Welcome to our Lean Innovation for Micro Enterprises (LIME) Online course
So, what exactly is Lean Innovation?
Lean innovation is focused on increasing efficiency by capturing customer feedback early and often and minimizing waste in the product or service development cycle. The process prioritizes experimentation over elaborate planning and celebrates continuous, incremental improvement.
For us, lean innovation is a combination of three main approaches:
- The ability to identify new opportunities through the use of design thinking
- The ability to quickly, and with fewer resources, develop, prototype, learn, validate, and improve business solutions
- The ability to apply Agile processes, which enable teams to reduce waste, make incremental improvements, and eliminate the bureaucracy that often hinders innovation
Our online course comprises 3 stand-alone modules which together make up our Lean Innovation Course: Design Thinking, The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Approach and Agile Processes.
We believe in lean, so each module will take you a maximum of 1 hour to complete! They are comprised of a 5 – 6 micro lessons each about 10 minutes long, perfect for your busy schedule.
It’s a fine lime between success and failure!
