Lean Startup In Large Organisations
1. Test Your Biggest Hypothesis First
2. Slice It Thinly
3. Timebox It
4. Fail Fast, Fail Often
5. Check The Data
6. Build Up Enough Momentum

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
PROBLEM

Teams don’t test often or early
enough, making it difficult to fix
problems later.

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
1. Test Your Biggest Hypothesis First
Fragmented travel services and platforms

Big Assumption:
Connecting useful ancillary services with
travellers via mobile can make money

Airline

Advertiser

Poor mobile engagement

Do it quickly:
Identify a big assumption
Keep it simple:
Create your MVP
Improve quickly:
Learn to improve of pivot

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
PROBLEM

Companies waste time creating
really complex features no one
wants.

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
2. Slice It Thinly
Mobile First

Deep Dive

Happy Path

Start small:
1 platform, 1 section or 1 holistic experience
Do what’s necessary:
Features that would break “it” if not there
Test quickly:
Lo-fi remote usability testing
me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
PROBLEM

Teams spend too much time
discussing ideas without
making any decisions.

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
3. Timebox It

OBJ
ECT
IVES

15
mins

Set meaningful objectives:
Decide what absolutely has to be discussed and why...
Have shorter meetings:
Start short and get another meeting if you need to rather than filling in time
Validate quickly:
Ask someone who matters = proof it works! (or doesn’t)
me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
PROBLEM

Many companies are still too
risk-averse: over-analysing &
making incremental changes
that don’t make a difference.

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
4. Fail Fast, Fail Often

Done

Recognise failure:
Don’t beat that dead horse
me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com

DESTINATIONS

Provide frequent updates:
Learn and test it again...and again

Home

Learn from failure:
Why didn’t it work before?
PROBLEM

Companies don’t monitor
customer usage closely enough
to see what’s really going on.

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
5. Check The Data
Have assumptions to test:
What’s the problem and what can fix it?
Monitor change over time:
Analyse and compare cohort behaviours
Don’t make things up:
The facts are the facts
Problem
• Usefulness of info
• Clarity of info
• Ease of finding info

Sky.com Super Nav
Assumptions
• Super nav drop down
• Quick tasks
• Simplified IA
Testing
• 3 Remote usability tests

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com
PROBLEM

Organisations launch
substandard products because
they have hard deadlines to meet.

me@eewei.com @ultraman 101DesignIngredients.com

Keep the fire burning:
MVP done? Now improve it!

Go small:
... but often and test and learn!
