Product Description
Product Description
-Vince Barabba, General Manager, Corporate Strategy and Knowledge Development, General Motors Corporation
Heidi Mason is Managing Director of the Bell-Mason Group, a Silicon Valley-based venture consulting firm and a Fellow with Diamond Cluster International. Tim Rohner is a Partner with DiamondCluster International, a management consulting firm, where he is a leader in the digital strategy and corporate venturing practices.
In this groundbreaking book, Heidi Mason and Tim Rohner-leading voices in venture strategy-prove that corporate venturing is the best way to intelligently and successfully test and launch innovative corporate growth strategies. Venturing drives corporate strategy by harnessing internal and external innovation, while limiting financial risks. The process starts with the right environment: the Venture Business Office-a group that directly connects individual ventures to the parent investor and the larger venture community.
Corporate venture programs have traditionally failed because they lacked a viable structure for business R&D. Drawing lessons from years of experience, Mason and Rohner unveil a new, four-step approach that will enable any business to:
· Create a diversified portfolio of ventures to drive new growth opportunities
· Optimally allocate people and capital
· Recognize-and remedy-failing ventures at any stage
· Keep venture programs connected to the parent firm's strategy, and integrated with R&D, M&A and Corporate Development
· Measure the results
· Continuously innovate
The authors also show how to utilize the proven Bell-Mason Venture Development Framework-derived from the time-tested best practices of successful new ventures-as a guiding tool throughout the process.
For executives, investors, and entrepreneurs alike, this book reveals the art-and the science-behind winning corporate venture programs.
