CHALLENGE
Upskill team in lean startup methodology
Sportsbet wanted members from across its organisation who had no prior startup experience, but were coming together as part of an innovation project, to understand the lean startup methodology.
SOLUTION
We delivered a lean startup workshop for cross-functional Sportsbet team
We took a team of cross-functional Sportsbet employees through a one day lean startup workshop, designed to take them through the end to end process of identifying problems and solutions, business modelling, identifying key assumptions and experiments, building prototypes, testing assumptions with customers, defining and evaluating key metrics, pitching their ideas and making pivot or proceed decisions.
OUTCOME
Team learned to build fast, measure fast and learn fast
By the end of the workshop, Sportsbet employees had:
- An appreciation for the lean startup methodology and how to build fast, measure fast and learn fast
- Learned the value of moving quickly and how to prototype in a day
- Understood that ego must be put to the side when innovating as our initial assumptions are often flawed
