Entrepreneurship
Lead breakthrough innovation inside the company
When the core business demands today's results and new opportunities keep disappearing, protect the innovation portfolio, fund the experiments, and move what works into growth.
Is this route for you?
Consider this route when developing a new idea alongside an existing business, prioritising innovation projects or understanding why an organisation struggles to act.
Move beyond finding ideas to examine culture, incentives and management systems. Later programs focus on managing today’s business and future growth options as a portfolio.
One measure for two different kinds of work
Example reflection exercise: An established product and an experiment still seeking its customer are judged against the same quarterly revenue target. Which measures would you separate?
