"Corporate Explorer tells the story of how managers defy conventional wisdom to lead radical innovation from inside corporations. The positive reception to the publication of Corporate Explorer demonstrates the demand for practical resources to support managers building new businesses inside existing organizations. Managers in a wide range of companies, large and small, see the opportunities to leverage digital technologies to drive disruption growth. Many are schooled in popular innovation methodologies like Lean Startup and Design Thinking but have discovered that there is so much more needed to convert a good idea into a thriving, revenue generating business. Corporate Explorer provides an overarching framework, along with practical guidance, for how to manage this transition. However, there is no one right answer to this challenge which stretches across the disciplines of innovation, strategy, change, and leadership. Practitioners know that no one author has the whole answer' to such a broad set of issues, and they have a thirst for a practical resource that can bring the best input from across the corporate innovation community. The Corporate Explorer Fieldbook will fulfill this need by bringing a community of practitioners, advisors, and academics together to describe a great range of tools and techniques to support managers building new ventures inside corporations. It will feature chapters by heads of organizations who have adopted the Corporate Explorer strategy and have had immense success. They'll also share their pain points and the actions they took to work around their issues to achieve innovation. It will also feature a number of areas where readers can jot down their own list of strategies, action plans, etc."--

"The probability of failure in corporate innovation outside of a firm's core business is staggeringly high. Yet, the vast majority of existing books about innovation focus on startups and their entrepreneurs, methodologies, and ecosystems. Few, if any, focus on corporate innovation, those leaders who champion it, and how to maximize their chances of success. Corporate Explorer fills this gap. In January 2021 alone, there were over 10,000 Google searches for business innovation. Innovation is as much about method, strategy, organization, and culture, as it is about leadership and individual leaders. At the center of every story of corporate innovation is a 'Corporate Explorer' who dares to go where others do not, a leader capable of closing the gap between knowing what needs to be done to grow new businesses and actually doing so. We are living in a time of unparalleled disruption that has been heightened by Covid-19 and the digital revolution that is taking place across industries. Managers see these opportunities and know that firms that innovate during times of crisis are more successful in the long term than those that do not. This book gives them practical guidance for how they can act on these instincts, help their firms succeed, and grow their own careers."--
