You can read about aerodynamics, but you won’t learn to fly. However, you can learn to fly a flight simulator in a risk-free environment where pilots can safely make the wrong decisions without damaging expensive equipment or causing loss of life.
Playing Lean Simulation is a “flight simulator” for innovation and Lean Startups. This is a nice board game in which players are forced to make difficult choices, not once risking their life savings or their work. The worst case scenario is a humiliating defeat in the hands of his colleagues, where the beginning seemed very promising.
In Playing Lean, teams compete with each other and try to follow the path from the idea for a business model (product) to winning against the competition. The choices you make during the game are difficult: do you risk and build what seems to be desirable by the market, or maybe it is worth spending funds on market research and analysis to understand the needs of the future consumer? Risk or conduct an examination?
Playing Lean simulation allows you to experience the process of introducing a new product. Along the way, players will learn the basic concepts and vocabulary related to Lean Startup. We learn better through fun. Knowledge associated with practical experience and the thrill of competing allows for more effective consolidation of acquired knowledge.
