The Innovator's Method: Bringing the Lean Start-up into Your Organization

by Nathan Furr and Jeff Dyer

star4.4

Furr and Dyer synthesize lean startup, design thinking, and agile development into a four-step method (insight, problem, solution, business model) for manageing the deep uncertainty of new ventures inside established companies. They argue that traditional execution-focused management destroys innovation, and present tools for cheap experimentation that systematically lower failure rates.

Directly extends Dyer's own earlier Innovator's DNA (with Gregersen and Christensen), moving from how innovators think to how organisations should actually execute on those ideas

Grounds its argument in Christensen's Innovator's Dilemma, explaining why incumbents need a fundamentally different process for uncertain innovation than for execution of known business models
