Successful Innovation with Corporate Venturing

Successful Innovation with Corporate Venturing

Get out of the building to realize innovative growth!


61 MINS

PRESENTED IN ENGLISH

Today, many organizations still rely heavily on their own innovation capabilities. Instead, they must get out of the building to become more successful in innovative growth. With this we mean to continuously tap into external networks, pro-actively searching and collaborating with startups, scaleups or other external parties to balance their internal innovation efforts.

Corporate Venturing has a distinct place in the innovation mix. It sits next to corporate innovation (build) and acquisition (buy) as a key driver for growth. Corporate Venturing is gaining importance as an effective means of innovation over building up internal innovation capabilities.

In this webinar we will introduce the concept of corporate venturing and how to be successful at it. We introduce our RevelX corporate venturing framework, explore the key corporate venturing steps, and drive into the main challenges.

Together with our Innovation technology partner Qmarkets, we also will present how best in class software tooling can support you in discovering the most promising (unknown) trends, technologies, solutions, startups, scaleups and grownups.

In this webinar, you will learn:

Why Corporate Venturing should be part of your innovation growth mix?

How to adapt the RevelX Corporate Venturing process framework

How to make effective use of best-in-class software tooling in the corporate venturing discovery process

Innovation Portfolio Management

Innovation Portfolio Management

Innovation is saying ‘no’ to 1,000 things


NOV. 17, 2022 | THURSDAY | 10AM CET

PRESENTED IN ENGLISH

Innovation Portfolio Management

Innovation Portfolio Management is all about creating the right balance in your innovation portfolio between short-term and long-term innovations, between low-risk and big-bet initiatives, between incremental and disruptive/transformation innovations, and between starting new projects and killing the non-viable ones.

Successful innovators master the art of Innovation Portfolio Management. They monitor innovation projects on well-defined financial or non-financial metrics and manage their progress with the use of Growth boards, Stage-gate models and Metered funding principles. But they are also aware of all the pitfalls, like the internal politics, hierarchical influences (are you familiar with the HIPPO effect?) and many more.

Based on our RevelX Innovation Readiness Benchmark data, Innovation Portfolio Management is the least developed innovation capability of all organizations. However, the high performers in innovation rate significantly better on this. 62% of them actively monitors innovation projects on well-defined metrics and stops projects that are not successful. This in sharp contrast to the low performers of which only 14% does this.

In this webinar, you will learn:

What are the best practices in creating and managing a well-balanced and healthy innovation portfolio?

How to set-up a good monitoring and portfolio management process with the use of stage-gates, well-defined metrics, Growth Boards and Metered funding principles?

How to avoid pitfalls and common mistakes in Innovation Portfolio Management?

Creating a Culture of Innovation

innovation webinar logo

Create a Culture of Innovation

Download new ‘software’ into your organization


58 MINS

PRESENTED IN ENGLISH

Innovation culture and leadership are the biggest differentiators between strong and weak innovative growers.

Too often, companies get stuck in discussing innovation strategy and processes. While ignoring the fact their innovation culture is the root cause of their lack of innovation.

As Steve Jobs once observed: “Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.”

In an innovative culture, creative thinking is stimulated, smart failures are celebrated, and people are empowered to initiate and execute innovation. Furthermore, business leaders are committed to innovation, personally involved, and reward innovation.

So, to get the most out of people, you need a different kind of ‘software’ in your organization to foster them. Or in normal business language: you need a new business culture.

In this webinar, you will learn:

Why culture is so important and why it’s so hard to change?

How can you develop an innovation culture in your organization?

What leadership should do and what they should not do?
