Episode 301: We focus on the new white paper, "Lean at 10: Culture Eats Methodology for Lunch." Lean Start Up Methodology was really on our minds about a decade ago. While there are many professionals who use it and swear by their results, associations and other nonprofits are still slow to adopt this approach. But it could be just what we need to stay adaptive and responsive in the fast-moving 21st century. My guests include the co-authors of "Lean at 10," Elizabeth Engel, M.A., CAE, Chief Strategist, Spark Consulting, LLC, and Jamie Notter, Culture Scientist, Jamie Notter.com, and a practitioner of Lean Management, Chrissy Bagby, CAE, PMP, Chief Strategy Officer, AAVSB. Elizabeth and Jamie outline the major concepts in the paper, and why they revisited this topic 10 years later. Chrissy shares examples of how she and her colleagues use Lean Methodology t principles to move things ahead. She says, "Challenge your idea of failure." That alone is worth the listen! You will also hear fun stories about our early days in association work and how blogs were something we weren't sure would catch on . . . We give a shout out to Guillermo Ortiz de Zarate, the co-author of the original paper. Some may call him just G, but he'll always be Guillermo to me :) What would motivate you to try Lean Methodology? Share a comment!
