Part 3 of 3, The Lean Enterprise Live Training Series

Writing a well-crafted business case may be key to securing funding, but it has little impact on whether your initiative succeeds or fails. A clear product strategy and knowing which initiatives to start, stop, or continue will serve you better in the long run, especially if your goal is creating a high performance organization.

Join Barry O'Reilly as he presents an alternative, evidence-based approach to making investments and managing and prioritizing your organization's projects and products. He'll show how using techniques such as customer discovery, hypothesis-driven development, and innovation accounting can minimize risk, inform your teams, and get the optimal return on your efforts.
