Corporate Innovation Beyond the Core Business
Creating the new - Corporate Venture Building
Cultivate effective venture building as a major pillar of corporate innovation activities with our new 12-hour executive training programme.
Over 2 days, this course will provide you with essential knowledge and skills to master strategically relevant new business opportunities in an increasingly volatile, unpredictable, and complex environment.
Through a combination of lectures, interactive exercises, case studies, and engaging discussions, you will gain valuable insights and practical strategies on how to innovate when the classic management approach (analyse - evaluate - decide - execute) has become insufficient.
Corporate venture building offers vast opportunities for innovation. Understanding corporate innovation, corporate venture capital, corporate start-up partnering, and the importance of cultivating entrepreneurial leadership, can lead to great successes.
Held by seasoned practitioner and entrepreneurship expert Prof. Dr. Peter Borchers, and corporate venture specialist Patric Hoffmann, this course aims at helping corporations to strategically and successfully build new ventures as a part of their innovation activities.
