Lean Change: a Process & 3 Principles

Process = Customer Development

Principles: 1. Productive Failure

2. Agile Development

3. Efficiency

Page 5: Running a Lean Startup for Social Good, Michel Gelobter, Lean Change

”Customers” and Development

• The “Customer” in the Social Sector not the Payer

• 3 Customer Types:– Direct– Indirect– Funder

Productive Failure…

• Wait…Failure often NOT an option in the social sector: the Problem isn’t going anywhere

• Paradox: Failing fast is even more important because:– Donor Regrets (a.k.a. moral opportunity costs)– Limited Social and Political Capital

• When you expose a flawed assumption of a faulty aspect of your strategy, it must not be considered failure
