    Following Anderson and Tushman (1990), companies are facing exceptional competition in today’s era of ferment. Pressured by an innovation impetus, companies seek new means of doing and producing. Start-ups are seen as a model of innovation due to their potential disruptive power and are increasingly turned to as identifying promising means and processes, as presented by the Lean Startup. Though a highly popular topic in research, there is little empirical evidence that holds water in a more critical scrutiny of the applicability of Lean Startup principles, their benefits and compatibility with other, effective means to deal with the context of complexity, however fall short when facing extreme uncertainty, where high levels of design need to be incorporated. In this thesis I explore ways to introduce Lean Startup into an agile medium-sized IT vendor, namely Futurice acting as an empirical environment. Utilising co-creative methods I map the culture, define customer relationships and present project cases, in order to identify opportunities and limitations of adopting Lean Startup thinking within the specific setting of Futurice. As a solution I present three actionable steps, that are the Lean Startup Poster, an artefact to educate and enable communication, the Lean Startup Roadmap, a set of actionable steps, and the Lean Startup Testbed Proposal, an artefact-based design heuristic to vertically and horizontally integrate Lean Startup as a process into Futurice

    Good Practices of the Lean Startup Methodology: Benefits, challenges and recommendations

    Get PDF
    Most companies strive to capitalize on new business opportunities to innovate and develop new business models. The recent popularity of Lean Startup methodology in the startup scene suggests its potential applicability for the creation of new businesses in a corporate context. Therefore, this thesis identifies how to apply Lean Startup practices in software companies. The research was conducted as a literature review and a qualitative study, including semi-structured interviews from three Finnish software companies. Furthermore, the study provides a within-case and cross-case analysis of the positive and negative effects and recommendations for applying Lean Startup practices in software companies. The results indicate that there is resistance to change towards a more innovative company culture, insufficient knowledge and understanding of the Lean Startup, and its practices require time to be learnt. Moreover, the lack of proper communication of the Lean Startup benefits creates rejection from external teams. Nevertheless, the results reveal that the top management commitment to communicate and demonstrate early on what the Lean Startup is can help software companies and customers accept more readily the methodology and shift the company culture mindset towards a more innovative mindset. Furthermore, the results confirm that the Lean Startup application adds customer validation to the product development process, enabling faster product/market fits and data-driven decision-making that improves the process accuracy and speed. Moreover, the innovation accounting practice supports the learning about customer behavior. In contrast, the results show that teams not working together in the same location, customers rigidness and low or high volume of feedback can reduce the product development process speed. Consequently, software companies should communicate and demonstrate very early on the benefits of the Lean Startup methodology to employees and customers to help them understand, learn and adopt its practices while embracing a more innovative culture

    Innovation, effective management of change, and integrating human factor elements into flight operations control distinguishing features of the aviation sector. Immersive technologies (Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality – Digital Twins technology) can be used in aviation training programs to provide an immersive and interactive learning experience for all aviation professionals. Adapting an aviation immersive technology environment in transportation simulation can allow the implementation of new training approaches in a safe and controlled environment without the risk of actual flight or equipment damage. Digital twins are used to create realistic flight simulations, allowing aviation ecosystem actors to practice their skills in various scenarios and conditions. This helps to improve safety and prepare aviation experts for unexpected events during actual flight. Another use for Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality Simulation in aviation training programs is maintenance training. Moreover, Digital Twins can simulate maintenance procedures on aircraft and aviation systems, allowing SMEs to enhance their knowledge and practice their skills in a safe, cost-effective, and controlled environment. Purdue University School of Aviation and Transportation Technology (SATT) Ecosystems' Artificial Intelligence (AI) research roadmap aims to introduce digital twins in aviation training programs to simulate flight-airport operations and air traffic scenarios. Moreover, Purdue's Artificial Intelligence approach for Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality Simulation / Digital Twins focuses on the potential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of aviation training programs (CBTA globally) by providing a more realistic and immersive learning experience {lean process for training/certification, transition to AI – Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) environment}. Furthermore, this research focuses on implementing challenges and mitigating residual risk in the 'AI black box.' Results were analyzed and evaluated the Artificial Intelligence certification and learning assurance challenges under the Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality Simulation – Digital Twins aspects

    This study focuses on a Venture Acceleration program that is based on the Lean Startup method and its impact on a specific development team’s way of working. The scope of the program included training of corporate personnel to embrace a customer-centered and business-oriented mindset. The phenomenon related to this development study is the organization’s work culture transformation. The implementation of the focused training, in the form of an internal venture accelerator program, seeks to specifically speed up this transformation. The purpose of this thesis is to implement an action research approach to find out if development work can be accelerated by accepting certain tools and a process, together with a user-centered mindset. According to the synthesis of these findings, an improvement proposal was created to establish a better competence within the development team. The results are based on observation and interviews with the project team and the development work stakeholders. The observation findings show that the project team was able to improve their way of working and successfully deliver the digital assembly instructions project accordingly. The interview findings state that the development team will require more concrete ways to embrace the user-centered approach in their daily work. The reflection of the analysis indicates that the accelerator program will present an opportunity to both individual teams and organizations to embrace a new way of working. This type of growth of personnel capabilities is likely to benefit organizational transformation. The results point out that the impact of this type of training program speeds up the development process. Compared to the project team in this study, it also produces more direct results than the development team's earlier working methods

    open3siPurpose: This paper aims at proposing knowledge translation as an element of business model design that can support entrepreneurs in achieving alignment and collaboration between entrepreneurial teams and external stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach: The conceptual model presented in the paper is developed from the literature review and draws mainly on two streams of work as follows: first, the contributions related to the lean start-up methodology initially developed by Blank and Ries and second, the work of Osterwalder and Pigneur on business models and its subsequent developments. In addition, we draw on key insights from the entrepreneurship and organizational learning literature, such as discovery-driven planning and disciplined entrepreneurship. Findings: The continuous validation framework (CVF) is introduced, posing the attention on underlining knowledge-translation mechanisms to decode complex concepts related to new venture creation. Originality/value: The authors propose a new framework (the CVF) as an effective translational tool because it is a visual diagram that allows entrepreneurs to translate complex and technical ideas into a format that is more understandable for external audiences. Additionally, for each step of the CVF, specific translational mechanisms are defined and discussed, as each stage of the CVF presents specific translational challenges that result in outcomes that differ from stage to stage.openCorbo L.; Mahassel S.; Ferraris A.Corbo L.; Mahassel S.; Ferraris A

    DIGITAL CO-CREATION Digitalization within Service Design : Transformation from analog thinking towards digital doing

    Get PDF
    The German automotive industry has accelerated its digital transformation as OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) moving from car manufacturers towards becoming mobility providers, striving for new mobility solutions like offering Mobility as a Service (MaaS), Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Self-Driving-System (SDS). OEMs focus on expanding their core product-driven businesses to access service-orientated business models, the transformation from ownership towards shared mobility. Considering internal and external factors, this requires a new set of expertise, capabilities and an underlying approach to fulfill the demands in the complexity of human-centered development and front- and backstage alignment within the organization. At the same time, Service Design as a practice has risen in attraction by industry, being recognized and increasingly requested for its integration in the functions and divisions of the organization. The scale of Service Design in influence and impact has reached professional practice, making its way from a trendy buzzword to professional practice of turning complex problems collaboratively into tangible solutions. It is seen as a powerful opportunity for combining Business, Human-Centered Design and Engineering. Service Design establishes new ways of exploring business opportunities towards agile problem-solving but focuses on the ‘doing’ side towards further implementation. The contribution of this industrial-based doctoral thesis shall define how Service Design can be deployed and implemented in the field of organizational transformation and mobility development in the era of digital transformation (Digitalization). This research approach seeks to acquire new knowledge on how the Service Design practice can be applied and executed to be perceived as a practical approach to improve the enterprise’s processes and operating procedures and also provide a strategy to grow Service Design within the organization. This research has followed developing a pilot in a lean start-up approach of build, measure, learn with various business units and brands within the Volkswagen Group, this also implies that this research case study consisted of analyzing the Volkswagen Group needs for Service Design. The ‘10X-Service Design Lab’ (10X-SDL) has been designed as the framework of a combination of modular lab space, facilitation enhanced process, methodological driven tool box, operational model in alignment with a digital workflow and workspace striving for accelerated decision making. It is based on the hypothesis that the proposed framework enhances Service Design practice and, at the same time, it increases its attractiveness for business purposes. The 10X-SDL is designed to accelerate project development in a human-centered and holistic way by an open workspace platform lead by facilitators on which project developers, participants, and stakeholders can digitally co-create products, services, systems, and strategies. This research has been conducted as a case study within the Volkswagen Group from 2015 to 2019 in cooperation with the main partners of Service Innovation Corner (SINCO) of the University of Lapland and visual collaboration software company DEON

    The applicability of lean six sigma in developing economies:exploratory research on manufacturing environments

    Get PDF
    Substantial literature has established the role of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) as a successful methodology for continuous improvement. Particularly in manufacturing environments, the synergetic approach between the individual techniques of Lean Production and Six Sigma has created an avenue for change in implementing organizations. However there exists a gap, as studies and implementation cases on the LSS subject are predominantly drawn from developed environments. Working culture and regional norms can affect the application of these techniques.This research adopts a multiple case study approach to assess the applicability of the LSS initiative, providing a comparative overview of cases in manufacturing environments of developing and developed countries. Using Nigeria as the main unit of analysis for developing countries, athree-stage data collection process was employed for the realisation of the overall aim of developing an implementation framework suitable for organizations in this clime.As the adopted research approach allows the researcher to be embedded in the implementation process of the case organizations, the need for a holistic approach for learning organizations’ implementation of LSS cannot be overemphasized. The findings of the study uncovered the role of the documented Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for LSS implementation and their effect on failing organizational implementation of LSS. This study is among the very few that examines the interaction of the CSFs as they affect the overall implementation of the initiative, particularly for organizations in developing countries.Based on the findings from the literature and the multiple-staged research process, this doctoral research presents an implementation framework for Lean Six Sigma, which provides a three phase approach to the applicability of the initiative. The framework takes into cognizance the needs of learning organizations and provides a structured and practical approach to implementation, based on the identified CSFs. A Delphi study, employing expert views, was used to validate the proposed implementation framework
