Start by thinking about the outcomes want to achieve, then devise experiments to move toward that outcome, and learn along the way. But it’s also a great way to reduce uncertainty-for example, what kind of CMS and tools to use, or how to experiment when building new processes. In the book, when we talk about new-product development, the lean-startup approach is a great way to discover what works when building new products. We wanted to capture the essence of the lean-startup principles, such as scientific thinking, and then apply that across an entire organization. Is that correct?īarry O’Reilly (BO): Yes, in part. Johannes Thönes (JT): Your book Lean Enterprise is, in essence, an extension of the lean-startup idea to big companies.

He further discusses the challenges for enterprises trying to do something similar and introduce the three-horizon model, to manage innovative, growing, and new products. He shares his experiment of an online wine seller using Twitter. O’Reilly talks about the idea of scientific experiments and the build-measure-learn loop popularized by the lean-startup method. A lean enterprise is a large organization that manages to keep innovating while keeping its existing products in the market.
