BUILDING OPERATIONS FOR A STARTUP - SHOW 13: STARTUPS AS EXPERIMENTS - THE MODEL - WILLIAM EASTMAN

28/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today's show, the last of our 13 part series, is using the concept of MVO to introduce what is really required to build a startup - constant experimentation to test assumptions, build quick and test ideas to get it right.
One way to define MVO is more than the Minimally Viable Offer it is a Minimally Viable Organization.

BUILDING OPERATIONS FOR A STARTUP - SHOW 12: BUILDING YOUR PROTOTYPE - WILLIAM EASTMAN

13/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today's show is about building your first version of the MVO (Minimally Viable Offer) for internal testing. This will require some compromises because it might not be a product or service you would use. However you need to test for 3 things: (1) Does It Work?, (2) How UX Is It?, (3) How Easy Was It To Build?.

​Let's get started.

BUILDING OPERATIONS FOR A STARTUP - SHOW 11: THE AGILEAN DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT PROCESS - WILLIAM EASTMAN

7/3/2022

Picture
 Last week we covered how to solicit, organize, and validate customer information. We also covered how to find willing partners for providing input during the process and a potential first sale. All of that begs the question - how to use the information and build your first offer - remember all startups are experiments.

BUILDING OPERATIONS FOR A STARTUP - SHOW 10: CREATING YOUR TESTING VARIABLES - PART 2 - WILLIAM EASTMAN

Picture
This the second part of the most important action you will take as a startup - getting your first offer right quickly. It must be a better match for the market, timed correctly, and as fast as possible without burning your startup capital. Once it is built and released - it has to be marketed and sold.

BUILDING OPERATIONS FOR A STARTUP - SHOW 9 (chapter NINE): CREATING YOUR TESTING VARIABLES - PART 1 - WILLIAM EASTMAN

21/2/2022

Today is Show 9 and we plunge into the depths of details. We are going to cover how the company's executive, you the owner, and the people building the new MVO need to interact with prospective customers.

This is a final validation of the offer characteristics and design specifications before starting the prototype. It will be build with feedback along the way so this isn't the only bite at the apple, just the second. You are testing all of the information assembled and validating your understanding is correct.

BUILDING OPERATIONS FOR A STARTUP - SHOW 7: TURNING THE PLAN INTO REALITY - WILLIAM EASTMAN

Today we pull together everything covered in Shows 1 through 6. The last Show we focused on building internal processes and now shift focus back on the customer and the offer.

This is the plan you need to build to ensure 3 things: (1) MVO, (2) customer offer match, (3) speed to market.

This entire process can be accomplished in months and sometimes weeks depending on the complexity of the initial offer

Show FIVE - WHAT TO BUILD AND WHEN TO BUILD IT - WILLIAM EASTMAN

24/1/2022

Picture
Last weeks Show Four, we covered your initial offer, your MVO. That was just to set up what you need to start the design process and lack the detailed process we will cover later in the Season.

What really starts the process is your analysis of the bigger issues, the market, and competitors.; and that is where we are today.

BUILDING OPERATIONS FOR A STARTUP - SHOW 2: WHAT DO OPERATIONS LOOK LIKE IN A STARTUP? WILLIAM EASTMAN

10/1/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Last week in Show 1 we covered the concept of the MVO or Minimally Viable Offer; what is the minimum we can build and sell as our first offer. The idea was to create a well researched but quick to market offer to initiate sales and gain customer usage to improve the offer. 

This week we are taking the same minimalist approach only instead of the offer, it is the processes required to build the offer and support systems to ensure the first sale is successful. ​
