If there’s something Shanghai does well, its speed
Whether it’s a McLaren or Mercedes flying around the track at the Grand Prix or the maglev train zipping down the line from Longyang Road to Pudong Airport, things don’t hang around in one of the world’s most dynamic cities
Sadly, this speed rarely translates to the workplace.
….Not so much!
When it comes to product development, many of Shanghai’s enterprises seemingly prefer to walk than catch the 0-350-in-2-minutes rapid transit!
In today’s technology-driven landscape, companies across China, Singapore, East Asia, and, well, the entire world, will be left stranded on the platform if they don’t hop aboard the fast-moving innovation train.
Falling into the trap of innovation theatre is easy, but performances belong at Culture Square, not within your organization.
We take organizations past the play-acting and towards a mindset that lives and breathes lean startup principles.
We’ve worked with numerous companies across Asia, such as FWD Group, Lufthansa, and Standard Chartered and are ready to help you move faster, learn faster, and succeed faster.
Our pool of high-caliber talent is located all over Asia, and they’re ready to help you adopt the principles that have helped the likes of Netflix, Alibaba and Uber fly past the competition.
WHY LEAN STARTUP?
In today’s fast changing and uncertain business landscape, the organizations that learn the fastest - and make better decisions as a result - will win.
While many organizations find themselves flush with employee ideas, they have no meaningful way to take those ideas further, short of over-investing in full-blown product development, which often turns out to be a costly mistake.
Organizations of all sizes are embracing the lean startup to help them take ideas further, and place many small bets, instead of few large ones.
This helps organizations improve their likelihood of finding product market fit for new product and service ideas, and avoid wasting time and money on the wrong ideas, or worse still, doing anything at all.
The lean startup supports quickly, cheaply and effectively testing assumptions underpinning an idea.
It’s about designing experiments to observe what customers will do in the real world, not just what they say.
It empowers managers to make better investment decisions, supported not by what market research reports, group-think, politics or the highest paid person say, but by what customer behaviour tells us.
We’ve worked with some of the world’s largest brands to deliver lean startup training and empower organisations to build, measure and learn much faster than they ever have before - something key to not only thriving, but also surviving in the 21st Century.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Design thinking is not just for product teams. It can be used by people from across your organization to solve whatever problems they are faced with.
HOW IS IT DELIVERED?
Our lean startup training can be delivered face to face, online or via a blended delivery model and can be customised to your organization’s unique requirements.
Participants are encouraged to bring real-world projects to the training and apply concepts learned in real-time to generate measurable business outcomes.
- More than 70% of IT projects fail
- More than 80% of new ideas at large companies fail
- More than 95% of startups fail
Why?
Because they all race ahead and develop products and features that nobody wants or wants bad enough to pay what’s required to generate sustainable growth.
A startup is just a temporary organisation searching for product market fit.
As such, when a corporate innovation team is searching for product market fit for a new concept they are effectively a startup and the same rules apply. Therefore, they need to embrace the mindset, methods and tools that a startup uses to find product market fit, at least in the early stages of an innovation project, to maximise their likelihood of success.
The lean startup provides a framework to quickly, cheaply and effectively test assumptions underpinning an idea - the problem, the solution, the features, target customer segments, distribution channels, marketing channels, revenue models and more - which allows managers to make better investment decisions supported not by what market research reports prepared by research houses tell us (usually an indicator of the past) but what customer behaviour tells us. This goes far beyond focus groups which fail because test cases are usually (a) paid to be there, (b) influenced by the vocal majority in the room and (c) not actually asked to pay for something.
Being 1.5X or 2X better is no longer enough. There are so many factors influencing buyer behaviour including customer experience, switching costs, social proof, price, quality, support, brand, noise and more importantly whether your product is 10X better than what they’re currently using or how they’re currently solving a problem. In a world full of noise and an endless stream of marketing messages, the only way you will stand out and get people’s attention to the point where they are compelled to act is by being 10X better.

The effects of the lean startup bootcamp that Sportsbet employees took part in are still being felt over a year later. Bootcamp participants are questioning things, running lean experiments where they’re not sure of the answers and moving faster to get better results.
