- Choose the right vehicle for each venture (build, partner, invest or buy) and design an effective path to scale
- Set up the governance, manage the internal dynamics and lead the people that make new ventures succeed, turning innovation into a standard practice within the organization
- Leave with an Innovation-for-Growth plan for your organization, with clear priorities, next steps and measurable outcomes
