Hassan MokdadGUEST
All right, so as you have mentioned, there is a lot of similarity between my idea and the vision of the Writing and Communication Center, which is basically a crossover product.

Hassan MokdadGUEST
And that is... exactly what the lean startup methodology is all about, you know, and, uh, it all boils down to, uh, something that's called the lean manufacturing revolution, which started with, uh, Taishi Ono and Shigo Shingu, uh, who were developing at Toyota back in the day.

Hassan MokdadGUEST
And, uh, The lean thinking is radically altering the way supply chains and production systems are run.

Hassan MokdadGUEST
So among its tenets are drawing on the knowledge and creativity of individual workers, the shrinking of batch sizes, adjust in time production and inventory control, and acceleration of cycle times.

Hassan MokdadGUEST
So it taught the world the difference between value creating activities and waste and showed how to build quality into products from the inside out.

Hassan MokdadGUEST
So this is where the Lean Startup comes in, where it adapts those ideas to the context of entrepreneurship, proposing that entrepreneurs judge their progress differently from the way other kinds of ventures do.
