elementary education to co-founding and leading a medical device startup company. She talks about her unconventional path, her advice to those considering a pivot in entrepreneurship, and how she invests her time in giving back to the community.The Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice University Jones Graduate School of Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On understanding the value of listening08:40: [Maya] Was OcciGuide something that was already on the horizon for you? Or, is this something that developed while you were in school? [Jillian] It was very, very, very early; we'd been talking about the potential for it. And then there were actually some of our professors at Rice, or my professors at Rice, who thought it was interesting. And there's a tech entrepreneurship class, or was when I was there, that we got to run it through the class and do some of that really early market research, Lean Canvas development, or whatnot. I got to work with my classmates on it, which was great because I had so many smart classmates, and all of their contributions were just so fun and helpful to be able to partner with them. And then it grew from there.An advice for women entrepreneurs17:08: With everything in business or life, finding mentors and people who can be a resource to help you answer questions and also have already identified pathways is so important. There are amazing women out there to find that can provide that support, but there are also men who can also provide that support, and that shouldn't be overlooked.On understanding the value of listening17:08: It's so important to listen and not get caught up in getting your message out there, regardless of what other people are saying, but actually to hear what people are saying and respond accordingly, in that non-emotional, non-angry way, but just to have that dialogue, and people will respond to that.Show Links:Guest Profile:Jillian LinkedInOther Links: Fem Health Insights OcciGuide American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)

In today's episode Nikki talks to Ann Nkune about her rediscovery of Appreciative Inquiry.  Ann is a facilitator working with charities, social enterprises and the public sector helping people to increase their impact and be sustainable. Her work over the last 10 years has been parent friendly start up and career development programmes for women operate in the environmental and social impact sector.  Ann describes a Linked In post that she recently wrote about Appreciative Inquiry (AI) where she was able to connect with other AI enthusiasts to talk to about it, help her work through the complexities and challenges and think about what more she could do when facilitating. And how she had fallen back in love with it having not used it for a while.   Ann talks about the premise of AI and how most theories of change are about identifying a problem or risk. Whereas AI says that change is much more likely to happen when people understand where their strengths and the strengths of an organisation are, and can have a level of enthusiasm and optimism that change is possible. So AI increases the positive energy that comes from a group even when there are tricky things so they can see their way through the difficulties.   She describes some examples of AI and the process which starts with a topic and going through 4 stages; DISCOVEREY (proud/pivotal moments and skills and qualities), DREAM (allows people to step back and see the big picture and how she encourages people to be creative) - Ann shares an example of creating playdough toilets! DESIGN (what is the reality and what are the options) and DELIVERY (commitment to action and major projects that are required to get to the dream stage).   Ann tells Nikki how she had rediscovered AI in lockdown when doing goal setting online. She remembered how she first started to use it several decades ago and how she was initially quite cynical about it, but that AI gave the people she was working with a new perspective.   She shares her observations and different uses; for individual discussion e.g. mums of young children as a way of capturing their strengths, bringing together people in teams to build relationships in new ways. She describes how energising it is in a group and to be visionary even if they don't think they are.   Nikki asks how her thinking about it has evolved....Ann says she has a recognition that where situations are complex and there is anxiety or conflict that there needs to be a pre-briefing, something that happens pre-process so that people have an opportunity to vent and get things off their chest, and process so they can decide what is crucial to bring in and what can be left out, and to understand what is going to happen in the process.   She also describes how she discovered Time to Think by Nancy Klein and the thinking environment and how this requires a particular type of listening and questioning. Operating the AI process using thinking environment principles really improves it. She also considers conflict and Non Violent Communication as a potentially something to use before AI. She is also a fan of mindfulness as a way of preparing for these conversations.   Nikki asks about the preparation and getting to know the context when using AI . Ann says she doesn't do this as much as she used to when she felt she needed lots of facts. But now she needs to know that people are in the right frame of mind to do the process. She prepares well but doesn't get too bogged down in the details.   Ann shares some examples of using AI – individual work with women who have taken the leap from prevaricating to putting something in place and taking practical steps (using AI and the Lean Canvas). In terms of organisations she has done quite a few team building sessions, building relationships between board members and staff, allowing them to work more effectively.   To connect with Ann Nkune on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ann-nkune-6a08b211/?originalSubdomain=uk or Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bloomsburybeginnings/?hl=en and her webasite is: https://bloomsburybeginnings.org/  You can connect with Nikki Wilson on Twitter @NiksClicks  Listen to our podcasts:  https://www.facilitationstories.com/   And connect with us on Twitter: @fac_stories       

Timestamps: 4:20 - Reading business books in engineering school 11:50 - The lean startup methodology 19:30 - The lean canvas 39:52 - The entrepreneurial renaissance 51:54 - The lean workshop About Ash Maurya: Ash Maurya is the founder and CEO at Leanstack, a leading provider of Lean Startup and Lean Business Modeling tools, content, and coaching resources. He is also the author of the book Running Lean. Prior to Leanstack, he worked at companies like telecom technologies and Sonus Networks and founded the startup Wired Reach in 2002, which enabled the creation of simple peer to web applications that blurred the boundaries between the desktop and web. He holds a BSc in Electrical Engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology. The Lean Canvas came about as a way to combat the preconceived notion of business ideas as overnight successes. It helps aspiring founders take their idea and deconstruct it to learn what needs to be tackled first and how to chronicle the process. It helps you get specific (because if you try to build a product for everyone, you end up building a product for no one) and helps you find out whether the problem you're looking to solve is big enough. The Lean Startup Methodology can also help you figure out things like pricing. Founders tend to want to price their product in terms of solution (meaning, based on how much it costs to produce the product/solution) instead of pricing it according to the problem (figuring out how big of a pain the problem is, and how much people are willing to pay to fix it). It can also help founders find paths to customers, whether that be through paid advertising or through posting original content, or through being featured on other people's original content, like Ash just did with Swisspreneur. Memorable Quotes: "Being too early to market is almost as bad as being too late." "When we try to build a product for everyone, we end up building a product for no one."

Crear un producto requiere de un proceso adecuado y una serie de pasos que deben ser ejecutados al detalle, sin impulsos de correr contra el reloj. Para saber más acerca de este tema, en este episodio invitamos a Gustavo Grande, director de programas empresariales de StartUP FIU. A lo largo de los años, Gustavo ha ayudado a numerosas startups y empresas establecidas a desarrollar nuevos productos y una mejor estrategia para sus negocios. Gustavo nos comenta que “un producto no es necesariamente el negocio, sino que es uno de los componentes de un negocio”. “Si estamos desarrollando un producto lo primero que tenemos que entender es el problema que existe y cómo se lo podemos resolver a un usuario. De allí, la experiencia, los procesos y todo va a surgir desde el punto de vista del usuario. Si no existe un problema, no tiene sentido invertir en una solución”, explica nuestro invitado. Tal como sostiene Gustavo, hay ciertos indicadores en función del usuario que un emprendedor debe tener en cuenta. Los clientes a veces tienen un problema y son consientes de ello, pero otras veces no es así. “Como seres humanos pensamos que somos racionales, pero muchas veces no existen razones lógicas a nuestros pensamientos y comportamientos, porque están más ligados a las emociones”, asevera Gustavo, y eso influye constantemente en la elección y armado de un producto. “La persona tiene que estar buscando una solución. La forma más fácil de identificar si un problema representa un carácter de urgencia o prioridad para alguien es preguntándole si lo ha buscado en Google”, afirma nuestro especialista, y agrega que hay que tener en cuenta “si la persona está buscando una solución con diferentes herramientas”. Lo último a considerar es si los usuarios tienen un presupuesto, porque a veces las personas están conscientes del problema, pero si no tienen presupuesto no van a comprar nuestro producto. “Y ahí llegamos a otro error de los emprendedores que, al principio, no entienden el concepto de competir por valor, sino que empiezan a competir con el precio y lo bajan, lo cual impacta tanto en su estructura de costos como en sus márgenes de rentabilidad que, más adelante, no les permite reinvertir en la escalabilidad de su negocio. Como el producto es un componente fundamental del negocio, el precio también lo es”, enseña Gustavo. Saber estos indicadores es fundamental al momento de empezar a considerar el desarrollo de un producto físico o digital. Gustavo hace referencia al libro Working Backwards, de Bill Carr y Colin Bryar. Los autores dicen que hay que trabajar desde donde se origina la cadena de valor, y eso es el punto de vista del cliente. “A veces decimos que los clientes siempre tienen la razón, pero al mismo tiempo no saben lo que no saben o lo que es posible. Es importante entender cómo hacemos las preguntas para poder sacar lo que es esencial para el desarrollo de un producto o servicio”, remarca nuestro invitado. Para acercarse lo más posible al acierto, Gustavo vuelve a adentrarse en las técnicas de otro libro llamado The Mom Test, de Rob Fitzpatrick, el cual se basa en un método científico en el que hay una hipótesis, un producto, testeamos y validamos la hipótesis o no. “Pero él decía que en ese proceso hay que entender que existen factores humanos que hay que tener en cuenta”, resalta Gustavo, y esto es claro en el libro ya que se presenta un hijo ante su madre para mostrarle una idea de producto, pero no obtiene la devolución objetiva que necesita. “Hay elementos que el emprendedor tiene y uno es el tema del ego, porque el producto para un vendedor es su bebé y al no querer ponerse vulnerable, está poniendo en riesgo la objetividad”, recalca Gustavo. “Cuando uno hace preguntas no tiene que hacer preguntas hipotéticas del futuro, sino que tiene que hacer preguntas en función del comportamiento y las emociones del pasado. De esa forma obtenemos data real. Tenemos que hacer preguntas de las emociones, hábitos y del comportamiento del día a día”, expone nuestro especialista, dejando en claro que la conversación con el cliente es clave y es uno de los métodos para recabar información. “Hay una metodología conocida como Design Thinking, que habla de la empatía. Existe la empatía cognitiva que es cuando no podemos vivir una situación de alguien pero podemos activar nuestra empatía al colocarnos en situaciones en las que hemos experimentado las mismas emociones. Luego viene la empatía emocional, que es cuando hemos pasado por las mismas situaciones y podemos conectarnos más profundamente. Y luego está la empatía que nos lleva a la acción, que no sólo nos permite entender las emociones sino también querer ayudar en lo que necesita esa persona en ese momento. Y hay diferentes formas de hacer esto: una es simplemente escuchando a esa persona, la otra es haciendo preguntas, la otra es observando su comportamiento y la otra es compartiendo un día con el usuario. Estas son las técnicas que existen para que uno colecte data y saber en qué contexto el usuario se encuentra al momento de sufrir ese problema y así encontrar una solución para él”, desarrolla Gustavo. El proceso de colectar data es fundamental y no hay métodos o herramientas únicas para llevarlo a cabo. Lo que sí hay que considerar es el número de personas a las que vamos a entrevistar. “Lo que estamos tratando de entender es cuáles son los puntos en común que tiene un grupo de personas para poder servirle a la mayoría de ellos. De lo contrario, cada persona va a tener una necesidad diferente y, al momento de desarrollar un producto, vamos a tener una lista extensa y vamos a perder tiempo, dinero y energía para lanzarlo al mercado”, asegura nuestro invitado. Cuando estamos desarrollando un producto lo más importante es que lo podamos testear lo antes posible, es decir, que con la información que tenemos y con al menos 100 personas entrevistadas “podamos identificar tres elementos comunes con los que les vamos a aliviar del 50 al 80 por ciento de los problemas al 100 por ciento de esos usuarios”. “Desarrollamos nada más esos tres o menos elementos, lanzamos el prototipo, colectamos data y, en base a esa información, vemos cuál es el patrón de comportamiento para saber qué tenemos que modificar de nuestro producto”, enumera Gustavo. Según nuestro especialista, cuando hablamos del prototipo no necesariamente tiene que ser el producto terminado, sino “aquello que podamos producir con la menor cantidad de recursos en el período de tiempo más corto”. No hay un tiempo exacto, ya que es relativo y depende del negocio en el que nos adentremos. “Usualmente son tres, seis, doce o 18 meses lo que la gente dice que es el tiempo para desarrollar un producto o servicio, pero va a depender del tipo de negocio, de nuestra capacidad y de nuestra resiliencia para aceptar el fracaso y el feedback”, expresa Gustavo. Sea cual sea el resultado del prototipo, nuestro invitado opina que nunca es negativo ni positivo, porque “si el resultado no valida la hipótesis que tenemos, igualmente nos está dando una información”. “Cuando pasa eso puede no validar nuestra hipótesis desde el punto de vista micro, es decir, características concretas del producto, o desde el punto de vista macro, donde ya hablamos del cambio de target del público”, aclara nuestro invitado. Este tipo de procesos aparecen miles de veces en un emprendimiento y esto involucra a las pequeñas, medianas y grandes empresas. Fuera del producto, hay otros componentes de un modelo de negocio que no debemos olvidar, y Gustavo hace referencia a Ash Maurya, quien creó el Lean Canvas, que “es un mapa mental que nos permite identificar los componentes del modelo de negocio que son claves, y se basa en entender cuál es el problema, las soluciones que existen en el mercado, nuestro segmento de mercado, dentro de ese segmento cuál es nuestro usuario principal, la propuesta de valor, nuestra solución en función de esa propuesta de valor, cuál es nuestro componente secreto que nadie va a poder replicar, y en función de eso cuáles son nuestros recursos, las actividades principales en las que nos vamos a enfocar, los canales de comunicación, nuestra relación con el cliente, nuestra estructura de costo y forma de generar ingresos”.  Un lanzamiento de producto exitoso no sólo depende de que el producto sea el correcto para la audiencia indicada, sino de estar acompañado por una estrategia de marketing acorde a las expectativas que se tienen. Sí, hay muchas variantes que cambian dependiendo del tipo de producto o servicio, pero la mayoría de los lanzamientos exitosos siguen los pasos que nombró Gustavo durante este episodio.

Apps with Patrice Archer from Appy Ventures Patrice Archer is CEO of Appy Ventures which helps organisations develop apps. He is a startup maestro. With 10+ years of experience in private equity financing and another 8 years building businesses, he is an impressive guest. Patrice specialises in UX, commercialisation and finding how you can benefit your market with an App. Kevin and Graham experienced first-hand how Patrice is a lateral thinker. He sees the opportunities other people miss. Appy Ventures Patrice didn't think too long about naming his company. He says it's like naming a child. Don't overthink it! So Appy Ventures was borne. The company serves businesses looking for web and mobile apps. Kevin dryly said you could very easily put an H infront of Appy to make it Happy Ventures! It's how his mind works. Find out more about Patrice's website - go to https://appyventures.com Why Do People Need Apps? With a deep understanding of something, the app can better serve a target audience. Here's what Patrice said: http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Patrice-Archer-Why-Have-an-App.mp4 Meanwhile, Patrice loves to help people at any stage of their development. Yes, they may be putting together ideas for a fundraising round, as an early stage start-up, but by helping them now it helps them VALIDATE a concept. How to validate a new idea? Create wire frames representations with a little graphic design of your app. Get feedback. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Patrice-Archer-How-to-Validate-a-New-App.mp4   80:20 Rule It's that rule again! Thinking about validation, if you ask 5 people what they think, without leading questions. All you want is their thoughts. With just 5 people, you get 80% of the feedback as you would from a 1,000 people. So, put yourself out there. Patrice says it might be uncomfortable. The app idea is yours. You live and breathe it. Get the feedback, then iterate. Then go ask 5 more people. That'll give you a real solid understanding of what they think the app will do. On top of that, Patrice says do something called a "Lean canvas". That phrase was new to Kevin and I - but not the explanation! FROM GOOGLE - What is a Lean Canvas? Lean Canvas is a 1-page business plan template created by Ash Maurya that helps you deconstruct your idea into its key assumptions. It is adapted from Alex Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas and optimized for Lean Startups. It replaces elaborate business plans with a single page business model. What's covered on the 1-page Business Plan? Problem you are trying to solve? Solution? The market? Who are the users that are going to be using this? Costs and revenues What is your channel to market as well? So, with the prototype, some research and this 1-pager, you need to ask the question - is this a business? Apps for the Affluent Market http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Patrice-Archer-Apps-for-Affluent-Clients.mp4 Patrice provided a drinks investment app example. Kevin referred to our podcast with Dominic Brennan who runs Noble Rot, a fine wine investment opportunity. We briefly discussed costs, and Patrice mentioned that the cost of a prototype is usually in the low thousands. After that there is a build or phase one. And that costs tens of thousands. How NOT to Market and How To Market an App Patrice recommends pre-selling to influencers. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Patrice-Archer-how-to-Market-an-App.mp4 When it comes to influencers, listen to our podcast episode 319 with Sedge Beswick. Graham mentioned a colleague who works as a Marketing & Events Co-ordinator for the Friends of Silsden Town Hall. Her name is Mehrunnisa and here's a link to her Instagram page (not that she needs more followers!!)

BIO: Ash Maurya is the author of two bestselling books, “Running Lean” and “Scaling Lean,” and is also the creator of the top-rated one-page business modeling tool “Lean Canvas.” STORY: Ash had this social networking idea that he thought was unique, so he kept it to himself as he built on it. He never tested the market until he launched, and the network was a flop. Ash kept building the network in isolation until seven years later when he realized he was supposed to be building a customer base, not the perfect product. LEARNING: Take at least 90 days to test a new idea before launching it. You need customers for your business to survive.   “You can actually sell before you build.”Ash Maurya  Guest profilehttps://amzn.to/3wQSHle (Ash Maurya) is the author of two bestselling books, “https://amzn.to/3wQSHle (Running Lean)” and “https://amzn.to/3wQSHle (Scaling Lean),” and is also the creator of the top-rated one-page business modeling tool “https://amzn.to/3wQSHle (Lean Canvas).” Ash is praised for offering some of the best and most practical advice for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs worldwide. Driven by the search for better and faster ways for building successful products, Ash has developed a continuous innovation framework that synthesizes concepts from Lean Startup, business model design, jobs-to-be-done, and design thinking. Ash is also a leading business blogger, and his posts and advice have been featured in Inc. Magazine, Forbes, and Fortune. He regularly hosts sold-out workshops worldwide and serves as a mentor to several accelerators, including TechStars, MaRS, Capital Factory, and guest lecturers at several universities, including MIT, Harvard, and UT Austin. Ash serves on the advisory board of several startups and has consulted with new and established companies. Worst investment everIn 2011, Ash came up with a social networking idea that he believed was so good that he couldn't tell anyone. The friends he told, he swore them into secrecy. They all convinced him that this would be a perfect idea. Ash took all the money he had, got a small team together, and spent a year building the network. He never talked to anyone about his idea during the building period. Nine months into that journey, he heard about Friendster, the first social network launched. Someone had beat him to it. However, Ash was still convinced his idea was unique, so he continued to build on it. Ash finally launched his network and spent another year trying to get everything right, but it didn't work. Then he took a hard pivot and had a lucky break when another company that liked the technology he was using licensed it for a little while. But it was still not Ash's big outcome story. His co-founders lost interest in the network and walked away. Ash kept plugging along and bootstrapped until the five-year mark, building his product. After about seven years, Ash realized that he had been looking at all his ideas from the inside out. He concentrated on building a product for himself instead of creating a customer base first. Lessons learnedWhen building a business, focus more on purpose and meaning. Ask yourself if you're creating what the customers needs. Give yourself 90 days to test the market and demonstrate traction if you have a new idea. If your customers aren't paying attention to your idea, building a product will not make a difference. Andrew's takeawaysTo turn great ideas into great products, the people around you should always be confident that you can implement them. Decide the minimum number of customers you need to stay in business and when. Be as specific as possible. Actionable adviceSet a goal and a deadline or a timeline. Then ask yourself what's the smallest outcome that would deem this project a success. No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsAsh's goal for the next 12 months is to get from 1 million people on his platform to 10 million or at least within the next three years. Parting words  “Look...

“If we would only spend a bit more time on this feature before release, we could make it just perfect”... does this sound familiar? And yet when building digital products, we work with MVPs and small improvements. Why is this better than working on more finalized features? As startups, we are trying to figure out what's the best thing to build as quickly as possible. That's why early products are not meant to be perfect… we are in constant experimentation! In this episode we talk about Lean Startup, the scientific approach proposed by Eric Ries in his book: “The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses” We explain why Startups need a specific approach to creating products. We give an introduction to the Lean Canvas and we cover in detail the Build - Measure - Learn loop: How we reduce waste by avoiding building the wrong thing How we set up experiments that will help us validate or invalidate our hypothesis How we define success and failure metrics for our experiments How we learn based on the changes in customer behaviour that we see from our experiments _____________________ If you like what we do you can buy us coffee

How are you doing today? Can you believe it? We're nearly at the end of Season 1 of the Agile Innovation Leaders podcast and this is our 9th episode. A massive thank you and shout out to all of you who have taken the time to listen, support, to write, to encourage… I am very, very grateful. It never ceases to amaze me that you guys are listening from all over the world; from places and countries like New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, India, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, France, South Africa, Canada, USA, Brazil, Switzerland, Norway… of course United Kingdom where we live and many other places where I've not mentioned. I do appreciate the engagement – thank you so much. Keep it coming and keep getting in touch. Now, in the course of launching the podcast, I've also had a number of you get in touch with me to say, ‘Hey, we really are interested in this ‘Agile' thing. How can we learn more about it? How do we get started?' And for some of you, you've had some sort of Agile initiatives going on in your organization and you don't know how you can make this better, make it work because it's not working as well as it should. Well, if you fall into any of these categories, today's episode is for you. I'm pleased to introduce my guest. He is nobody else other than Raymond Chike. A seasoned Agile Innovation professional with over 15 years of diversified experience in multiple sectors – Financial, Retail, Utilities, Energy, Consulting and Charity. And he is a big proponent of design thinking and basically blending agile, lean start up thinking, UX design and design thinking to provide a rounded and human-centered way of working. You just have to listen to this episode! So without further ado, my conversation with Raymond. Enjoy! Ula: 03:04 Raymond, thanks for making the time for this conversation. It's great to have you on the show. Raymond: 03:09 You're welcome. I'm excited as well Ula: 03:11 Great. Now let's kick off. We want to know who Raymond is as an individual. Can you tell us a bit about yourself, and how your life experience has led you to choosing a career as an agile professional? Raymond: 03:25 My story is one of those I'm passionate about telling people. So, I'm a native of Nigeria, back in Africa. And I think the whole journey started off as me looking at the whole world in perspective. And I thought to myself, I want to see how things get done in the Western world – United Kingdom and America and all that. That led me to journey into the UK. So, on coming here, I found my first contract was more of an IT security administrators service contract or something like that. And along the line, I started noticing that I was good at connecting the business and the technology. Little did I know that that was what business analysis was. Then, business analysis became popular, but already I'd found out I was naturally a Business Analyst. But then I thought, ‘Okay, let's go on that journey.' And while in the journey of a Business Analyst, I started realizing that things took too long to happen. So, people are building (a) project and before the project finishes, in two years, the world has moved on. And I said, what is the best way of doing things quicker. I mean, that was where agile started coming up in my mentality. Then I thought, ‘Alright, I think I've got an agile mindset as well.' So, I think I'll take a perspective from a natural point. So, professionally, that's how I found my way/ journey into the Agile world. I live in the UK, permanently now for 14 years, 15 years or so. I've got (a) family, as well. So, my primary location is around Southwest of Cheltenham, but most of my consultancy has been around London, and I travel around anyway. I think. Yeah, that's me in a nutshell, and that's my passion. And, then yeah. Ula: 05:11 That's quite an interesting story. It's funny, because we all start off one way, but the thing about us as humans is that there are things about yourself, you know, your natural inclinations or giftings, or things you're really good at, you wouldn't know until you actually get started. So, it's interesting you recognised the knack (i.e. abilities) and probably people around you also recognise the knack whilst working as an IT Security Specialist, that you also had the ability to connect business with technology. Just out of curiosity, what was your educational background? Raymond: 05:46 Yeah, I graduated with a first degree in Electrical/ Electronics Engineering. Ula: 05:50 Oh, okay. Raymond: 05:51 And… yeah, that is me really. I haven't furthered anyway in terms of educational academia. I've surrounded myself with lots of training and certifications… I've gone, I mean… I don't know if I have enough time to start to name them. But, that's my educational background anyway. Ula: 06:11 I mean, education is not necessarily having more degrees or as many degrees as a thermometer. I'm also Nigerian and I also got my first degree - funnily also in Electronic Engineering. Raymond: 06: 21 Really? Ula: 06:22 Yeah, yeah. Raymond: 06:23 What a coincidence! Ula: 06:26 From your profile, I can see that you are quite big on marrying agile thinking with lean, UX design and design thinking. I'm a big fan of that, because it's really about focusing on what value you're bringing to the customer, whether it's internal or external, and ruthlessly eliminating anything that the customer does not value and is not willing to pay for. So, what are your thoughts on marrying design thinking with lean methodologies? Raymond: 06:56 My thoughts are certain in the sense that it must be married. Looking at the world we live in now, (we're) in an adaptive world. I think the most important service to me is customer service. At the heart of every product, at the heart of everything we do, if we can't link it to customer service, then we just building what we think we like, yeah? And before you can build something for a customer, I always look at it in this perspective, you have to design that thing, you have to then build it, and you have to engage with the people to use the product. And that's the heart of Human Centered Design, or rather you can call it Customer Centric way of doing something. So, that is me thinking about how you bring together the human perspective, and link it with the digital and the physical interaction. Now, this is where you need to combine a whole lot of techniques and thinking and I always say it this way, ‘Agile is not a way of working, agile is a way of thinking than the way working.' Because your behavior modification cannot change if your mind is not transformed. So, at the center and the heart of agile, is the thinking. The same applies to design; at the center and heart of design is thinking - Design Thinking, Agile Thinking. So, call it this way: Design Thinking, Lean Thinking, and Agile Thinking. And to marry them is - Design Thinking makes you get to the heart of the customer. Like, ‘What is the problem you're about to solve? What is the pain point? Empathy. What is this? Why are we doing this thing? What is the problem? The pain point; you empathise with the customer. Now, at that point of empathy - this is where you begin to think about Lean. Where Lean thinks, ‘All right, I think I've empathised (with) this problem and I understand this thing – I feel I understand it.' Then, what's the barest minimum I can test to see it's working? This is where Lean Thinking comes in, right? So, then when you use the Lean Thinking and it works or you get good feedback (you say), ‘Okay, okay. I think we now see a way this is gonna work.'  ‘Okay, let's produce it in some sort of scale now and still get feedback and learn.' This is where you now bring in the principles on Agile, like the Scrum, and the Kanban, or the Extreme Programming, or SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework). Then you now want to say, ‘Okay, this thing is getting bigger now; we're about to blow up now', so you want to scale. You scale the product, you engage with the people, then you might… So this is the journey of a product from its inception of human-centric pain point up to the development, and this is how I marry Design Thinking, Lean Thinking and Agile Thinking. Ula: 09:41 Wow, (I've) never really heard it put this way. But it does make sense and I do agree. So, would you say that Design Thinking is the same thing as User Experience design? Raymond: 09:51 It's an interesting conversation but it's not the same. But what I usually say - Design Thinking is a big umbrella. Like, you'd say, Agile thinking. So if you… Like, what you've asked me now is like, ‘Is Agile thinking the same as Scrum Master?' It's like, ‘Oh no, Scrum Master sits under Agile.' That's the same question. Design Thinking involves a lot of skills. Ula: 10:16 Yes Raymond: 10:17 Now, it depends on the way you want to go with it. If you want to do a short design… bear in mind it's a (way of) thinking. Ula: 10:23 Yeah Raymond: 10:23 If you now want to bring it to reality, in terms of skill you might want to map it to, say, a researcher can be involved. A researcher... Now does that mean you cannot be a researcher? You can be (one) but in a professional office, maybe there's a (dedicated) researcher. Okay, UX design - alright, what makes you think you're not a UX designer? Okay, I want to develop an app. I can just sketch something on paper with a wireframe and I've got some understanding of UX concepts. Now, that's my minimum viable (product). Maybe I need a professional UX designer to a prototype for me. Okay, then you need a UX (designer) it might be - depends on the product. If my product is around…  (say,) building a bottle, I don't need a UX designer for a bottle. I might just go get a fabricator to make a bottle, you see what I mean? So regardless of the product, the principles stand. But when you talk about the product you want to do maybe a web design, then the skill set comes into play. That is why the UX design now is a skill. Yeah, that's a connection. So, it's like Agile - is Agile the same as… product owner? No, within agile umbrella, we might need a product owner, we will need a scrum master. Okay, maybe we don't need an engineer really. Okay, okay. While you're developing an agile product, what if the product is a pharmaceutical product? Do you need a developer? No, you need the scientist. So, you see the point. So, the takeaway, because when we talk about Lean agile, people just focus straight ‘Oh! (We're building a) website, app?' Ula: 11:49 Software development… Raymond: 11:50 But… it's not about websites. It's not about apps, not about it. What if it is a pharmaceutical company developing a prosthetic leg or pharmaceutical company developing a fake eyeball, what do you say then, you know? So, I try to get people away from products first, think about the human-centric way of connecting digital and physical interaction, then I think everything will fit into place. Ula: 12:15 It's interesting how you've highlighted the fact that there are general principles underpinning Agile thinking or Design thinking and the principles are separate from the products. Now the products could vary, the principles remain pretty much the same. But now depends on the context - which you can now adapt it (the principles) to the context of the product or service probably that you're providing to the end user or the customer. Am I right? Raymond: 12:44 That's right, well-articulated. Ula: 12:47 Okay, well, thanks. That's interesting. You said that there is this misconception that agile is about the things people do. Now, based on what you're saying that agile is first a mindset so and the International Consortium for Agile, or the ICAgile organization, they said on their website, it's about first being agile, before you do agile. Raymond: 13:11 That's right. Ula: 13:12 So, what would you say are the steps then, towards being agile and when would you know that you are truly agile from a ‘being' standpoint? Raymond: 13:24 Okay, I think the best way to say (it is) this way: there is nobody that's 100% agile. Ula: 13:30 Hmm! Interesting. Yeah. Raymond: 15:31 Definitely, nobody, nobody. Because why I say that is, if you are 100% agile, it's like… if you say yes, I am 100% agile, it does not marry up with the name agile itself, because agile itself means changing. So, you say you're 100% changing. So, I am 100% changing, so you're still changing. So, what agile, what I try to say about agile is (it's) about how we're learning that's Agile. So, (it) automatically tells you, you are constantly learning. So, have you learnt? No, you are constantly learning. So, the thing at the core of Agile is a mindset, your mind has to be ready. That's the height of it is your mindset knows that things must change. The principles and the values lie within and the practices follow and the tools and processes that help it. So, but you need to get at the heart of it that it… So basically, the world, is ruled by companies who learn faster. That's it. So, how are you learning faster? That's why agile comes in. So, are you… if Facebook comes tomorrow and said, ‘We are now agile; we are the best agile (practitioners)', that's wrong, because they're still going to have challenges that come up tomorrow that they'd have to think and say, ‘Guys, what's the next solution here?' Ula: 14:46 True Raymond: 14:46 This is where I feel agile is just, agile in itself is even a part of a product. As I've just explained Lean, design thinking, lean and agile… all that stuff. So, it's a complete mindset shift. But we there yet? We're not always going to be there in terms of 100%. But we are on a journey. Ula: 15:06 Yeah Raymond: 15:06 So, we're on a journey… we're not definitely going to be ‘there'. So, to answer your question, I don't think anybody's 100% agile. But I guess the thing is, to what degree of Agile are you? To what degree of learning or what degree of flexibility? What degree do you apply the principles better? I think that's the key message. And I mean, the only way to answer that is more of your outcomes, really? So, when you check into your outcomes, you know if you are really, truly agile and how responsive you are to the market and how adaptive you are. Ula: 15:41 Well put. So you said, yes, no one is 100% agile. You're constantly learning and that's probably why agile and lean - they're complimentary because lean is also about continuous improvements and focusing on improving processes to achieve certain goals. What would you say about the frameworks then? Is it possible to purely apply one framework in an organization's operating context, to the exclusion of others? Raymond: 16:13 Great question. I think you will do yourself a favor to mix them up. I always tell people this … if you study Scrum, the next thing… they (people in organisations) call me and say, ‘I'm doing Scrum', (and the person) goes on saying ‘I'm writing user stories.' And I say, ‘Okay, but I'm sorry, user story is Extreme Programming. So, you're already mixing it up, right? Then you get people who are doing Scrum. Then they go, ‘Oh, our Jira board is a Scrumban board.' So, what's that about? Ula: 16:41 It's a Kanban board… yeah… Raymond: 16:42 So, what I tell people is this: I'm not dogmatic about any (framework). If you bring any framework tomorrow and call it… ‘Jump' … whatever you want to call it. My question to you (would be), ‘Is it solving human problems? Are we inspecting and adapting faster? Is it prioritizing collaboration over ‘blah'…? Is it prioritizing responding to change over following a plan? Is it tied to the principle?' (If the answer is) ‘Yes', that's it! I don't want to know what else you call the name. I mean, I was in a conference the other day and I said to someone, ‘Look, let's be honest.' (If) she goes to Facebook now, (and) I go to Netflix (and) ask them what (agile framework/ methodology) they're following, they probably would not tell you anything. Probably tell you, ‘I don't know what's Scrum - we just inspect and adapt quickly. We just learn fast. We have a system that helps us learn fast.' That's it. No one is gonna tell you, ‘Do three weeks sprint, do four weeks sprint… do one thing or the other…' It depends on the product. Depends on the product. Some people do one-week sprint. Some companies do one-week sprint, two weeks sprint, three weeks sprint. Some pharmaceutical companies do one-week experimentation. I've seen companies do design sprint zero, then go on and do one-week sprint. The thing is, where are you learning fast? How are you learning fast? And agile is just (a means to) the end game; it's the building of the product. Remember, I said design thinking? Where is the place (for empathy in Agile)? …No agile principle talks about empathy. Nothing like that. Ula: 18:05 No Raymond: 18:06 They (some agile frameworks) just tell you, ‘Sprint planning - boom, boom, boom, go!' But, how do I know the product to build? I mean, this was what inspired me to (write) my last post where I said… I did post something on LinkedIn the other day. (That's one of) the key things that I was trying to say to the team. I read that from a book called The Startup Way by Eric Ries. This is the same guy who … Eric Ries is The Lean Startup guy. So, here is Toyota (for example). Toyota known for all the things they do around production and lean and all that stuff. But yet someone in Toyota could say he thinks there's a missing part. And that is because they are good at creating things. But they don't have a system that tells them on (how to) discover what to produce. Scrum does not help you discover what to produce, you know… Kanban does not help you discover what to produce. They just help you produce but they don't help you discover. So, this is why I say, I'm not precious about any framework, as long as that framework can help me easily inspect and adapt. That is my key (requirement)… and it's transparent. That's my own, I don't really cherish… I'm not gonna say I'm a SAFe man (or it) must be SAFe. (Nor would I say) it must be Scrum, or it must be Kanban. But then, does it mean I haven't gone on training for all of them? I have – I'm not hung up on frameworks. (I've gone on training for every one of them) because I want to know what I'm talking about. I want to learn because I'm also an aggressive learner. So, I want to know what you're talking about. But then I always ask myself the question, what is the “why” you're doing this? Why are you doing it? If it connects with (the agile) principles – yes. If it doesn't… hmmm… I'll pick and choose what I want from it and throw the rest away. As simple as that. That's my view on all frameworks, really. Ula: 19:48 Makes perfect sense, actually. Raymond: 19:51 You don't want to be hung up around frameworks really. Going into this conversation the other day, someone talked about (the) product owner (role) and I said, ‘Listen, I've done a Product Owner course for Scrum. And that is not up to 2% of what it takes to be a Product Manager.' It's not! If you think you've done a Scrum course, on product ownership, and you think you are now a product owner? I'm sorry, it's not (the case). Because the Product Management (responsibility) is a big piece - from design, to engagement, to development. So, there you have several of those sideline courses, you have to go to; to understand the market, to understand the proposition, to understand business model presentation, Lean Canvas…, then, you know what I mean? Where goes all the certifications and frameworks again? It's all about just learning. Just see it all as learning; adding that to your toolbox. You know, focus on the human-centric problem you want to solve. Ula: 20:44 I quite resonate with what you said. As in likening these frameworks, the concepts - to look at them as tools in a toolbox. You pick the one that most appropriately suits the work and the organization you are in - in my opinion. I'd like to know what you think about this. But I also think it is possible that a team, an organization you know, or even within a project, it could evolve in such a way that the tools that you're using… or the practices and the tools and processes that you're using to try to accomplish an outcome might need to change midway. So, it doesn't necessarily mean that what you start with is what you end with at the end of the project. What do you think about that? Raymond: 21:30 Yes, I mean, it is. I've worked with several big companies trying to do agile or are doing agile. I've seen it. I've got the scars on my back. I know what I'm am saying. It's very painful when you see people who want to fix it (an ill-fitting framework) into their hole. I say to them, ‘You have to be pragmatic.' Like this consultant… I don't remember his name again. But he said, ‘Agile has a way of making people drop their smart brains at home and come to work.'  If you come to work, (that) you do agile doesn't mean you're not smart - you're smart. Just know that you're smart. Look around the process, see how it's going to work well for you. If it's not working, find another way it's going to work. Remember, the principles still apply. Keep the principles at your forefront. We're talking real stuff here, yeah? So how do we make Kanban work for us? How do we make Scrum work for us? Okay, yes. Okay. How do we draw funds, investment? Because we need seed funding to do this experiment and prove to our manager it works. Okay, you want to start up something now? You're starting small? You're (i.e. Ula is, for example) not going out now opening an office and buying a podcast device of 10 grand or 20 grands? You're being lean here; trying to make sure you're experimenting here, right? Ula: 22:39 Exactly, you have to know if someone wants… Raymond: 22:41 You (Ula) are applying the same principles. You've got the mindset; you've got the mindset. That why you're doing what you're doing right now. And it's the same principle applied at a scale. Ula: 22:49 Thanks! You mentioned something that you've had scars on your back as a contractor working with teams and organizations. Is there any one you wish to share? Raymond: 22:58 I think for me, the behavior is the same. What I can say is, every company wants to be agile; that's the market drive - just get that right. Every company wants to be agile. In fact, you can almost sell anything to any company now in the name of Agile. Ula: 23:12 It's a buzzword, right? Raymond: 23:14 Yes. But then I always say this, ‘If I get in there, how can I add value to you?' So, you get in there, you stumble on arguments. Now one coach prefers SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), another Coach tell you Scrum, another coach tells you Kanban is the way. Then I always challenge them by saying… When I come in with design thinking mentality, they look at me like, ‘where does this guy come from? Who are you? We are agile.' I say, ‘yes, but how do you draw funds from the manager to tell him you're agile?' They'll say ‘Hmm! That is a Product Manager's responsibility.' I say, ‘Oh really? I thought that's still under Agile, because a  Scrum Product Owner course teaches them (i.e. the Product Managers) how to draw money? Is it a “no”? Okay'. You see, when you find that a… That's what you see in companies. I think what we need to start to understand is…  I tell people, ‘Guide yourself with mentors', experience is key as well, you know. My experience, tells me that many companies are still on the journey, and I said agile is a journey. My gauge tells me every company now knows: there's no argument we have to be agile. So, we've crossed that stage. They know that we have to be adaptive. They know that now. The challenge many companies are facing now is, ‘How?' They now know, but it's the ‘how' now. (My) advice is, based on my experience, there is no pattern. All I can say is, as long as you have these three pillars in the mindset of what you do; the design thinking, lean thinking, agile thinking… I always wrap it up by saying (you must have) almost an entrepreneurial mindset as well. Ula: 24:46 Oh yeah. Raymond: 24:47 That will help. A bit of that will very, very help (i.e. help very much). The reason why I say entrepreneurial mindset is because then you're thinking differently. You are not there sitting down in a company waiting for your salary every month and just go home. You're inspired to say, ‘What problem are we solving? What customer problem are we solving out there? How can we be fruitful?' Now you're thinking entrepreneurial. I think that drive will start to send a different message to company structures; you start inspire people to work, in fact inspire people for new products. And because people love working agile, when you put agile in any office, (for example) Kanban, people love it. Why? Because it is liberating. Ula: 25:27 It is. The transparency... Raymond: 25:28 It has that way of making… The transparency! People love it. That's the key to (the) successful companies we see these days everywhere. We don't know how they succeed. But this is the principle they've been applying years ago when it was not branded anything. Now is becoming branded, whatever we call it now. Ula: 25:44 Yeah, I mean, it's interesting… Yeah… it helps to put a name to something but it's more about not enshrining it and kind of stifling the spirit of what that thing is meant to mean (therefore) losing the value. Raymond: 26:00 Yeah, I agree with you 100%. Ula: 26:02 Now, you mentioned the book, The Startup Way and I assume that you might have read some other books. If you were to gift or recommend, say two or three more books that have greatly shaped your thinking; your agile, lean, design thinking - which ones would you recommend? Raymond: 26:21 Wow, there are key ones, I think, if you want to be different. If you want to be ‘agile- different', like I mean, set yourself apart. You need to have a hold of this set of books, you know. I would say go for The Startup Way (by Eric Ries), Lean Startup (book by Eric Ries), Lean UX, Impact Mapping by Gojko, User Story Mapping by Jeff Patton. These would get you started. Ula: 26:47 Okay Raymond: 26:48 These are books I've seen that stood the test of time when it comes to this whole ‘game' of Agile. You, kind of… They will set you apart in your Agile thinking. Someone is going to be like, ‘You just became holy again in agile.' I'm telling you. With every page you read in this book, you'll probably read them again and again and you'll be wondering, ‘Where have I been in this world?' Ula: 27:11 Kind of reminds me, there are some books that I have read yet across different disciplines - although I tend to read more of business and self-improvement books. And there are some that are out there, which I'dd read quickly and I'll make a mental note to read them again at a slower pace. However, I also have a lot queued up. Raymond: 27:31 I have so many books but I buy physical books. Ula: 27:33 Yeah Raymond: 27:34 The kind of books I buy are around technology, innovation, entrepreneur… Ula: 27:38 So, there might be other professionals out there or people who want to make a headway into the lean, agile world as consultants or contractors. Now you said you came from Nigeria to the UK, so how did you get your first agile related role? Raymond: 28:00 Yeah, I think it's more of the experience first - in the four walls of the company, that's it I mean, there are two levels I call it like I do some private coaching and training for people who want to get into like a fundamental business analyst role. Then maybe progress to an agile role. But I would say, most of these things... As I said, the first thing is the mind. I always say this, it's difficult to teach you agile, (if) you don't understand Agile, it's difficult. So, I think what I tend to do is… there is a level of experience I hope you'd have experienced in the four walls of a company, deep problems. Then you can do some training or in most cases, enlightening yourself with some of these books. Read them, be sure you understand what they're saying. I always say understand why people use Agile. Don't understand Agile. Just understand why and relate it to your real world. Bring it home. Always bring it home because… How we bring it home? I tell people, look at the things you use from day to day. When you started using WhatsApp, it's not what it is now. WhatsApp started with just a message. There was no video, there was no record, there was no that whole thing. So, there were messages then later. This is agile. They were changing things, giving people what they want, changing it again, adding this, moving the colors. Now, connect Agile to your daily world. Then when you get to the company, it just starts to make sense. Because the companies you might get into, they are also as confused as you think you are. So, I guess the most important thing is passion. Get that passion in your mind. If you are agile, it would come out of your mind(set) and the way you talk, people will now know it's agile. But if you don't have it in your mind, as a project you (need to) change your mind(set). I always teach people this. Look at your life as well. You want to look for a house or a project you want to work on or you want to buy a new car. You thought you wanted to buy a Volvo. Suddenly, as you started going (car shopping), you find out that you don't like a Volvo. You decided to change it (the desired car) into Mercedes, why? Your requirements are changing even as a human - you haven't even gone a month and you've changed three decisions already. So, that is the adaptive behavior the world is (aiming) at. The system can manage it. What technique will manage this changing requirement every day, yet give the business (its desired) business outcomes, give customer, customer satisfaction. This is… my coaching to people is always (to) connect it with your day-to-day life first - make sense (of it). Then every other thing people are talking about can be reality now. Then, you can do the training, you can do the coaching, you can do the workshops, and they all begin to join dots together. I do workshops as well but then that's more… my training and workshops are more experiential. I bring case studies into the room and by time you go out, you understand what it means. Yeah, that's the way I look at it, really. Ula: 31:04 So, are these workshops public? Raymond: 31:06 At the moment, the organisations I consult with – I run them with them. But then I do them public, but that is once in a while. My plan this year is to have some public sessions, but I haven't put them in the calendar yet. I'm still trying to work out what customers want. I'm still going through a design thinking phase around it because I feel I don't want to just produce what I like; I want to see what people really want. And see where I can do something barest minimum that can help satisfy the need. So, say I'm at that stage where I'm a bit lean about it as well. But then I'm also willing to do anything on demand. If there's a certain group of people that come together and say, ‘I want to learn this thing. We're 10 of us, we are 20.' I do things like that sometimes. I did one in Cardiff last year (2018). A group of people came together - 12 of them - said they wanted to understand Business Analysis, how it links to agile and all that stuff. So, I did a bespoke material for them and I went and delivered it for a full one day. So, things like that I can do as well. But as I said, there is no one public (course) at the moment . Ula: 32:14 Okay, fantastic. Once you have finalized your calendar for some public training or workshop events, where would be the best place for (finding) this info? Raymond: 32:25 I think professionally, the best way to get me is LinkedIn. Ula: 32:27 Okay Raymond: 32:29 So, Raymond Chike, LinkedIn, that's the best way to get me professionally. Ula: 32:34 I'll put your LinkedIn profile URL in the shownotes. Raymond: 32:38 Yes. I have a meetup group in Gloucestershire called the Design Thinking Squad.   Ula: 32:43 Okay. Do you have a URL for that? Is it on Meetup? Raymond: 32:47 It's on meetup as well as, a group called Design Thinking Squad Gloucestershire. We did a Design Thinking Crash Course which is only about  2-3 hours. If I get a demand for it, I will arrange something. Ula: 32:59 So, anyone who's interested who probably is listening to this episode that wants to get in touch with you, the best would be your LinkedIn (profile). Okay. Wow, the time does fly when you're having fun. I've enjoyed the conversation. Raymond. Thank you so, so much for making the time. Raymond: 33:17 You are welcome. Ula: 33:18 Do you have any last word for the audience, before we wrap up? Raymond: 44:45 Yeah, I've enjoyed this conversation. Thank you as well for making this happen. I know it's been busy for me to really get the time around it but finally we made it work. We have been very adaptive and true to the nature of agile. I'd say to the listeners out there, keep your dreams alive. And… there's always a way around everything. Keep in touch. And, as I always say, the future belongs to those who learn faster. Ula: 33:54 Thanks a lot Raymond. Raymond: 33:56 Thank you so much.

Check out this audio from a breakdown of the Lean Canvas (Video Here). I wanted to break down this really useful tool for entrepreneurs of all stages. Everybody has ideas, right? Well I'm often asked, "How should I get started???" I always recommend that entrepreneurs and aspiring founders begin outlining and testing their ideas with the Lean Canvas. It's a really useful tool for helping you break down your key assumptions before investing time and resources into developing your idea.

Okay, here's the thing. Now that you've gotten a great idea (I KNOW you have one) it is time to start planning how you are going to make that idea happen. It is easy to just let the ideas wash over you and go about your day thinking "Yeah, if I tried, I would be GREAT at this" but then do NOTHING. Instead, you gotta get out and MAKE. IT. HAPPEN. This episode is all about how you can do that, from figuring out WHY you're doing it to WHO you're helping and HOW you're going to do it.

This is a rerun episode so a re-release of the episode with Joe Justice of WIKISPEED and Scrum Inc. Why a rerun? There are a few reasons for it and I brought up some during the last episode. One of the reasons, as mentioned, has to do with slowing down at the beginning of the year. Another reason is that this episode was in the top 5 most downloaded episodes in 2017. It had a major impact on me as well since after my conversation with Joe I embraced agile to the fullest: I use it both in my professional and personal life. This re-release emphasizes the importance of this topic. Execution is extremely important for startups and agile is one of the best or the best method I know for project management, and for hardware its application is spreading faster and faster. As for Joe he is the President of Scrum @ Hardware at Scrum Inc, the company which is led by the initiator of scum, Jeff Sutherland. Enjoy this very inspiring, information-dense episode. In this episode we elaborate on the topic of scrum.
