Accelerators can be powerful tools to build and transform businesses in a short period of time, which is why they have spread like wildfire in the corporate world.
Designing the Successful Corporate Accelerator gives readers the tools to design, create, and manage successful corporate accelerators that achieve results time and time again. Authors Jules Miller and Jeremy Kagan are seasoned professionals in this space, and combine global market research, interviews with accelerator leaders, and their own experience launching and running accelerators to share what works-and what doesn't.?
The first half of the book takes a broader look at corporate innovation as a whole and how accelerators fit in, then the second half offers practical advice for how to launch, run, and manage world-class accelerator programs. Perfect for executives, employees, founders, investors, intrapreneurs, and entrepreneurs, Designing the Successful Corporate Accelerator is a practical guidebook for anyone with a passion for corporate innovation and entrepreneurship.
DISCOVER WHAT MAKES CORPORATE ACCELERATORS SUCCEED OR FAIL WITH THIS AUTHORITATIVE AND INSIGHTFUL NEW GUIDE
As more and more startup accelerators are launched by companies around the world, many fail to live up to their expectations and 60% shut down within two years. Corporate innovation leaders are understandably hesitant to join the ranks of the unsuccessful, and there were previously no authoritative resources on how to avoid common missteps and learn from the programs that actually achieve results. But in Designing the Successful Corporate Accelerator, authors Jules Miller and Jeremy Kagan deliver a practical guide to what works and what doesn't work for corporate accelerators and corporate innovation more broadly, so that executives can confidently create an effective catalyst for innovation and growth while avoiding the dreaded "innovation theater."
Based on their in-depth research and years of real-world experience as entrepreneurs, investors, academics, and corporate innovation executives, Miller and Kagan offer readers a deep dive into the world of corporate accelerators.
Ideal for executives, managers, employees, and founders, Designing the Successful Corporate Accelerator provides tactical guidance, a strategic framework, and a new model for building accelerator programs and corporate innovation initiatives that work.
