The author couldn’t break away from the perils of Lean Startup success. This book might be, ideas well formed and organized but it lacked the passion and personal touch of that book. Nothing beats that feeling you get with Lean Startup like the author is actually living the experience where right or wrong turn may mean resetting and going back to the entry level job with nothing to show for the years of trying except “learning”. With this book, there is no sense of that - the author is merely go...
I liked this book, even tho I know it was not written for me or anyone that is familiar with “4 steps to epiphany” or “Lean Startup” or “Management 3.0” and have been working in the field for years. But this book works almost like a pep talk and a manual for entrepreneurs inside organizations trying to create change in their processes and teams.The audible version was especially pleasant to read, it felt like a podcast with interviews etc. Good read!
Quick and easy read. How to implement Lean Start Up principles in enterprises from small to large as well as government agencies. Of most interest to me was how to nurture innovation (new ideas, concepts, approaches, applications) across disciplines within an organization.

I enjoyed the book and like that it focuses on the practical side. They even have guests speak about their experience. Very cool. But after reading „The Lean Startup“ this book felt very repetitive with marginal new insights for me. Maybe that is just because I‘m not reading it to actually apply it. I would recommend it for everyone who wants to actually implement The Lean Startup principles.
Eric Ries does a great job of explaining Lean Startup techniques as applied to Entrepreneurial Management. This book is helpful for managers, intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs who are keen to learn a new way of thinking, problem solving and business development.Lessons cover ideas such as how to identify and prioritize Leap of Faith Assumptions, determining Growth Hypotheses and how to test the latter with MVPs. The author also explains Learning Metrics and Innovation Accounting. The guest intervi...
Nothing new or different from The Lean Startup. I think both books however take too long to make pretty basic points which then just get repeated over and over to seemingly make the books longer. I do like the philosophy for start ups, I just don't think there needs to be half as many words as there are to explain it.
I keep trying to like The Lean Startup series. I genuinely believe that there’s value in the content. But, try as I might, I find the presentation a little self-righteous. Worth a read but, if you’re looking for leadership advice, start elsewhere.
The case studies in the second half of the audiobook are surprisingly interesting - both as good examples of the contents of the book but also as evidence of drift and confirmation bias.
It is hard to position this book in the larger set of lean startup books out there. It is almost as if there are two books in one.I have read at least a dozen lean startup books. After reading the "canon", (The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses, Running Lean: Iterate from Plan A to a Plan That Works and/or The Startup Owner's Manual: The Step-By-Step Guide for Building a Great Company), it is very interesting to delve into...
Eric Ries is infamous in the technology field as the author of Lean Startup, where he captured the principles and methodology for structured innovation. Now, in The Leader's Guide, he provides a practical guide to actually executing that methodology and backs it up with lots of real life examples from his consulting work including an extensive case study with General Electric woven through the book.Although Ries advises you to use this book as a reference manual for implementing entrepreneurial
Common sense mixed with modern buzzwords and pithy anecdotes.The first part looks at product development, and how ideas from lean startups can be applied even within larger organisations.The rest is mostly a mishmash of anecdotes and ex-post-facto rationalisations.
This little book is highly practical and immediately applicable. It describes the concepts of the Lean startup, tailored to be implemented in large, established organisations. It should be highly valuable for any leader, formal or not.
Agree that there is a good deal that is not new or not covered elsewhere, but most of this is in the first half of the book which covers Lean Startup methodology and at times feels like a "lessons learned" section.It's the second half where Reis looks at applying the methodology to large enterprises that the book becomes much more useful. As someone who is dealing with many of these challenges I found many interesting insights that helped me to reframe some of the basic value propositions of Lea...
Ries wanted to write an implementation manual for the Lean Startup, he wrote an anecdote compendium spiced with several interviews instead.Why would you spend the reader's time explaining and supporting your innovation ideas instead of focusing on implementation examples when you already wrote two books devoted to that?Having said that, this book is a nice refresher to the methodology for those interested in learning more.
I think Lean Startup is like teenage sex: everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it. Lean Startup concept is misunderstand in a similar way like Scrum is (read the original Scrum book by Jeff Sutherland to understand what I mean).I was thinking for several days what to make of this book. *Read "The Lean Startup" to boast that you have read the original classic and you don't mind slightly outdated IT
This is basically "Lean Startups for Corporate Startups". As a mostly-startup person who has worked with some large organizations, it does seem like a good approach to innovation in large organizations, but there's the inherent problem that innovation in large organizations is very difficult and basically hellish for everyone involved, even when it goes well. This book outlines what might be the best method to do something which is basically unpleasant (but profitable), and does provide some goo...
As usual, Eric writes and gives advice that is actionable and insightful. I am a small business owner with a background in lean six sigma and I thoroughly enjoy every moment of his books. Concise, detailed and able to be implemented.
Really enjoyed the book listening again to Eric Ries reiterating ideas about the lean start-up and more specifically how to apply them to real-life large corporations. It is indeed a great book, especially for those in leadership roles guiding a large team.
two thirds book, one third podcast, some nuggest of wisdom from the guru.
