Established companies need to innovate or risk losing market share.
This book provides a great playbook that managers can use to learn
about lean startup methods and apply them within their company. It
is a must read for any executive thinking about creating an
innovation ecosystem within their business.--Klaus Wagner, CEO at
Josera Petfood GmbH & Co. KG.
I believe the next wave of entrepreneurship and innovation will
belong to the established corporation. The Corporate Startup
provides a structured and practical approach to help companies make
their new business model building machine a reality.--Dr Marc
Sniukas, Author of The Art of Opportunity.
In my experience the biggest topic that is not covered well for
large corporations is the art of managing the innovation process
and output. The Corporate Startup provides a concrete framework to
manage innovation at the strategy, management and practice levels.
It connects the topics you likely know such as business model
design and lean startup to the bigger corporate picture.--Bob
Jansen, Founder at Firmhouse.
Tendayi, Dan and Esther are some of the most knowledgeable and
engaging members in the startup and corporate innovation community.
Not only is their personal knowledge and experience very valuable,
I've experienced them to generate profound impact through their
engagement with several of our, and others' grassroots initiatives.
This book allows anyone in the intrapreneurship field to access
that knowledge and create the same impact.--Leon Pals, Chairman at
Startup Foundation.

small companies transform through applying lean startup principles.
This book is full of insightful nuggets you immediately grasp and a
simple yet effective framework you can start implementing right
away.--Justin Coetsee, Co-Founder at Ignitor.
The 21st century organization, we're told, needs to be innovative,
creative and customer centered. That's all very well if you're a
disruptive startup. But what if you're an established organization
based on 20th century principles of Taylorism? How do you make your
big company as innovative as a small startup? If you want practical
advice from people who have been there and done that, there's no
better source than this book. Reading this book is like shadowing
the authors on a consulting assignment as they coach you on what
works and what doesn't.--David Travis, User Experience Consultant
and Managing Director of Userfocus.
This wonderful book helps companies apply practical and innovative
business model development methods using new ways of collaboration,
based on an ecosystems approach. The Corporate Startup provides a
great way of implementing innovation practices for companies to
