![Page 6: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Doing the right thing…
• Costs – Money: £consultants, $analysts, €managers– Time: Analysis, research, meetings, discussions
• Assumptions– There is a right answer– And it is knowable– No value in wrong answer– That wrong & right are definable
![Page 7: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Exhibit B – Lean Start-Up
• Knowing is difficult• Get into the market to
find out• See what people will
$pay for– Not just what that €say
• Doing need not be expensive
![Page 8: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Exhibit C – Changing (Me!)
• Its about Learning• To Learn we must do• How can you increase
the pace of learning?
Learning
Change
![Page 9: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Exhibit D – He who learns fasters“We understand that the only
competitive advantage the
company of the future will have
is its managers’ ability to learn
faster than then their
competitors.”
Arie de Geus, The Living Company 1988

How do you learn fast?
• Do• How do you do?• Iterate– Iterate faster– Iterate more
• Learn• Learn to iterate faster, learn to aim better

Or is your choice more like….

Which are you?
Your delivery (supply) side?Your business (demand) side?
(Ever heard about the M16 delivery team coupled with a 19th century requirements process?)
![Page 15: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Choose your weapon
Snipers Rifle• Known target• Clear shot• Time to prepare• Limited variables
Machine Gun• Many targets• Confused environment• Time short – Action
required• Many variables• Frequently miss
![Page 16: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Choose your approach
Sniper development• Market is slow moving• Market it known• Competitors are slow• Capital is scarce• Development is expensive• Risk of collateral damage,
e.g. brand, individuals
Machine development• Market is fast• Market is changing• Competitors are fast• Capital is cheap• Development is cheap (and
fast)• Multiple failures, try again
![Page 17: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Or do tools dictate approach?
“It takes a long time to reload and aim”Therefore
“take time to make sure every shot counts”
![Page 18: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Or your competitors?

Iteration is the key
• Get good at iterating• Get good at iterating fast• Get good at learning from results– Test results with customer– Test output in the market
– And Evaluate
Close the loop – evaluate what you do & feedback
![Page 21: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Let a thousand flowers bloom…
Get good at selecting those to keep - Cull the rest
![Page 22: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Breaks are good
• Get good at….– Knowing when to stop– Stopping
• Technical has TDD, ATDD, BDD to stop• Corporate breaks– Portfolio management– Venture Capital funding model– Use a Dragon’s Den
![Page 23: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
You can’t see the future…
• You can’t know what will work• Stop wasting time and money guessing• Get good at probing – experimenting• Conduct a lot of experiments• Learn from experiments• Stop those which “don’t work”• Promote those which do
![Page 24: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Iterate at all levels
Regularly Evaluate -> Set/change directionFrequently Collect next -> Decide nextMost frequently Developer -> Release
• Build capability to iterate – and USE IT• Use data gained from iteration• Iterate your way to to The Right Thing
![Page 25: Do itright](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554fa323b4c9057b298b4a33/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Allan’s commandments
#1 Do it Right, Do it Fast; Learn & Iterate
#2 Fail fast, Fail Cheap; Evaluate, Learn
#3 Invest in breaks; Stop & Turn

Take-away
1. Fast iterations allow for learning– Learn to iterate fast– Then iterate in the market– Learn to evaluate & feedback
2. Fail fast, fail cheap, learn3. Invest in breaks
