LEANSTUDIO started as a small consultancy focused on Lean Startup coaching and consulting. Over the past decade, our services have expanded to include an array of innovation management, software product management, and AI-enablement services delivered through a mix of customized coaching, embedded consulting, or out-of-the-box workshops and trainings.
“Ryan was able to dig into the different perspectives people brought up and helped guide us through the elements of product management.”
“Ryan ran a very intense weekend development session on Lean Startup. His subject knowledge was excellent, as was the organization of the event.”
“Ryan’s stewardship has guided the lean concepts from the pages of a book to a life changing reality for thousands of individuals.”
“Ryan does a great job engaging everyone. He remembered our individual backstories and referenced them. I found him kind and easy to interact with.”
“Ryan brings a depth of experience, a willingness to engage with questions (including challenging their premise in appropriate ways), relevant anecdotes, and an ability to interpret and contextualize the material.”
“I really enjoyed Ryan’s wit, his kindness in putting us at ease with new concepts, and his willingness to help us see things from our customers’ perspective at every step of our projects. His empathy and ability to translate emotions into tangible insights are key to understanding the market.”
“Ryan meets everyone where they are with usable insight, critical thinking, and empathy.”
product-led innovation mindset
01
MAP THE ECOSYSTEM
MOST ENGAGEMENTS BEGIN WITH A COMPREHENSIVE AUDIT AND STAKEHOLDER MAPPING EXERCISE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND A TEAM OR COMPANY’S RELATIONSHIPS, SKILLS, RESOURCES, AND BLOCKERS.
UNDERSTANDING THE DRIVERS AND BLOCKERS OF THE COMPANY’S PRODUCT OR INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM ENSURES THAT THE RIGHT KIND OF COACHING AND TRAINING CAN BE DELIVERED TO MAXIMIZE IMPACT — WHETHER IT’S A CORPORATE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM OR FLEDGLING PRODUCT DIVISION OF A GROWTH-STAGE STARTUP.
02
SUPERCHARGE ALIGNMENT
PROBLEMS WITH COMMUNICATION AND ALIGNMENT ARE AT THE HEART OF WHY PRODUCT AND INNOVATION TEAMS STRUGGLE TO MAKE PROGRESS, WHICH IN TURN HINDERS THEIR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE DESIRED OUTCOMES THAT JUSTIFY INVESTMENT.
AT THE HEART OF EVERY EVIDENCE-DRIVEN CULTURE ARE PEOPLE RELENTLESSLY COMMITTED TO TRANSPARENCY, COLLABORATION, AND ALIGNMENT AT EVERY STAGE OF THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE.
03
TRANSFORM THE CULTURE
TO DRIVE MEANINGFUL AND LASTING CHANGE, WE HELP TEAMS EMBRACE A CULTURE OF CONTINUOUS EXPERIMENTATION, WHERE IDEAS ARE RAPIDLY TESTED AND VALIDATED IN REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS WITH ACTUAL CUSTOMER DATA.
BY UPSKILLING CLIENTS TO RUN MORE EFFECTIVE EXPERIMENTS, WE HELP THEM REDUCE RISK, UNCOVER NEW OPPORTUNITIES, AND DELIVER VALUABLE OUTCOMES FASTER.
WHETHER FACING THE CHALLENGES OF A STARTUP OR THE COMPLEXITY OF A LARGE ENTERPRISE, OUR APPROACH EMPOWERS AND TRANSFORMS TEAMS SO THEY CAN TACKLE UNCERTAINTY WITH GREATER CONFIDENCE AND CLARITY.
“What was valuable about Ryan’s approach was the opportunity to focus on prioritizing the problems that are the most important to address. I look forward to going back to my company and working cross-functionally to align on these problems.”
“Ryan’s mapping workshop was among the best I have participated in at a conference. I was able to share the outputs I created when I returned to the office and help others on my team use maps to solve some of the communication problems they were experiencing.”
