Lean Business Change (LBC) leads process that can be more effective, innovative and less risky at the same time but with limitations.
Effective
Step-by-Step Process. In classical business development in major business change cases typically there is no systematic development process like Lean Business Change has.
Learning effect. In business changes all the steps in the process need to be lean not just the front end. As the process is once learned by a team using it in different cases makes the process more effective and productive.
Innovative
Your Talented People. It is not only about leaders trying to figure out what kind of business change would be optimal but you get input from your best people into the process.
Process Disruption. Customer development part of LBC starts with a step the purpose of which is to disrupt old thinking and habits. During the development emphasis on practice enables that there is strive not only for innovative solutions but innovative ways of doing business.
Less Risky
Reality Emphasis. In Lean Business Change there is always preference for development that is done in business real context. It means that validity is higher than if it is based only on separate validation tests.
Dynamics Continued. There is tendency that after foundations of a business change are found, business side of development gets static as elements of business (like products) are being build. In LBC business dynamics is preserved even at this stage which means higher validity and lower risk.
