The question is not whether a product can be built but whether it should be built. Companies can build things very efficiently that nobody wants. The build-measure-learn cycle involves turning ideas into products quickly, measuring how customers respond, and then learning whether or not to pivot or persevere. A minimum viable product only needs to include features necessary to learn what customers want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entrepreneurs need to be held accountable, but to a different set of metrics. Instead of having product milestones, innovators should have learning milestones. A measurable metric for learning is customer behavior. Product development focuses on improvement in customer retention instead of product sales. With learning milestones, companies give themselves a timeframe to meet a customer behavior baseline and choose whether or not to pivot.<\/p>\n","post_title":"A Competitive Edge for Corporations: The Lean Startup Method and Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"a-competitive-edge-for-corporations-the-lean-startup-method-and-innovation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/a-competitive-edge-for-corporations-the-lean-startup-method-and-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":750,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-05-04 00:03:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-05-04 07:03:00","post_content":"\n Partnering with Maritz Travel \u2013 A Maritz Global Events Company, Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley and Silicon Valley Innovation Center partner to provide exclusive access to top innovators in Silicon Valley<\/p>\n\n\n\n April 24, 2018<\/strong>, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, U.S.A.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maritz Travel<\/a>,\u00a0Four Seasons\u00a0Hotel Silicon Valley<\/a> and\u00a0Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a>\u00a0have partnered to organise a groundbreaking thought leadership summit in the heart of Silicon Valley.
