In this talk, Kristof Van Tomme explores the importance of differentiation in the Drupal ecosystem, emphasizing that merely being a Drupal shop is no longer sufficient in today’s competitive landscape. He shares his insights on customer development, lean startups, and business model generation, which have influenced his approach at Pronovix. The presentation delves into the need for validating customer demand in Drupal projects and advocates for a broader diversification of business models within the community. In the latter part, Van Tomme discusses the potential for creating an ethical Drupal app store as a means to innovate without compromising the existing community values. This session is geared towards business owners and consultants aiming to enhance their understanding of these key concepts.
