Bringing The Experimentation Mindset To Large Corporations
Jacopo Romei
Jacopo started a Twitter thread with a provocative statement: "Can corporations validate their product ideas as startups do?"
He believes that most corporations can validate their ideas even better than startups. He shares a story about a coffee producer who wanted to create a new business model.
Starting by using Lean Canvas, Jacopo and the team identified ways to provide value and experimented with different ideas.
They eventually came up with the idea of trying coffee in a real Italian house, similar to the platform-based business of Airbnb.
Jacopo shares some tips for identifying assumptions, using analogies to think of new products and experiences, and finding ways to experiment cheaply.
During the interview, Jacopo summarizes the key steps of the story, including preparing arguments for the approach, focusing on validating the need, and finding ways to experiment cheaply.
He also shares some obstacles he encountered and how he overcame them.
