You simply can't hire an outside professional to test and learn from customer interactions when searching for a value proposition and business model. You have to roll up your sleeves and do the hard work of getting to know your audience. Listen in as Alex explains how a company can change this habit.
You'd think if you're in charge of inventing the future of a company, that has a lot of prestige. But it doesn't.”

Alex and I had been reviewing a blog post together when the idea for this webinar episode popped into his head. He was excited to discuss a habit that he's seen in many big companies, and it's something we thought was important to get down on tape. We chat about:
- Alex's definition of "outsourcing the validation of your ideas"
- Where this habit exists in large companies
- The dangers of outsourcing your testing and learning
- How companies can transform this habit by creating an "invention space"
- Our suggestion for a leader of that invention space: The Chief Entrepreneur
