"Gary does a great job combining the personal and business sides of driving your business to success and giving you the tools needed to do so. Often, as entrepreneurs, we get over whelmed with day-to-day operations and lose focus. The workshop helped me to re-focus and I look forward to future workshops."

"Gary is probably one of the premiere leaders in his industry in Oregon and beyond. He’s thoughtful and strategic and he knows how to take a big vision and make it real. Possibly most importantly, he’s a great communicator and he has a way of bringing people alongside him and helping everyone to learn together. It’s inspiring.”

"It has been a privilege to get to know Gary and participate in his business coaching sessions and accountability. Gary represents that special and rare corporate executive who sincerely enjoys helping others ahead of his own interest. The humility and servant leadership he displays makes the weight of his coaching and the value of his experiences just that much more valuable. I strongly recommend Gary as a business coach and accountability partner for business owners/business leaders, who, like a professional athlete, value having a coach or two to take their game to the next level of performance."

The Innovator’s Method: Bringing the Lean Start-up into Your Organization

The Innovator’s Method is the second book from my eldest son Dr. Nathan Furr and is a set of tools emerging from lean start-up, design thinking, and agile software development that are revolutionizing how new ideas are created, refined, and brought to market.

To date these tools have helped entrepreneurs, designers, and software developers manage uncertainty—through cheap and rapid experiments that systematically lower failure rates and risk. But many managers and leaders struggle to apply these powerful tools within their organizations, as they often run counter to traditional managerial thinking and practice.

Authors Nathan Furr and Jeff Dyer wrote this book to address that very problem. Following the breakout success of The Innovator’s DNA—which Dyer wrote with Hal Gregersen and bestselling author Clay Christensen to provide a framework for generating ideas—this book shows how to make those ideas actually happen, to commercialize them for success.

Based on their research inside corporations and successful start-ups, Furr and Dyer developed the innovator’s method, an end-to-end process for creating, refining, and bringing ideas to market. They show when and how to apply the tools of their method, how to adapt them to your business, and how to answer commonly asked questions about the method itself, including: How do we know if this idea is worth pursuing? Have we found the right solution? What is the best business model for this new offering? This book focuses on the “how”—how to test, how to validate, and how to commercialize ideas with the lean, design, and agile techniques successful start-ups use.
