7 out of 8 attempts to build a new business from Innovation fail. That’s an inconvenient truth.
Serial business-builders are twice as likely to build new businesses than the ones who do not take it seriously. That’s a wake-up call.
Modern innovation frameworks like the Lean Scaleup make it clear: To improve, you need more than the latest and greatest canvas.
To improve, companies need an effective end-to-end process, an aligned Leadership and the right culture. The culture piece is decisive in the interface between Core/new business and in the new business itself as it needs to manage hypergrowth.
This is a panel discussion looking into “what exactly is the culture that we need” and “how to create it”, hosted by Frank Mattes (co-creator of the Lean Scaleup framework) and Hilton Barbour (thought leader with over 50 global interviews and ebooks on Digital Transformation and Culture), with Tracey Cook (SVP Nestle Canada, Transformation/Innovation) and David Brear (Founder of 11FS, voted British Banking Innovation of the Year).
Frank Mattes is an expert in corporate business-building, advisor to Corporate Innovation and Corporate Venturing, and author of two books on taking corporate innovation ideas to scale. In the last four years, Frank focused on the corporate business-building problem: why do large companies struggle dramatically in building new businesses from innovation - and how can they improve?
Together with 20+ industry leaders from many sectors, Frank co-created the Lean Scaleup™ framework. This framework comprises Best Practices in how to validate/scale corporate innovation initiatives and create new sizable, profitable businesses The Lean Scaleup is the latest addition to the corporate entrepreneurship toolbox. It takes the Lean Startup into the corporate context, extends it to an end-to end journey from idea to scale and comprises the Best Practices from some of the world’s finest companies. To help corporate innovation practitioners improve in business-building, Frank founded the consulting agency Lean Scaleup and published the book with the same name in May 2021. The book was co-written with two dozens of corporate practitioners and two leading business schools, UC Berkeley and the London Business School.
