Very helpful to get ideas on how to extend these processes out of the physical office space - much appreciated.

I'd be *really* interested to hear more about the challenges you've faced with legacy corporate *cultures* and their adoption of Lean UX.  How do you get a waterfall culture (that thinks they're preventing risk by writing huge piles of documentation) to  feel safe trying agile UX?  What are the dangers?  I can sell the concept, but a heads-up re: what to expect once we're running with the process would be greatly appreciated. :) Not quite what I expected — I popped over here after listening to your UIE Brain Sparks podcast follow-up to your Lean UX seminar.  You mentioned this blog entry addressed the challenges of working with a large, legacy corporation using Lean UX.  But your anecdote is really about the challenges of converting an old system rather than designing a brand new one.
