- 7. "Complex social problems today outstrip the capacity of any single organiza9on or individual to solve them. We don't need to grow non-profits. We need to grow networks for social change." Alison Fine, co-author of The Networked Nonprofit
- 8. what LFLP15 participants had to say “Just having the space to play with ideas in a se5ng where everyone was in the same frame of mind was really incredible. It was a great think tank, and its been amazing to see how everyone else’s projects have developed and collaborate with other LFLP people in the last few months.” “…each session I was able to go away and progress the project based on what was discussed. In addiFon, the contacts were great to discuss the project with and also find out what else was happening in this field.” “A terrific structured program that was results orientated.” “The LFLP drew together a fascinaFng group of people with inspiring ideas of how to change our food system. Working together to develop these ideas into projects, under the guidance of the Doing Something Good team, was a really valuable experience.” “CollecFon of a range of tools to help me think about business development in a structured manner.” “MeeFng other food networkers from vegan to food waste minimisaFon projects. One thing bound us together which was to change the status quo around food.” “Personal connecFons with amazing people in the sustainable food space…. met some great people who I have stayed in contact with.”

We’re looking for individuals and organisa=ons that have an idea for a new product, service, social enterprise, campaign, event, or community project that they believe will contribute to: • increasing food produc=on in the City of Melbourne [see map], and/or • increasing opportuni=es for for city residents and visitors to purchase local and regionally-produced food. Over seven consecu=ve weeks, our experienced team of facilitators, presenters and mentors will help you get ready to launch, go for funding, build your team, find partners, or whatever it is you need to take that next big step with your local food idea.

- 32. What does a good idea look like?
- 34. People don’t buy what you do they buy why you do it. ~ Simon Sinek
- 35. ‣ why: belief, mo=va=on or purpose ‣ how: experience or process ‣ what: details of product of service
- 39. DEFINE IDEATE PROTOTYPE ENQUIRE TEST IMPLEMENT REVIEW IMPROVE design thinking in practice eight stages
- 42. "Lean Startup" is a system for developing a business, product or service in the most efficient way possible to reduce the risk of failure. It is an approach that treats all ideas as having assump=ons (or hypotheses) that must be validated by rapid experimenta=on in the marketplace. The approach relies on scien=fic experimenta=on, itera=ve product releases, and customers feedback to generate validated learning.
- 43. A startup is a human ins9tu9on designed to create a new product or service under condi9ons of extreme uncertainty. In Lean Startup terms, a startup is a group of people working on a risky new product, even if that group of people works for Starbucks or the US Marine Corps. - Eric Ries
- 44. “Lean Startup is a method for crea4ng and sustaining innova4on in all kinds of organisa4ons. It helps you get good at answering two cri4cal ques4ons: 1. Should we build this new product or service? 2. And how can we increase our odds of success in this new thing?” ~ Sarah Milstein, co-founder Lean Startup Produc4ons
- 45. risk There are three areas in which a new iniFaFve typically faces a very high degree of uncertainty—or risk: 1. Technical risk (feasibility) 2. Business model (viability) 3. Customer risk (desirability)
- 46. technical risk (feasibility) You could think of this as the quesFon: Can we build this thing at all? For example, if you’re seeking a cure for cancer, there’s a big risk that you’ll fail to find it. If you do find it, you’ll certainly have customers, so there’s no market risk.
- 47. business model risk (viability) This amounts to the quesFon: Can we create a way for this thing to make us money?
- 48. customer risk (desirability) This is the quesFon: If we build this thing, will people use or buy it? Put another way: Should we build this thing?
- 49. biggest risk = customer risk OperaFng under the assumpFon that the demand exists and that customers will buy and use your product or service in the way you believe. “…learning what customers want and will pay for is your biggest priority. It’s the thing you want to do most quickly and effecFvely.”
- 50. who are you making this for?
- 51. http://www.nitibhan.com/2013/01/reflections-on-design-thinking- Human Centred Design
- 52. identifying your target customer/user/audience • Think about who is going to be buying your product, using your service, contribu=ng to your cause, par=cipa=ng in your program or engaging with your campaign. Clearly iden=fying a group of people to target (some=mes called a market segment) allows you to design your offering to best meet their needs, and tailor your communica=ons to best engage them and get them to take ac=on (buy, use, contribute, etc.) • Who believes what you believe? (Remember Simon Sinek: Start with Why) • Who do you think will be your Early Adopters? These are your ideal customers/users/ audience. • Create a profile based on your ideal customer/user/audience. Go beyond a simple demographic. Be specific. eg. Mums with young children, who are returning to work, are Fme poor, and who want to provide their kids with fresh, healthy food, that’s quick and easy to prepare. > Please note: You may have more than one group to target — e.g. a distribuFon service that targets farmers, retailers and consumers has three customer groups. If that is the case, create a profile of an ideal customer for each — i.e. a farmer profile, a retailer profile and a consumer profile.
- 53. Empathyis not just about walking in another's shoes. First you must remove your own.
- 54. understanding your target customer/user/audience Imagine a scenario where your target customer/user/audience is experiencing the problem you are trying to solve for them. What is it that your target customer/user/audience is looking for? What are they trying to do, or what job do they need done? If you have more than one target group, do this acFvity for each one. > Complete Empathy Map 1. What are they thinking and feeling? What are they wan=ng to do? What are they liking? What don’t they like? Why? 2. What are they doing or saying? What ac=ons are they performing/trying to perform? What equipment or technology are they using? What is working well? What isn’t working well? What might they be saying to others in this scenario? 3. What are they seeing? Where are they? What are the features of their environment? Who else is there? What are they doing? 4. What are they hearing? What are others saying? > Gains: What are their wants, needs, goals and aspiraPons? > Pains: What are their challenges, obstacles and frustraPons?

- 56. what is your VALUE PROPOSITION?
- 57. What is a Value Proposition? A Value Proposi=on is a few words or a short sentence that communicate to your target customer/user/audience why they should buy, use, contribute to, engage with or par=cipate in what you have to offer — iden=fying what problem you are solving for them, or the job you’re doing for them. If you have more than one group you are targe1ng, their will likely be a different value proposi1on for each one. A Value Proposi=on might state: • the benefits they will receive (Think about what’s important to them.) • the outcomes or results they will achieve (Think about problem they are trying to solve or they job they need to be done — which might be a problem they are wan=ng to solve for someone else.) • features that are beher than similar products or services currently available (What might not be working or what don’t they like about current offering/solu=ons?) Make sure you are thinking about this from their perspec=ve.
