In July, Bettina was guest at Kevin Eikenberry’s 1 hour teleseminar titled “Remarkable Leaders Think and Act Innovatively” discussing questions such as, ‘What are necessary preconditions for innovation?’, ‘What is the relationship between collaboration and innovation?’ and ‘What can leaders do to challenge and encourage innovation in their organisation?’. The insightful result of the interview can be found here.

There are now over 1,000 organisations that have ‘corporate venture units’, a third of which have been launched in the past three years. Corporate venturing is becoming more mature and there is still a need for learning and mistakes from the past to grow strategic value. Having this in mind, Andrew Gaule (who originally set up the Henley Incubator and stayed with it when it was bought by Global Management Consultancy Corven) and leaders of corporate venturing units around the world developed the Global Corporate Venturing two days training.
