Amantha Imber is the founder of Inventium, Australia’s only innovation consultancy to use a scientifically proven approach. Amantha just got back from touring some of Silicon Valley’s biggest tech companies – think AirBnb, Google and Twitter to name a few.

In this HerBusiness podcast, Suzi Dafnis interviews Amantha about the one idea that every single company kept bringing up – “scrappiness.”

Listen in to find out more about:

  • What running a “scrappy” business looks like, and why it’s so important for start-ups and small businesses
  • The balance between developing new products/ideas/service and improving the old
  • How “scrappy” is different from lazy, careless, or half-baked
  • Learning from failure and being wrong
  • How Amantha teaches her clients to be scrappier
  • What minimum viable product is and how it’s related to scrappiness
