Playing Lean for the better future

It always delights me when people use the award-winning board game Playing Lean to teach new generations lean startup and entrepreneurial skills:

From zero to 100,000 customers - How do you make it happen? 🤔

That was the challenge we tackled on Saturday at the Startup Workshop at RIT Croatia. 🐯

High schoolers and students kicked off the day with a lecture by professor Scott Coleman, then put theory into action by crafting their own strategies in the Playing Lean board game. 🎲

By the end of the game, the key takeaways became clear:

📝 Experiment first - validate before building
📝 Always keep customers at the center of your strategy
📝 Identify real pain points and craft solutions that truly solve them.

A big thank-you goes to Bruno Pešec, one of the game’s creators, for generously gifting it to our program and allowing students to experience "learning by doing" in the best possible way.

On a personal note, facilitating this session was a new and cool experience for me, and I'm looking forward to many more. 😊 Who knows - one of these students might just build the next big thing! 🚀
