Your City as a Lean Startup

Description:

Cities are improvising and experimenting in ways to improve civic participation, quality of life, transportation, water usage, carbon mitigation, and more. Join Ash Mauyra, bestselling author of "Running Lean" and "Scaling Lean", Chris Rezendes, entrepreneur, investor, and CEO of IOT Impact Labs, and Julia Richman, Chief Innovation and Technology Officer of the City of Boulder, Colorado, and learn where and how to innovate in your city. We'll include case studies illustrating how to create a successful strategy for funding, getting city and citizen buy-in, running a successful experiment and scaling it, and sharing what you've learned. Citizens and engineers – find out how you can get involved too!
