Microsoft is making a culture change to Lean by experimenting with different approaches, embracing skepticism, and highlighting best practices. Some approaches that have been tried include sending a team to an external startup accelerator to gain experience, bringing shortened training in-house, requiring workshops for senior leadership, embedding "customer development experts" with teams, and customizing training for small teams. The challenges are that not all approaches are scalable and some require substantial time commitments from employees.

- 22. MVP: We sent a team through an external startup accelerator program ‘Air cover’ from judgment Permission to break from ‘normal’ behaviors Created evangelists Minimal upfront administration/planning Aha! epiphanies Major time commitment ‘Not invented here’ Best for net-new projects Not scalable
- 23. MVP iteration: We shortened the training and brought it in-house Less time commitment Adapted for our reality Taught by internal employees = more credibility Easier to bring to other locations Still best for net-new projects Less ‘air cover’ for learning new behaviors More philosophy than practice Required dedicated employees
- 24. Endorsing cultural change: Workshops for all of senior leadership, attendance expected If the EVP cares about this, you should too Allows leaders to express skepticism openly Taught by internal employee = more credibility One-time only More philosophy than practice Generalized by necessity
- 25. Coaching: Teams embedded with internal customer development ‘experts’ Hands-on practice Learning from peers Aha! Epiphanies Customized experience Substantial time commitment Requires prep work Scheduling is tricky Not scalable
- 26. Customize: Meet small teams where they are today Customized experience Freedom to be skeptical High empowerment ROI for low time commitment Requires a trainer with improv skills Not scalable Pull, not push
