This is too good not to share. The team at a startup called Buffer created a list of Lean Startup concepts in the guise of popular internet “memes.” If you don't get many of the jokes — congratulations, you don't spend too much time on the interwebs.

Check out the rest of the list and the Buffer social media app.

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways
