We take a look at how this approach can help you move beyond Horizon 1 concepts and create disruptive new business models and markets.

About this event
Incubation of innovation in large corporates works well for “Horizon 1” types of initiatives, where you can rely upon your existing teams, capabilities, metrics and processes, but what happens if you need to move past Horizon 1 and take your innovations beyond the core?

Everything becomes more complex as you move towards new business models and markets and aim to build more disruptive ventures; this is where the ‘excubation’ model comes in.

Excubating innovation means relying on an “external womb” to bring your beyond-the-core concepts from ideas to impact, protecting them from the corporate “antibodies” of “too small, different, too risky” and growing them until they are big enough to be re-incorporated. External entrepreneurs, working with selected corporate “intra-preneurs” and often financed by professional investors, and can be the solution to succeed in Horizon 2 and 3 innovations.

Join Alceo Rapagna, to learn more about using this approach to help successfully scale your ventures. This webinar is interactive, and there will be time for Q+A at the end of the session.
