Great points David. I've also been working with a large enterprise to "jump start" their software innovation capabilities. All of the challenges you've identified are dead on. One solution that you I'm working through is to (in true lean philosophy) tap out of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Sometimes overcoming the challenges will cost more than to simply allow the "lean stuff" to occur outside of the big organization. Another benefit for the large company is to not have the existing culture that is driving current business infected by "cowboys". In fact, if you "spin out" or create external vehicles though investment, incubators, or accelerators, large enterprises may get the best of both worlds.

David, you nicely point out the challenges of large corporations when it comes to new products and business models.

Regarding this topic, I usually recommend the following book as a reference: "The Other Side of Innovation" by Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble. It perfectly complements my own book, Business Model Generation.

Hi David, great post!

Lean Startup Vancouver is hosting an event with a subject "Can We Be Lean In All Stages?" that might find some insight into this issue.

Hope that our conclusion is the qualified yes as well.

Thanks for your tips. So, if we are the only entity in the auction at the completion of grace period (generally 40 days from expiry-date), do we get the domain, or does it still go through 30-days redemption period.

Regards,

My mum fell hook line and sinker in love with the iPad. She struggles with computers, but the iPad 'just works' for her. It's a delight to see. I don't think the stores do a good job selling it though... it took my cousin to sell my mum on it

While social recommendations may be superior in their ability to engage users vis-a-vis machine-generated recommendations (think Hunch, DailyPerfect, etc.), social recommendations are not infallible, especially if used in a way contrary to the mechanics of social media.
