This January, we have a special edition of ProductTank SF with author
David Bland. We'll be dedicating a whole 50 minutes to his talk on
TESTING BUSINESS IDEAS. David has been a keynote speaker at the Mind
the Product conference in SAN FRANCISCO and we are excited to host him
at ProductTank SF.
---ABOUT THE TALK:
Testing Business Ideas
Last year David was approached by Alex Osterwalder to co-author a new
book about testing business ideas. They had both observed a gap
between sketching out an idea and finding practical ways to rapidly
test it. Building off of Business Model Generation, Lean Startup and
Value Proposition Design books, they decided to curate a list of
experiments for people who are stuck making progress on their idea.
They've identified three major themes from design thinking. The first,
desirability, describes whether or not people want the solution. The
second, viability, speaks to if you can create a sustainable business
with the solution. The third, feasibility, goes into the steps to run
the infrastructure. In this talk, David will give you a rare behind
the scenes look at how he tested the book content along the way by
using lean and agile principles.
