228. Why Smart Leaders Prototype First, Strategise Later
Manage episode 449929422 series 2974873
If you think product development comes after business strategy, you're leaving money on the table and falling behind your competitors. Don’t do that.
In this episode, you'll learn why smart business leaders are using prototypes as a strategic weapon - so you can do it too.
You'll learn:
- Why your 50-page strategy doc is worth less than a tested napkin sketch
- How your "small" idea might actually be a golden goose in disguise
- The real reason PowerPoint presentations don't get funding (spoiler: they're boring)
- Why waiting for the perfect strategy is like waiting to get in shape before going to the gym 🤷♀️
Perfect for corporate innovators who are tired of death by PowerPoint and non-technical founders who think they need to write War and Peace before building anything.
Warning: This episode contains dangerous levels of common sense and might cause sudden urges to actually build something.
