    • The Lean Startup

      Eric Ries

      Kleine onderneming en ondernemerschap Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what custom

    • Sales for Nice People

      Martin Stellar

      Zaken en persoonlijke financiën It's quite amazing how many folks have hang-ups, where it comes to selling their work: "Stressful", "No good at it", "Awkward", "I just want to do my work without having to sell"... These are some of the things people tell me. It's a sad state of affairs, especially since most people have a truly valuable offer, are good people, and genuinely want to serve their buyers. But, until you land a client, you don't get to serve that client, right? Actually: wrong. If you really want to serve a buyer, then your serving them starts before they buy. If you truly deliver a rocking product or service, then your first order of business is serving your buyer, in the process of making a decision. That decision being: whether or not to buy that product or service of yours. It's a bit like coaching, in that sense: you're not there to convince or persuade, but to hold a space where someone reaches their own clarity, uncovers their own motives for making a decision (in this case: whether or not to buy)

Drie NRC -journalisten reconstrueren in detail het wrange internetsprookje van Booking.com, dat eind jaren negentig begon als een idee van een groepje techniekstudenten uit Twente en uitgroeide tot het grootste en machtigste hotelboekingsplatform ter wereld. Dit is het niet eerder vertelde verhaal van de opkomst, hoogtij en het morele verval van Booking, vol extravagante feesten, uit de hand gelopen internetexperimenten, bedrogen aandeelhouders, handtastelijke managers en ruzies in de boardroom. Maar vooral is dit het verhaal van een bedrijf dat een weergaloze online geldmachine bouwde, en in de eeuwige zucht naar meer de mensen achter de machine vergat.

      Kleine onderneming en ondernemerschap Serial ondernemer en investeerder Michiel Muller maakt met zijn beproefde methode de drempel voor succesvol ondernemen een stuk lager. Ondernemen is in beweging komen, en dat is voor veel mensen (en bedrijven) niet makkelijk. Michiel Muller, succesvol ondernemer en investeerder, maakt met deze beproefde methode de drempel een stuk lager.

      Brian J. Robertson

      Kleine onderneming en ondernemerschap Met holacratie kan elke organisatie, hoe groot of klein ook, flexibeler en robuuster worden. Veel organisaties zouden graag wendbaarder zijn, om sneller te kunnen reageren op wat een veranderende omgeving van ze vraagt. Dit vereist een andere organisatievorm met minder bureaucratie. Holacratie is zo’n organisatievorm. Holacratie biedt een baanbrekende nieuwe structuur. Het is uitermate actiegericht en problemen worden snel en transparant aangepakt. Werknemers worden expert op hun eigen vakgebied en een volger in het vakgebied van anderen. Ook krijgt elke medewerker een stem, zonder met consensusvorming te werken. Dit zorgt voor veel minder gemiste kansen: innovatieve ideeën of oplossingen voor grote problemen blijven niet meer hangen in politiek of bureaucratisch gesteggel. Holacratie verbetert de flow op de werkvloer en geeft werknemers een gevoel van empowerment en betrokkenheid. Brian Robertson, de bedenker van deze methode, beschrijft de theorie en praktijk van holacratie. Hij

      John Warrillow

      Kleine onderneming en ondernemerschap According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency. Alex turns to Ted, an entrepreneur and old family friend, who encourages Alex to pursue three criteria to make his business sellable: * Teachable: focus on products and services that you can teach employees to deliver. * Valuable: avoid price wars by specialising in doing one thing better than anyone else. * Repeatable: generate recurring revenue by engineering products that customers have to repurchase often.

      Kleine onderneming en ondernemerschap In 2006, while travelling in Argentina, young entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie encountered children too poor to afford shoes, who developed injuries on their feet that often led to serious health problems. Blake knew he wanted to help, but rather than start a charity, he went against conventional wisdom and created a for profit business to help the children who he met. With the help of a local shoemaker, Blake struck out to merge activism and fashion in the form of a local canvas shoe worn by farmers and gauchos alike, called the alpargata. Blake called his creation TOMS Shoes (which stands for "Tomorrow's Shoes") and promised to give a pair of new shoes to a child in need for every pair that he sold. Starting with only two hundred pairs of handmade shoes, optimism, and entrepreneurial charisma, Blake successfully launched TOMS into the high fashion world.

    • De Duivel te slim af zijn

      Napoleon Hill

      Kleine onderneming en ondernemerschap Ontsluit de kracht van je eigen mindset met ‘De duivel te slim af zijn’, de langverzwegen opvolger van ‘Think and Grow Rich’ van bestsellerauteur Napoleon Hill. Napoleon Hill beschrijft welke mindset nodig was voor het financiële succes dat hij in 'Think and Grow Rich' beschrijft. 'De Duivel te slim af zijn' schreef hij al voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog, maar werd destijds te controversieel gevonden voor publicatie en is pas recent herontdekt. Het is verrassend eigentijds, doordat hij laat zien wat hij leerde van zijn worstelingen in de turbulente tijden van de industriële revolutie en de economische crisis van de jaren dertig. Hill beschrijft de innerlijke strijd die ieder mens wel eens ervaart en ontfutselt de Duivel het geheim van hoe hij mensen in zijn greep krijgt: door angst, woede, uitstelgedrag en afgunst. Zo leidt de Duivel ons af van ons werkelijke doel. Maar door onze zwakten en angsten onder ogen te zien, kunnen we onze dromen waarmaken.
