Utilize this comprehensive guide in your organization to create a
corporate incubator that protects innovative ideas from oppressive
corporate processes and culture and gives those ideas the resources and
environment they need to grow and have the best possible chance to
thrive.
Innovation is hard. Ironically, innovation in a large enterprise can be
even more difficult. Policies designed for mature businesses often crush
emerging businesses along with the entrepreneurial spirit of the
innovators. Procedures can make it difficult, even impossible, for
innovative employees to get their ideas funded, or even seen. As a
result, even companies with their roots in innovation can find
themselves unable to innovate, with a devastating impact on employee
morale and often resulting in the exodus of the most creative employees.
In Lean Intrapreneurship the authors leverage decades of personal
experience innovating in large enterprises to explore the root causes of
failure to innovate in established organizations, and offer a solution
to the innovator's dilemma. The book includes a recipe for creating a
repeatable program for innovating in large organizations, including
tools, tips, and strategies developed by the authors as they created an
innovative incubation program for a multi-billion-dollar technology
company. It also offers a wealth of information to help aspiring
intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life.
