Innovation Accounting

Agile-Scrum

Innovation Accounting (Eric Ries) uses the following three basic steps:

1)  It uses a minimal viable product (MVP) to establish real data on where the company stands at any
given juncture.  An MVP is the fastest way to establish a customer feedback loop with minimal output
of e ort.

Its primary goal is to test fundamental business hypotheses without having to perfect the product or
service in question too prematurely.

2)  Using the MVP, start-ups, through many attempts, move from the baseline to the ideal, when the
company then reaches a decision point.

3)  At this juncture, a company is either making solid progress toward the ideal enough that it makes
sense to continue, or persevere.  If not, the strategy must be deemed awed and in need of serious
change―or as Ries labels it, a pivot, which starts the process all over again and in a more productive
fashion than before.

when free of all constraint

It is a myth that autonomy be

autonomy

it is indeed a myth that autonomy (and self-organisation) of teams be unconstrained.  Such an


approach, especially in a scaled environment, would lead to chaos.

Yet it is also true that innovation and creativity come from teams operating with the optimal level of
self-organisation and autonomy, within the framework of the organisation.

When Demingh says that management cannot delegate change, this is part of what cannot be
delegated.

Autonomy and self-organisation must have clear boundaries, aligned to organisational purpose.
