The Art Of The In-House Start-Up

Description:

What if you started your own company… inside your current company? In this session, a team of playful mischief-makers from a large organization will share their accessible, field-tested approach to launching and running an award-winning start-up… inside their company. Based on first-person experience and hands-on research, you’ll learn a practical, field-tested, step-by-step approach to launching an autonomous organization that creates products and services customers love… while still maintaining a connection to your larger corporation’s mission (and support structures). You’ll discover how to turn your current company into a customer… and how to serve your company’s customers too.

Takeaways

  1. Practical ways to find an idea, build a team, launch experiments, connect with customers, and tell your story out loud (but not TOO loud).
  2. How to build a mindset of autonomy & resilience while working in a space that emphasizes following orders and avoiding failure.
  3. Why the phrase “Let’s Try This” is a magic formula for innovation… and why it’s so hard to say. (Plus, we’ll help you figure out how to say it!)
