A small team focused on practical lean thinking.
The Lean Business Guide is published by rikisoms.com, an independent editorial project based in Slovakia. We write and curate educational material about lean business principles for small teams and independent operators.
Our story
The Lean Business Guide began in 2021 as a set of working notes used to run short internal workshops on lean methods. We found that stripping the material down to plain habits, rather than frameworks with their own vocabulary, made it far easier for people to actually apply.
Since then, the project has grown into a library of guides covering MVPs, iteration cycles, resource efficiency and prioritisation. We remain a small, editorially independent team and are not affiliated with any consultancy, accelerator, or software vendor.
Editorial principles
Neutral framing
We describe how lean methods work rather than telling teams exactly how to run their business.
Practical over theoretical
Where a concept benefits from an example, we use simple, concrete scenarios rather than abstract theory alone.
No paid services
We do not sell coaching, consulting retainers, workshops, or any other paid product.
Based in Žilina, Slovakia
Our editorial team works from a small office in Žilina, in northwestern Slovakia. Content is written and reviewed in English for an international readership of founders and small-team operators.
