In 2022, Frank worked with leading companies from many industries on upgrading their business-building approach and on refining the "How To" framework for corporate business building.

The diversity of companies and industries (for instance, TravelTech, White Goods, Trucks, FMCG, MedTech, Construction and Energy) helped a lot to sharpen the arguments and to make decisive distinctions..

In his talk, Frank will update you on the major insights.
These insights and half a dozen case studies will be in the Lean Scaleup book, 2nd edition, that will be published in Q2/2023.

Frank Mattes is an expert in corporate business-building, advisor to Corporate Innovation and Corporate Venturing, and author of two books on corporate business building. 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 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.
