NEW BUSINESS AND FUNDING

In today’s business, most companies seek to diversify their portfolio or expand their position based on the evolving environment. Whether this is to find new profits against disrupting businesses or to capture new service potential or just to find new understanding in a new customer segment, a solid vehicle for this is internal venture creation. However, managing a growth venture where there are more unknowns and questions than known factors, can be a challenging task and finding a suitable manager is difficult and can cause delays if an unsuitable person is selected. In order to speed up growth and learning, we are able to take the role of venture managers, to boost the business fast and launch new pilot services

Corporate acceleration programs are larger vehicles to find potential partners through finding new venture founders or startups to invest into. Similar programs can also be used for open innovation programs with customers to create solid products across the markets. Facilitating these approaches requires solid problem solving and clear definition of the problem at hand. However, most of the value is created while facilitating the program and allocating resources between new initiatives to make sure that the most promising will accelerate further. This requires clear decision making criteria and fast processes in order to also keep the partners motivated in the program.

Various market forces, such as economic, competitive, regulatory, customer and technology driven, are altering the business landscape and pose challenges for most companies. Nevertheless, these forces and market trends provide also new ways to create and capture value. With the right combination of resources, capabilities, technology and tangible assets your company may reach a competitive advantage in the new market setting, and sometimes it will be more effective to start a whole new venture to capitalize on these kinds of opportunities instead of adjusting the business model or making a major transformation in an existing organization.
