In my experience, this startup mentality works well not only for corporate projects / products, but also for orienting a team inside the organisation. Accepting that any team is actually a tiny business of its own helps to quickly orient around key stakeholders, get reality check that you actually contribute anything to the org, and cut down unnecessary activities. Importantly, all the startup tools like CustDev[0] techniques, Lean Canvas[1] and many applicable others are already there, built and tested by startup community over the years. 0 - The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick is a good entry point https://www.amazon.com/Mom-Test-customers-business-everyone-ebook/dp/B01H4G2J1U/ https://www.amazon.com/Mom-Test-customers-business-everyone-... 1 - https://medium.com/@steve_mullen/an-introduction-to-lean-canvas-5c17c469d3e0 https://medium.com/@steve_mullen/an-introduction-to-lean-can...
