He is managing partner at Clareo, a global growth strategy consultancy.

Grow from Within: Mastering Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Taking innovation to the next level, corporate entrepreneurship is the process of building new businesses within an established organization—new businesses that are distinct from the core company but that leverage some of its most powerful assets. Grow from Within examines:

- The fundamentals of designing a new business

- The four dominant models of corporate entrepreneurship

- Ways to align your innovation program with your strategy

- Leadership requirements for developing new businesses

Innovation is critical to business success and growth, but it’s only the first step. Without strategically driven processes to turn insights into growing businesses, even the best ideas can fail. Creativity is often serendipitous; innovation management should not be.
