Agile Ideas

In this episode, ideas don't bring results - you need to develop, implement and improve. So I share what to do when you have a lot of ideas and not sure where to go next or what to do. From tracking the ideas, to deciding which one/s to progress with by asking some key questions and then the very first steps to test the idea.  Link to Business Model Canvas: https://www.strategyzer.com/canvas/...
