Shenzhen & The NT: What might tech driven connections look like?
20 Jul - 12:00 PM
Darwin City, Australia
After four years @ 4/90 Woods St City Rust490 is moving at the end of July, perchance to be reborn elsewhere in Darwin’s fringe CBD. There’s no better way to draw a line in the sand than to share with you some preoccupations arising through Rust490’s journey.
Here is the last of 3 one hour workshops across Thurs 19/7 & Friday 20/7. This is from Rust490's Hacks Series - What if we could...? Ways we might achieve something. For detailed info on all 3 workshops see Rust490 news&events
At Rust490 we’ve been pondering what Shenzhen and Darwin might have in common.
What might tech driven opportunities look like between the extraordinary China region on Hong Kong’s doorstep and the differently extraordinary Northern Territory?
What interests might align?
So let’s open the conversation out. A mini hackathon to start the ball rolling
On the extraordinary Schenzhen side, here's a selection of links to kickstart your thinking:

The Lean Business Canvas and You: Is there a “best” way?
19 Jul - 05:15 PM
Darwin City, Australia
After four years @ 4/90 Woods St City Rust490 is moving at the end of July, perchance to be reborn elsewhere in Darwin’s fringe CBD. There’s no better way to draw a line in the sand than to share with you some preoccupations arising through Rust490’s journey.
Here is the second of 3 one hour workshops across Thurs 19/7 & Friday 20/7. This one is from Rust490's Methods Series - How do we DO stuff? For detailed info on all 3 workshops see Rust490 news&events
Everyone everywhere seems to work with the Lean Business Canvas! 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.
