Why The Lean Startup Changes Everything
Steve Blank's article in the Harvard Business Review is free for a month! Announced at his blog ( http://steveblank.com/2013/04/16/when-hell-froze-over-in-the-harvard-business-review/ ).<p>I'm not so sure that I agree with his forward-looking statements about large corporations adopting his methods... business plans are still needed to decide which direction to go into, and product development times are long for a reason in established industries. The GE example is really just more about "understand your market" than lean start-up principles.<p>That said, I'm glad he's in HBR, and I especially like how he plays up the other people who helped articulate the framework he's pushing.
