Copyright ©2014 Venture for All® - All Rights Reserved Venture for Lean Product Innovation™ Our Venture for Lean Product Innovation™ program provides participants with an intensive, “hands-on” course focusing on the creation, evaluation, and early development of new innovative products/services. For each new product/service, key issues are addressed in a fashion highly consistent with lean product development methodologies including: minimal viable product design, visual model embodiment, feasibility assessment, early prototype development, resource and cost analysis, and go-to-market strategies. Throughout the class students refine their product/service’s hypothesized realization model based on instructor, peer, customer, and experts’ feedback. Who Should Attend This is an open-enrollment program designed for individuals interested in creating new innovative products/services as part of a venture. Participants enter the session with preliminary ideas about the products/services that they would like to work on during the program and then work in teams with similar requirements to create a functioning prototype. Program Benefits At the highest level, you will come away with clear answers to the following questions: What are the issues, tensions, and relationships faced by entrepreneurs as they build a new product/service? What are common challenges found in creating new products and services? What are the key components that are required to realize the product/service? How do you model an early prototype that can effectively communicate the innovation potential to the customer? What is the most agile and lean strategy to develop new products and services? How do you come up a fairly accurate cost estimate to build the product/service based on reasonable, benchmarked assumptions? What metrics are critical to measure and monitor new products/services success? What are the skill sets, resources and team structure for successful launch and early stage growth? Program Content The program uses a proprietary sequence of modules and tools to support the development of your new product/service. You will learn how to use tools required to design and give form to your product/service, from ideation to launch preparedness. Specific skill development and issues covered include: Design Thinking – Understanding the core concepts of form and function, proportion, materiality and more Idea Conceptualization – Creating a visual representation that conveys the product/service idea in a concise manner Model Design – Using appropriate tools to convert the idea concept into an implementable model Computer Aided Prototype Creation - Practice prototype design emphasizing the use of computer-supported tools in the design process. Realization Strategies – Identifying what should be included in the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), creating an implementation path for the fully functional product/service Key Partners- Understanding your industry ecosystem to facilitate appropriate relationships with manufacturers and suppliers Profit Models- Identifying the costs required to build your product and accurately project costs of goods sold Product Team Management- Selecting team members with the right mix of knowledge and skills

Venture for Lean Product Innovation™ Our Venture for Lean Product Innovation™ program provides participants with an intensive, “hands-on” course focusing on the creation, evaluation, and early development of new innovative products/services. For each new product/service, key issues are addressed in a fashion highly consistent with lean product development methodologies including: minimal viable product design, visual model embodiment, feasibility assessment, early prototype development, resource and cost analysis, and go-to-market strategies. Throughout the class students refine their product/service’s hypothesized realization model based on instructor, peer, customer, and experts’ feedback.

                                                               

Who Should Attend This is an open-enrollment program designed for individuals interested in creating new innovative products/services as part of a venture. Participants enter the session with preliminary ideas about the products/services that they would like to work on during the program and then work in teams with similar requirements to create a functioning prototype.

Program Benefits At the highest level, you will come away with clear answers to the following questions: • What are the issues, tensions, and relationships

faced by entrepreneurs as they build a new product/service?

• What are common challenges found in creating new products and services?

• What are the key components that are required to realize the product/service?

• How do you model an early prototype that can effectively communicate the innovation potential to the customer?

• What is the most agile and lean strategy to develop new products and services?

• How do you come up a fairly accurate cost estimate to build the product/service based on reasonable, benchmarked assumptions?

• What metrics are critical to measure and monitor new products/services success?

• What are the skill sets, resources and team structure for successful launch and early stage growth?

Program Content The program uses a proprietary sequence of modules and tools to support the development of your new product/service. You will learn how to use tools required to design and give form to your product/service, from ideation to launch preparedness. Specific skill development and issues covered include: • Design Thinking – Understanding the core

concepts of form and function, proportion, materiality and more

• Idea Conceptualization – Creating a visual representation that conveys the product/service idea in a concise manner

• Model Design – Using appropriate tools to convert the idea concept into an implementable model

• Computer Aided Prototype Creation - Practice prototype design emphasizing the use of computer-supported tools in the design process.

• Realization Strategies – Identifying what should be included in the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), creating an implementation path for the fully functional product/service

• Key Partners- Understanding your industry ecosystem to facilitate appropriate relationships with manufacturers and suppliers

• Profit Models- Identifying the costs required to build your product and accurately project costs of goods sold

• Product Team Management- Selecting team members with the right mix of knowledge and skills
