Have you discovered a fit for you yet? Is there a “best” method or way to explore finding value? Rust490 has researched, inquired and explored Lean Business Canvas options over the years. So many versions generated by different thinkers and vendors in an agile and customer centred world. Rust490’s worked practically with the Lean Business Canvas in the Darwin Techstars Start-up Weekend, in the one day IdeasFests hackathons, with Melbourne Business School in the 2017 Australia Post Regional Pitchfest, Applied LBC models with individuals exploring emerging business propositions. And used the Lean Business Canvas internally for evolving business models- frustrating, rewarding, and challenging. Q: Why does Rust490 use a Lean Business Canvas?A: Because it helps qualify an idea FAST, iteratively creating and evolving business model cases. It forces finding the essence of value. Or not. Its clever. And it’s on ONE PAGE – an awesome feat. Q: Is there be a “best” way to get oriented to a Lean Business Canvas fast, and to start applying it?A: Yes (maybe!) There’s a plethora of methods out there for “learning” how to use a LBC, whether face to face (for days at a stretch, or in more condensed workshops, or in “bootcamps” or hackathons), on line, or using a book (!) In this one hour workshop Rust490 introduces you to the Lean Business Canvas (s) we’ve found most directly useful. Easiest to engage with and to follow. With a rough guide to who is who in the in the LBC zoo and some practice tips. FAQs What can I bring into the event? Your open mind...
