He’s the author of numerous books and an expert on how lean principles can be used to drive innovation. You use the term “ScaleUp” …how is that different than startup and why does it deserve a special designation? Your subtitle refers to “lean” principles; I’m assuming they respond to these restraining forces?

A “lean” approach amplifies both profits and purpose. The obvious place to turn is innovation approaches such as design thinking , rapid prototyping , and open innovation. Thus, if you hope to move the needle appreciably, you’ll need to design and validate an engine that will accelerate growth over time.
