Go Fast, Learn a Lot: A Conversation with Phil Green on Product-Centered Entrepreneurship

Listen Later

In this episode of the WLEI Podcast, we speak with product leader and angel investor Phil Green about product-centered entrepreneurship and what it takes to truly create value for customers. Since 2020, Phil has been the senior advisor for B2B and technology at Harvard Innovation Labs. Before the i-lab, Phil spent over 30 years working at various startups as a CEO, COO, CTO, and a product manager.

The conversation explores: 

  • Some of the most exciting products and services Phil has seen come out of Harvard’s entrepreneurial community
  • What it takes to create a solid MVP (minimum viable product)
  • Why Phil teaches “minimum valuable process,” not just “MVP”
  • The different types of challenges teams face in large, distributed organizations versus smaller startups when it comes to lean thinking
  • How to focus on lean and agile principles rather than rituals to move fast while staying responsive to customers and market demands
