LEANSTUDIO started as a small consultancy focused on Lean Startup coaching and consulting. Over the past decade, its services have expanded to include a broader array of innovation management and product management services.
“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
MAP THE ECOSYSTEM
01
MOST ENGAGEMENTS BEGIN WITH A COMPREHENSIVE AUDIT AND STAKEHOLDER MAPPING EXERCISE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND A TEAM OR COMPANY’S RELATIONSHIPS, SKILLS, AND BLOCKERS.
UNDERSTANDING THE DRIVERS AND BLOCKERS OF THE ECOSYSTEM ENSURES THAT THE RIGHT KIND OF COACHING AND TRAINING CAN BE DELIVERED TO MAXIMIZE IMPACT — WHETHER IT’S A CORPORATE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM OR PRODUCT DIViSION OF A COMPANY.
SUPERCHARGE ALIGNMENT
02
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 AND COLLABORATION AT EVERY STAGE OF THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE.
““What was valuable about Ryan’s approach was the opportunity to focus on what problems are the most important to address... I look forward to going back to my company and working cross-functionally to align on these problems.”
