How to make this collaborative ?

Recipe :

- 1 entrepreneur willing to improve, - many participants willing to help, - 1 lean startup practioner to lead the experiment, - 1 time keeper, - food,

90 minutes

Lean Startup practioner explain the theory0- assumptions vs certainty- at this stage, everything is hypothesis, - write down what’s in your head, - don’t restrain yourself : whatever you’ll write is not right anyway, as not validated.

15 minutes :

Entrepreneur explains her product1- not business model (as we are going to build it)

5 minutes :

People propose a canevas based on their understanding of the product2 - step by step, lead by an experienced lean practioner- required : A3 Lean Canevas + sticky notes

20 minutes :

2 volunteers propose their canvas- entrepreneur takes notes in silence and modify its canvas- no interruption

3

2 x 10 minutes :

4 Entrepreneur presents its updated Canvas

5 minutes :

5 People challenge the entrepreneur - no suggestions but questions- open discussion

20 minutes :
