ABOUT THE MASTER CLASS
Having a lean, fast and customer-focused innovation process is critical to driving innovation as effectively as possible. However, many organisations, particularly larger ones, have flawed innovation processes.

Some of the most common problems we encounter when working with companies to improve their innovation process include:

A process that is overly bureaucratic; Decision making that is characterised by analysis paralysis; A slow and inflexible process; A process that starts with idea generation, rather than actually understanding what customer problems are going to be the most effective and profitable ones to solve; An unbalanced process that favours either the front end or back end.

If you can relate to any of the above problems, then don’t miss this Master Class. It will cover:

Beating the Odds When Launching a New Venture

Scott D. Anthony is the Managing Partner of Innosight, a boutique consulting and investment company that focuses on strategic transformation, disruptive change, and business model innovation.

27 November (9.15am – 11.15am) including morning refreshments

ABOUT THE MASTER CLASS
Innovation appears to be an irrational act. After all, most ideas fail to achieve any kind of commercial success. 50 percent of new businesses fail in their first four years. 75 percent of companies that receive venture capital investment never return any capital to their investments. Most corporations have innovation success rates ranging from 10 to 20 percent.

It’s natural to think that these poor success rates result from the failure to generate good ideas. However, what distinguishes success from failure isn’t the quality of the initial idea. It is the process by which an idea gets translated into impact.

In this Master Class, Innosight Managing Partner Scott Anthony will describe how to beat the odds when launching a new venture. He will draw on his company’s unique experience advising some of the world’s most innovative companies and investing in and incubating startup businesses in the U.S., Singapore, India, China, and Indonesia.
