Our Scaling Expertise

Many organizations are not built to scale. They take on projects that have a lot of overhead and manual effort (what we call “toil”). “Short cuts” to solutions incur a unique type of operational “debt”. This operational debt is not monetary, but rather overhead in processes and time spent, or “technical” debt that could make solutions buggy or hard to roll out.

With our management experience, every aspect of Jumpstart Nature will consider “toil” and “operational debt” to ensure we maximize our output in the most scalable manner.

And to reach the maximum number of people, we will leverage mobile technology and media (podcasts, social media, video, and more).

Our Product Expertise

We’ve taken another lesson from our experience in the tech industry and are adopting Agile program management in conjunction with a “minimum viable product” approach to our product and solution launches.

We treat everything as a “product”, whether it is an app, a podcast, or a webinar. Using Agile program management, we assume we’ll learn and adjust as we go, taking things once step at a time. While it may seem “one step at a time” would be slow, the exact opposite occurs. With small, sharp goals each week, velocity increases. See our approach to Minimum Viable Products to see how these benefits compound.

Our Minimum Viable Product Approach

Minim Viable Products (MVPs) are another lesson from the tech world. An MVP is essentially the core minimum set of features that you will launch with.

Reducing your “grand plan” to a core starting point means you can launch faster. And launching faster means you’ll learn much more about what users really want, much faster. This allows you to iterate, correct, and improve at a rapid rate, especially when combined with Agile Program Management.

Consider the alternative – you plan a full featured product that will take 24 months to launch (as opposed to an MVP that takes 6 months). By the time you launch in 24 months, user requirements will have changed, technology and tech services you rely on will have changed, and it is very likely that some of the features you spent months working on were not as popular as you expected. MVPs mitigate all of these risks.
