"Don't simplify. Delete"As business leaders, when we're overwhelmed, our go-to questions often revolve around simplification—can we find a simpler way, eliminate steps, or use fewer resources? However, a more fundamental question to ask might be: Is this task necessary in the first place?It's a common belief that entrepreneurs excel at solving problems, but the most successful ones are those who sidestep problems altogether. This is a significant lesson that we could adopt more widely in the corporate world.In the latest episode of the How to Live Podcast, Arjun Purkayastha shares potent insights on integrating entrepreneurial thinking into the corporate sphere. As the Senior Vice President and Managing Director at Reckitt, and a dear friend, Arjun brings a wealth of experience from his tenure at leading MNCs like Procter & Gamble, across diverse regions including Singapore, South Korea, India, the UK, and China. What truly distinguishes him in the corporate landscape is his entrepreneurial mindset—a skill I've had the privilege of observing firsthand. His approach has been continually refined through his engagements with startups, and today, he serves as a Board Director and Strategic Advisor to multiple acclaimed ventures, including the Bombay Shaving Company.Arjun's notable achievements include winning 7 Cannes Lions, 6 Effies, and being recognized as one of the UK's top 50 customer experience professionals.During our conversation, we explore bringing an entrepreneurial mindset to the workplace, discussing topics like the fine line between intelligence and arrogance, when to make quick decisions and when to wait, having a bullshit detector, and the fundamental qualities of courage and credibility, among other insights.This episode is filled with wisdom and practical advice that will undoubtedly enhance your leadership skills.Episode Shownoteshttps://howtolive.life/episode/065-corporate-entrepreneurship-with-arjun-purkayasthaRelated Episode#031 Entrepreneurship: Taking the leap of faith with Rameez AnsarSpotify: https://howtolive.life/ep31spotifyApple Podcasts: https://howtolive.life/ep31appleContact Arjunhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/arjunpurkayastha/Leave us a messagehttps://howtolive.life/contactAbout Sharad Lalhttps://www.sharadlal.net/Follow usLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharadlal24/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PodcastHowtolive/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcasthowtolive/
Today, my guest is Vinaya Mallya, is a seasoned IT professional, who has played leadership roles in the corporate sector, then was an entrepreneur building a team and moving on to create solutions to impact the social sector.In this conversation, :Vinaya shares her career path, including experiences in corporate IT, startups, and the social sector.Early Career in ITVinaya's original plan was to study civil engineering, but her principal encouraged her to switch to computer science due to her gender.Despite initial challenges and limited practical experience, a project in COBOL sparked her interest in software development.Her husband, an IT engineer, encouraged her to pursue a career in the field.Finding Passion at InfosysAfter getting married, Vinaya joined Infosys despite initial reservations.The initial training period was difficult, but the collaborative work environment with diverse teams motivated her.She discovered her passion for problem-solving, particularly collective problem-solving in a team setting.Work-Life Balance ChallengesMarrying young and having a demanding job at Infosys presented work-life balance challenges.Her supportive in-laws and husband, who encouraged her to focus on her career for the first five years, helped manage the situation.Traveling abroad for work required additional compromises to maintain family harmony.Leaving Infosys and Starting a StartupInspired by her father's entrepreneurial spirit, Vinaya dreamt of creating jobs someday.After 11 years at Infosys, the need to care for her children and the distance from her husband in Malaysia led to her resignation.Her mother's strong words about the impact on their children became a turning point.Starting an Animation FranchiseTaking a break from corporate life, Vinaya explored franchise opportunitiesAnimation, a growing field, emerged as the final choice, and she started a franchise of an animation institute.While the business didn't generate significant profit, Vinaya takes pride in providing a platform for young talent to launch their careers.Work in the Social SectorVinaya's entry into the social sector was accidental. Initially, she volunteered one day a week, but her time commitment gradually increased to five days a week.The transition from corporate IT to the social sector required adjustments. Vinaya had to learn to appreciate the value of creative solutions and a less structured work environment.She also enjoyed building a team of all women who could relate to the challenges faced by the target population.Challenges of an All-Women TeamVinaya acknowledges that managing an all-women team has its challenges, such as difficulty with travel and limited budget.However, she believes the team's ability to connect with the target population is a significant benefit.Career AdviceFor Early Career Professionals: Vinaya recommends new graduates invest five years in their careers, being open to learning new skills and flexible in their work approach.For Mid-Career Professionals: She acknowledges that some individuals may need to decelerate their careers at a certain point due to life circumstances. However, Vinaya emphasizes the possibility of re-entering the workforce or even transitioning to a new field altogether.After 10 years of experience, Vinaya suggests that professionals consider how they can "give back" to their field or community.OverallVinaya's career path demonstrates the value of flexibility and lifelong learning.Her experiences highlight the opportunities for women in both the IT sector and the social sector.Vinaya has close to 24 years of varied experience in the IT services industry, and more recently in the social sector. She started her career with Infosys, where she spent a decade amassing technical knowledge and honing her management and customer relationship skills. During her stint in Infosys, she got the opportunity to work in different geographical cultures spanning America, Europe & Asia. During the phase of motherhood, she shifted from the hectic corporate job to founding her own startup, a design services company for training and development of multimedia solutions. She was selected for Goldman Sachs-ISB sponsored – “10000 World Women Entrepreneurs Management Program” in 2011. Through a common network, she found an opportunity to get associated in the social sector. At Dhwani Foundation, Vinaya engages with NGOs to help them adopt technology platforms to smoothen their operations. Her motto in life has been to keep an open mind and contribute towards any opportunity that comes along. This attitude has helped her have a very diverse career in her 2+ decades of professional life and hence has not had a boring moment so far !

Big Cat Rescue Entrepreneurial Audit Jaclyn Gutierrez & Josh Cooper ENT6930 Introduction One of the main staples of Corporate Entrepreneurship at the University of Florida involves performing an entrepreneurial audit. This audit is to be performed by a team of graduate students (Jaclyn Gutierrez and Josh Cooper) by the permission of the executive team of Big Cat Rescue. The purpose of the entrepreneurial audit is to measure the frequency and intensity of entrepreneurship being performed at the company. In addition, it highlights ways the company can incite increased innovation and entrepreneurial action through their employees. Howard and Carole Baskin gave a wonderful tour of the Big Cat Rescue campus and allowed themselves as well as others a part of their team to be interviewed. To begin it is very important to understand the concept of entrepreneurship and corporate entrepreneurship in the context it is being discussed in the class. Entrepreneurship has many different definitions, but the majority of them include the same elements. They way we define entrepreneurship in the course is “the process of creating value by bringing together a unique combination of resources to exploit an opportunity” (Morris). On the other hand, corporate entrepreneurship holds many names including, “organizational entrepreneur,” “intrapreneurship,” and “corporate venturing.”(Morris) By examining the definition of entrepreneurship above it becomes clear that entrepreneurship is not specified by organizational context. As a result, “Corporate entrepreneurship is a term used to describe entrepreneurial behavior inside established mid-sized and large organizations” (Morris). Thus corporate entrepreneurship relies on management and employees to innovate in every facet of the business. Such entrepreneurship is paramount to helping companies that hope to establish a sustainable competitive advantage in the market. The entrepreneurial audit aims to engage Big Cat Rescue in reflection of the entrepreneurial mindset present at the company. The audit hopes to measure this presence in Big Cat Rescue as well as in the employees. In the interest of the audit's purpose, entrepreneurship must be quantified in a manner that enables Big Cat Rescue to decipher the amount of entrepreneurship present in their company as well as compared to other nonprofits similar to them. This entrepreneurial audit of Big Cat Rescue will target aspects inside of the company that foster entrepreneurship. The aspects inside of Big Cat Rescue that will be evaluated are strategy, and culture. Background Big Cat Rescue is an animal sanctuary located in Tampa, Florida committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of big cats. The sanctuary is the largest in the United States serving specifically to big cats and is staunch on ending the private trade and ownership of big cats. The nonprofit has evolved overtime and started when the founder Carole Baskin rescued numerous bobcat kittens from a fur farm. Originally, the company bred and sold some big cats early on, but shifted focus once Carole Baskin came to the realization that big cats should not be pets nor bred in captivity. As a result, Big Cat Rescue became determined to outlaw the private trade and ownership of Big Cats in the United States through legislation. Pushing legislation has become a main focus for Big Cat Rescue and they engage their visitors to become active in joining their efforts. Strategy Entrepreneurship in strategy is key for companies that hope to stay ahead of their competition. An entrepreneurial strategy is defined in the course as “a vision-directed, organization-wide reliance on entrepreneurial behavior that purposefully and continuously rejuvenates the organization and shapes the scope of its operations through the recognition and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunity' (Morris). When this strategy is applied to organizations it enables the company to prosper in even the most competitive markets. Most organizations, however, find difficulty in balancing their efforts of seeking the full potential of their current markets and products versus innovating to find new markets and products. Finding the correct balance can be a difficult process, but well worth the reward. Applying this to Big Cat Rescue, we will focus on the company's market strategy and the company's strategy for developing innovation internally in order to attain organizational goals. In order to address the entrepreneurial presence in strategy at Big Cat Rescue, we will highlight several key factors and discuss the entrepreneurial activities that exist in each. The key factors we will examine are the development of an entrepreneurial vision, increasing opportunity recognition, promoting the need to be innovative, placing value on employee's ideas, and acknowledging the importance of failure. The first area we will highlight is the development of an entrepreneurial vision. All great organizations have clear concise visions that drive the company to a larger overarching goal. In the case of Big Cat Rescue, their vision has evolved overtime, but one key element has stayed consistent. That element is that the care and rehabilitation of big cats has been paramount to their beginning goals and transformed into the vision they have today, which is to end the private trade and ownership of Big Cats. Throughout the tour and multiple interviews it was clear from the employees and upper level management where they hope to go and how they hope to get there. Big Cat Rescue prides itself on pursuing legislations as a means of protecting Big Cats. Their actions match their vision and this is shown in multiple ways. The first is on their website, where the first page shows visitors the most important thing they can do to help protect Big cats. This involves messaging various political figures in order to push bills through Congress. In addition, Big Cat Rescue prompts visitors to their sanctuary to call their government representatives as well. Another area of emphasis is increasing opportunity recognition. This is an area Big Cat Rescue excelled in and it was evident throughout our tour. The founder, Carole Baskin, was extremely keen on being at the forefront of any possible opportunities that gave the sanctuary new and different ways of donating. An example she mentioned during the interview involved a new feature of Facebook that allowed users to donate easily to certain charities. The company utilizes various social media accounts to seek more awareness and increase donations. The ability to recognize new opportunities also relies on upper management's ability to let employees be innovative. It was obvious throughout that employees could share new opportunities that they found and would have them welcomed by management. This is crucial for a company that hopes to continuously be on the lookout for new opportunities. This transitions to the next key area, which is placing value on employees' ideas. Carole Baskin mentioned in the interview that when employees come up to her with problems most of the time she responds with some variation of, “You're smart you can figure it out.” Carole says this to make a point that she values her employees and their judgment. This is very beneficial for a company that hopes to have an entrepreneurial strategy. Big Cat Rescue does not hire externally and promotes from within their pool of volunteers. This combined with the attitude that the employees are able to solve their own problems without running to management to solve it emphasizes that they place value on their employees' ideas. The final key area in an entrepreneurial strategy is recognizing the importance of failure. The ability for employees to be comfortable with failure must come from the top down. Carole Baskin made it very clear to us that she embodies this and stated in the interview, “Fail fast, and move on.” An example that she provided involved raising chickens in the sanctuary. This move was made in order to keep from feeding the cats' commercial chicken, which has pesticides and antibiotics in their meat. Unfortunately, this new opportunity failed because they could not grow chickens fast enough and they did not provide enough meat for the cats once fully grown. As a result, Big Cat Rescue had to pivot and begin feeding them other sources of meat, but the lesson of the importance of failure became evident. Culture Culture represents the collective values and behaviors that develop the specific environment that the company operates in. At the epicenter of Big Cat Rescue's culture is the desire to help protect all big cats. While this may seem obvious it was clear to us the importance of big cats' well being through management and employees dedication and fervor to their individual jobs. The company does an excellent job of recognizing their employees and this is shown through multiple pictures of employees on various organizational charts displayed throughout the sanctuary. Big Cat Rescue uses a color coordinated shirt system to display the experience levels of their volunteers. The volunteers move to different color shirts, the more years they gain volunteering at the sanctuary. This is a clear and easy way of illustrating the company's organizational hierarchy through experience. It also allows volunteers to easily be able to seek out more knowledgeable volunteers if they have a question or if there is a problem. The shirts serve as a visual representation of the volunteers dedication to the animals and are worn with pride as a volunteer progress to higher shirts. Big Cat Rescue has a Code of Honor for the sanctuary that was developed by volunteers. This is code of honor was developed by the volunteers and serves as a platform for how volunteers should act while on the job. The company's' ability to put the code of honor in the volunteers hands is very empowering for the volunteers and shows the commitment of the company to valuing their employees. The company furthers this by establishing a committee comprised of Carole Baskin and her daughter and two volunteers that meet weekly. This committee discusses any problems or issues that may have come up and seeks ways to resolve them in a way that's beneficial to all parties. Big Cat Rescue defines their volunteers as rescuers. This was an important point to realize because it denotes a greater sense of importance for the volunteers. In addition, the executive team at Big Cat Rescue exhibits a high sense of urgency. This urgency is rooted in the belief that legislation will soon be passed to ban the ownership and trade of big cats. Customer service is very important to Big Cat Rescue and each member of the executive team that we interviewed echoed this. Jeff Kremer, The Director of Donor Appreciation, was most vocal on the subject and explained his attention to detail in regard to customer service. He mentioned how important it was to give personal attention to donors and notes that donors have become friends. He seeks to create personal relationships with supporters and donors and this mentality keeps donations flowing back to Big Cat Rescue. One of his biggest points was to present as many options as possible to donors as well as finding prospective donors that take as little of Big Cat Rescue's resources as possible. This helps illustrates the entrepreneurial mindset that is so prevalent throughout the company. Core Competencies Big Cat Rescue and it's leadership demonstrate numerous entrepreneurial competencies that have been vital to the company's success The entrepreneurial competencies include: opportunity recognition, opportunity assessment, risk management, conveying a compelling vision, tenacity, creative problem-solving, resource leveraging, guerilla skills, value creation, maintain focus yet adapt, resilience, self efficacy, and building and using networks. Throughout Big Cat Rescue's existence they have displayed all of these competencies in some form, however certain competencies stick out. The most important competency they show is their ability to convey a compelling mission. Their vision has evolved overtime, but has been crucial to their success as it is manifested in every employee's' tireless efforts. Another competency embodied at Big Cat Rescue is a high level of self-efficacy. This entrepreneurial competency begins at the top of the organization and trickles down to the volunteers. Carole Baskin instills a high level of efficacy in her employees through the expectation that each individual was hired for a reason and thusly has the ability to solve the majority of the issues that may arise. Since Big Cat Rescue is a non-profit and seeks donations it is very important they maintain an expansive network. This is another entrepreneurial competency that the company epitomizes and maintains to be successful. Structure and Human Resources The structure for Big Cat Rescue is set up in a manner that promotes the entrepreneurial mindset. The structure is extremely flat for a non-profit of that size and allows for easy communication between the management team, employees, and volunteers. The structure is set up so any issues that arise can be communicated and addressed in a timely manner. This structure also benefits the entrepreneurial presence in the company because it easily allows volunteers and employees the opportunity to express any new and innovative ideas to top management. From our surveys, we gathered that most of the employees and volunteers feel they have the right amount of direction as well as ability to speak up if needed. The human resources side of Big Cat Rescue is simple. They hire from within their volunteer pool, and this helps keep turnover low while also creating a dedicated group of employees. Methodology In order to gain a proper understanding of the entrepreneurial intensity and the inner workings of Big Cat Rescue, we analyzed their website, interviewed 4 members of upper management and sent out a survey to the employees of the company. We were very fortunate to have every employee respond and participate in our survey. Interviews We spent an hour each with Howard Baskin, Jeff Kremer, Carole Baskin, and Gale Ingham. We asked them questions about their backgrounds and the day to day of the organization. Some of our questions asked about how communication worked in the company, how were decisions made, and how much ownership of tasks do employees have. We crafted these questions to understand how often the company pivots, what their culture is like, and how entrepreneurial they are. Howard Baskin joined the organization in 2003 and helped turn the company around. He is the treasurer and CFO, having a background in finance and working with small for profit companies. Howard Baskin was able to transform Big Cat Rescue from a non-profit that was barely breaking even to one with $3.7 million in their bank. Jeff Kremer is Big Cat Rescue's Director of Donor Appreciation. His job is to coordinate fundraising and to maintain relationships with donors. A lot of his job is taking pictures and videos of the cats and sending them out to donors. He explained to us that a good way to maintain relationships with their donors is to find out which cats are their favorites and to keep these donors updated on these cats. He has increased donations by having communication with donors that doesn't involve asking for donations, which improves the organization's relationships with the donors and makes them want to give even more. Carole Baskin is the CEO and Founder of Big Cat Rescue. She began the sanctuary in 1992 with her now late husband, after rescuing bobcat kittens from a fur farm. Carole Baskin had gotten involved in rescuing the kittens after already owning one bobcat and her husband wanting another. They stumbled in a fur farm and bought all the kittens in order to save them from their death. Carole Baskin attempted to rehome the kittens but eventually realized that most people are incapable of giving these animals good homes and that this trade needs to stop. She now views herself as the cheerleader of the organization. Carole spends her time supporting her employees and volunteers while brainstorming new ideas to further the organization. Gale Ingham is the Operations Manager of the organization. We met her after she had spent a significant amount of time trying to wrangle a pair of bobcat kittens, which gave us a special insight about her day to day. Gale's began her involvement with Big Cat Rescue as a visitor. She was new to the area and took a tour and decided to stay for a volunteer orientation and has been volunteering ever since. Gale was an accountant before she became a full time employee at Big Cat Rescue. Survey As we mentioned earlier, we were lucky enough to have every single employee answer our survey about the entrepreneurial climate of the organization. Getting a 100% response rate says a lot about the company without even looking at the results. This is clearly a motivated and close-knit group. Most of the surveys weren't procrastinated on and were completed the day after they were distributed. We distributed our survey on Qualtrics, which enabled us to see how quickly our surveys were completed and how long each person took on the survey. On average our survey took about 5 minutes to complete. We had one outlier who left the survey open for 5 days, which we excluded from this calculation. Our survey taking 5 minutes shows that they did take time to read and carefully answering our questions. We used questions that could be answered with long written responses and on a scale from 1-5. As expected, we received only a few answers for the open-ended questions, but the answers we did receive were helpful. For the most part, employees gave rather similar answers to each of our questions. For questions about employees being free to make decisions and about the company having open communication, most respondents said they agreed or strongly agreed. Employees agreed that rule breaking/bending is not encouraged, which is to be expected when you think about the nature of Big Cat Rescue's rules. Most of their rules revolve around animal handling and care. Employees don't have strict guidelines to follow though when it comes to their daily activities. In many questions of the survey, there was one respondent who seemed to be in disagreement with what everyone else was saying. This individual seems to view Big Cat Rescue as having a rigid chain of command and they do not feel that they have a lot of freedom in their job. We are unsure about the position of this individual so we don't know if they feel so micromanaged because they are working directly with the cats, which is a position that has a lot of controls, or because of another factor. Despite this one responder, most employees seemed to agree that they had a lot of freedom in their role and that their input was taken seriously. Entrepreneurial Audit We've found that Big Cat Rescue is an incredibly entrepreneurial company. They haven't been afraid to make major pivots when they've been needed and are always on the cutting edge. From supporting new legislation to traveling around the world to support other rescues, they frequently find new ways to support their cause of protecting big cats. Below we will discuss why Big Cat Rescue falls here on the entrepreneurial grid. Degree Big Cat Rescue is a fairly innovative organization. They've found ways to always be ahead of the trends in nonprofits and how to innovate within their organization to ensure success. One of the most innovative practices Big Cat Rescue participates in is their hiring practice. They very rarely hire from the outside. For instance, when the organization realized that they needed someone to head up donations and maintain relationships with donors, they looked internally rather than find someone who has worked in the field before. They selected a dedicated volunteer, Jeff Kremer, to fill the position. They had learned from past mistakes that it is much more efficient to find someone who is already passionate about their cause and train them for a position, than to find someone who is trained and experienced. Big Cat Rescue also places an incredible amount of importance on educating their volunteers, which is not something that always happens in a non-profit environment. Big Cat Rescue had classes offered that teach their volunteers important skills like first aid for humans and animals and how to become properly involved in legislation. Big Cat Rescue is also innovative in the variety of ways they finance their organization. They solicit donations and they also offer tours of their facility at varying costs. They offer 11 different types of visits to their facility, including multiple tours, weddings, parties, and field trips. Big Cat Rescue's website also features a donation page that is filled with different ways to support the organization, including donating Bitcoins, sponsorship options, and an Amazon wish list. Frequency Big Cat Rescue is rather frequent in the number of entrepreneurial events. The day we visited they had just launched a new class for their volunteers and a new donation tool. Since they are a rather small organization it is easy for them to move things around to better serve their purpose. There isn't much red tape when it comes to the business and fundraising end of the organization since there is frequent communication between the employees and upper management. We heard in our interviews and from our employee surveys that open communication is encouraged and that most employees didn't feel like they were micromanaged and that they had a lot of freedom in how they could accomplish their tasks. Something we heard often during our visit was “You're smart, figure it out”. This seems to be the unofficial mantra of Big Cat Rescue; no one needs to be told how to do things, you're smart enough to figure it out so go and do it. Big Cat Rescue has created a culture in which frequent entrepreneurial events are encouraged. If someone has an idea, it's easy to talk it out with management and they are listened to. This makes it easy for the organization to embrace good ideas and implement them quickly. That being said, in other aspects of the organization Big Cat Rescue doesn't really change. They've had three major pivots in vision in their history. The first came when they decided to stop breeding some of the smaller breeds of cats such a bobcats, the second when they stopped allowing humans to interact with the cats, and the third when they became heavily active in legislation. They were able to make this first pivot in 1997 and the last two in 2003. The first pivot was originally fought by Carole Baskin's then husband. He really enjoyed having the bobcat kittens around and he believed that by breeding them they were helping to preserve the species and grow its gene pool. After his disappearance, there was no more disagreement on breeding and Big Cat Rescue was able to easily transition into being only a sanctuary. When Carole proposed ending interaction with the animals, she faced a lot of fight from within her organization. Most of her employees and volunteers were stunned by the idea. Many guests came to Big Cat Rescue because they wanted to interact and take pictures with the cats and the employees and volunteers felt that no one would come if Big Cat Rescue stopped offering this. They knew that there are many other sanctuaries that visitors could choose to support and still get to interact with the animals. The fear of losing guests was based on the misunderstanding of why people came to the rescue. The employees and volunteers thought people cared most about interacting with the animals, when in reality they were satisfied with observing and learning about the cats. Visitors understood that it was in the best interest for the animals if they did not interact directly with humans and they respected this. Eventually, Carole's staff accepted the idea. They realized that it is better for the animals and that by allowing guests to interact with the cats they sent a mixed message. The sanctuary was founded to show that these animals do not make good pets, but interactions conflicted with this vision. Carole believes that by ending contact with the cats, Big Cat Rescue has stopped sending out a muddled message and has actually increased visitors because of this clear mission. The third pivot came with the realization that Big Cat Rescue was not doing anything to solve the problem of big cats being kept as pets. They were giving the cats they rescued great life time homes, but there were still countless cats being sold off as pets to homes that really could not support them. The pivot to add legislation to their mission was regarded as a great step forward to their organization. It wasn't fought like the first two pivots, but was embraced since everyone could see its importance. The employees and volunteers were happy to work towards supporting legislation that aligned with the organization's goals and the sanctuary shifted some aspects of its day to day to enable working towards legislation. Big Cat Rescue has put quite a bit resources towards finding good representatives to support their bills and have allocated a space on their property to encourage people to sign petitions to end the selling of big cats as pets. They also utilize their social media accounts to help get the word out there of legislation they support and to encourage people to contact their representatives about the bills. Big Cat Rescue innovates often on a small scale. Their day to day gets shaken up all the time, which is a big part of the nature of running a non-profit organization, especially one with animals. They are always ready to try something new and open communication is a core value that is vital to the survival of Big Cat Rescue. That being said, Big Cat Rescue has only had 3 major innovative shifts in vision, which is rather infrequent. SWOT Strength The strongest strengths of Big Cat Rescue are its leadership, staff, and vision. The employees and volunteers clearly believe in their leaders and it motivates them to come and work hard. Their staff is another strength because they are so incredibly dedicated and hardworking. They really believe in the cause and don't mind making sacrifices to help out the animals. Big Cat Rescue's strong vision is the foundation of all of the organization. It helps keep everyone motivated and working towards their goal of ending big cats in private homes. They are aware that this vision would essentially put them out of business and they embrace that. The finances are a clear strength of Big Cat Rescue since they have become so financially sound since the addition of Howard Baskin to the group. He has helped to ensure that they can take care of their cats until their deaths. Donor relations are another area they excel in. They have figured out how to engage their donors without soliciting them for money. By keeping up with their donors, they create a friendly relationship and it helps keep the donors coming back. Weakness A weakness for Big Cat Rescue is that a large part of their revenue comes from donations and visits. If something happens to donors they rely on, Big Cat Rescue may not be able to function. They do generate their own revenue through tours and special events; donations are still key to their financial stability. Government regulation is considered to be a weakness since the rules of regulating the care of these animals change often which requires Big Cat Rescue to stay on top of regulation and be ready to adjust to new rules at all times. This utilizes a lot of time and energy that could be spent in other ways. Opportunity Legislation is a massive opportunity for Big Cat Rescue to reach their goal of ending private ownership of big cats. Without legislation they wouldn't really have a way to end the trade and ownership of these animals. Threats While Big Cat Rescue does not view other sanctuaries as threats or competitions, they still do compete for donations and support. If annual donations that Big Cat Rescue has come to expect go to another organization, it could mean disaster for Big Cat Rescue. This will more than likely not ever actually happen since Big Cat Rescue works hard to maintain relationships with donors and they have saved up a lot of money so that they do not have to worry as much about getting enough donations to feed the animals every year. Big Cat Rescue actively pursues passing legislation that makes it impossible to own big cats as pets and while legislation is almost always their ally in this mission, it is always possible that legislation could be passed that will make it more difficult to run this sanctuary. We don't foresee this occurring, but felt it was still worth mentioning. Recommendations As we've discussed, Big Cat Rescue is an incredibly entrepreneurial company. They understand the importance of open communication and being open to new ideas. No day is routine for them. Big Cat Rescue also realizes the importance of flat structure when it comes to their hierarchy (we are not discussing volunteer hierarchy since those controls steam from safety protocols). One of the biggest weaknesses we found while we were completing our audit is that it seems that Big Cat Rescue employees parrot back what their leadership says. We worry that Big Cat Rescue has fallen victim to groupthink and that employees are just agreeing with what is said to them. We are open to this assumption being wrong. This weaknesses was discovered through our survey. We felt that the answers given by employees were almost too similar. If the surveys had not been anonymous, we would recommend speaking with the one employee who felt differently than the others since they seem to have a very different view of the organization. Since that is not an option, we recommend discussing with employees the importance of not falling into groupthink and that it is ok and welcome to challenge ideas. Another recommendation we have that came from our survey is for Big Cat Rescue to be more transparent about their decisions to employees and volunteers. In our survey results, it was brought up that often management does not inform employees about decisions that have been made or changes to procedures. Employees feel confused and an inconsistency with their work when this happens. Big Cat Rescue should make a point to quickly send out memos when important decisions are made and they should make sure that people know as quickly as possible when decisions that affect their day to day are made. Our last recommendation is that Big Cat Rescue should improve their presence on Instagram. Currently, their Instagram posts inconsistently and does not seem to interact with visitors who have posted their pictures from Big Cat Rescue. We think they are missing out on a great opportunity to engage their visitors by liking and commenting on their posts. This could get visitors to follow Big Cat Rescue's social media accounts which would keep the organization in their mind and possibly increase donations. Big Cat Rescue's presence on Instagram would also help to combat the trend on Instagram of accounts that show big cats as pets. They could use this as an opportunity to directly fight this mindset and show that these animals should not be kept in private hands.
Innovation Alchemist - Trends und Strategien zu Innovation, Digitalisierung und Unternehmertum
Es ist die erste Folge nach der Sommerpause 2021 und ich freue mich sehr, dass ich wieder einen spannenden Gast für den Innovation Alchemist Podcast gewinnen konnte. Wir sprechen über viele verschiedene Themen, denn Peter Borchers hat bereits einige interessante Tätigkeiten in seiner beruflichen Laufbahn ausgeübt.

Rob Wolcott is an Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship at Chicago Booth, and Adjunct Professor in Executive Education at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. A managing partner with innovation strategy consultancy Clareo, he is a regular contributor to Forbes regarding the impact of technology change on business, leadership and society. Co-author of the book Grow From Within: Mastering Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation, his work has appeared in prestigious global outlets including MIT Sloan Management Review (where two of his articles have ranked as among the most downloaded of all time), strategy+business, Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times among many others. Co-founder and Chairman of The World Innovation Network (TWIN), a network of senior executives dedicated to driving sustainable innovation, Rob brings together and embraces the value of learning and collaboration across industries. In this episode Rob introduces us to at least two important strategic concepts that will change the way you think about strategy innovation and growth. He will lay out a framework that shows that there are four primary models your, and any, company can follow to manage your growth plans. And he will arm you with a concept called “Proximity.” In full disclosure, I'm working on a book on this topic with Rob, but even if I weren't I would say that this simply idea of his could be the unifying lens that clarifies what innovation projects you should be pursuing and which you should avoid if you want to lead the future. _______________________________________________________________________________________"Business is about satisfying desires, perhaps creating desires and demands, but providing supply for the demand and over time.

Wir starten in eine neue Raketenstartwoche! Diese Woche ist Stefan Steeger, Mitgründer von Techder und Berater beim Company Builder Excubate, bei Raketenstart Podcasthost Madeleine Heuts zu Gast und berichtet von Startupgründungen "wie am Fließband" und Innovationsmöglichkeiten für Corporates. Stefan Steeger ist eigentlich Ingenieur, studierte an der RWTH Aachen Maschinenbau und entdeckte bei seinem zweiten Master in China seine Leidenschaft für das Unternehmertum. Nach einigen beruflichen Umwege, die ihn von Strategieentwicklung über Digitalberatung im Bereich Elektromobilität führten, entschied er sich dann zur Gründung von Techder. Beim Startup Techder unterstützt Stefan mit seinem Co-Founder Anthony Haake kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen (KMU) aus der produzierenden Industrie bei der Innovation. Mithilfe der von den Unternehmen bereitgestellten Informationen und weiteren Datenbanken, analysieren Techder Unternehmen, um herauszufinden, welche Technologien zum Unternehmen passen und schlagen den Unternehmen a la Tinder automatisiert entsprechende Technologien vor. Excubate ist eine Beratung für Digital Business Model Innovation und Corporate Entrepreneurship, indem Unternehmen im digitalen Transformationsprozess bei der Entwicklung innovativer und skalierbarer Geschäftsmodelle begleitet werden. Excubate unterstützt damit Unternehmen im Aufbau von „Corporate Startups“ und „Corporate Incubation“. Hier trägt Stefan nun Startup Flair und Innovation in große Corporates.

Industrie 4.0, Digitalisierung und viele neue Kundenbedürfnisse fordern Unternehmen auf neue Produkte, Services und Geschäftsmodelle auf den Markt zu bringen. Dabei setzen viele Unternehmen auf die Kooperation mit innovativen Start-ups, wie ene Studie von Pioneers zeigt. Diese Studie beschreibt auch, dass Unternehmen mit internen Innovationsprogrammen unzufrieden mit dem Output sind. So stellt sich schnell die Frage ob Unternehmen überhaupt interne Innovationsprogramme brauchen? Dieser Frage gehen wir in dieser Podcast Folge auf den Grund.

Interview mit Florian Kraus Consultant // Corporate Entrepreneurship // Start Ups // Innovation Radar
今回は、「社内ベンチャー」というキーワードを取り上げます。英語ではInternal Corporate Venturingと言い、ICVまたはCVと略称されますが、その日本語訳である「社内ベンチャー」とか「企業内ベンチャー」という語は、既に広く知られているようです。Corporate Entrepreneurshipという英語表現もあって、こちらは「社内起業」と訳されていますが、内容的にほぼ同義と理解して良いと思います。 今回、これをイノベーション・マネジメントのキーワードとして取り上げるのは、大企業がイノベーションを実現するための方法として制度的に社内ベンチャーを使用するということが行われているからです。 これまでお話してきたように、大企業は経営資源が豊富だという点をはじめとして、イノベーションを実現する上で多くの有利な条件を備えているのですが、他方において巨大な組織を運営するために官僚制的なルールが支配的となることに伴って意思決定が遅くなったり、個人の貢献が組織内に埋没することによってモチベーションが損なわれたりする点で不利になるとも言われてきました。また、既存の事業で技術的に成功している大企業は、当該事業が足かせとなって、しばしば新しい技術や事業機会に乗り遅れるという傾向も指摘されてきました。社内ベンチャーという仕組みは、こうした問題を回避して、大企業が新たな事業機会に取り組むための方法として期待されているわけです。 米国のノースウェスタン大学にあるケロッグ経営大学院のロバート・ウォルコットとマイケル・レピッツは、社内起業を「既存企業の内部のチームが、現在持っている資産、市場、能力を活用しつつ、それらとは一線を画した新規ビジネスを考案し、育成し、市場投入し、管理する活動プロセス」として定義しています。この定義は、社内起業を新製品開発に止まる活動や、分社化された事業ないし合弁事業と区別しています。 社内ベンチャーを制度的に運用している企業では、事業テーマを新規事業開発部のような組織が提示してチームを募るか、事業テーマそのものを社内公募した上で選抜するという方式が採られています。新規事業テーマは、既存事業から独立した組織によって取り組まれ、事業化が成功した後には分社化されるケースもあります。 こうした社内ベンチャーの利点は、しばしば独立ベンチャー企業と比較する観点から、大企業の資金的背景があることや、そのブランド力を活用できることにあると言われてきました。しかし、これらの利点は他方において社内ベンチャーの担当者に対するプレッシャーを大幅に緩和することになり、「背水の陣」を布いて努力するほどのコミットメントを引き出せないため、社内ベンチャーの成功率を低める要因になっているという指摘もあります。実際、大企業の手厚い庇護の下で行われる取組ならば、冒険的な企てを意味するベンチャーという表現は名ばかりですし、単に新事業開発と呼べばよいわけです。 ただ、一方で日本企業では公募制による社内ベンチャー制度に対して、社員のチャレンジ精神を育成する効果や、挑戦的な企業文化を育成するといった効果が期待されてきました。その意味では、新規事業開発という本来の目的よりも、日本企業では人材育成に力的をおいた制度運用が行われてきたと言えるでしょう。経営学のテキストには、社内ベンチャーをベンチャー企業の一形態として位置づけている例もありますが、現実の社内ベンチャーの運用実態からみると、それは適切ではないということになるかも知れません。 最後に、日本企業では、どの程度、社内ベンチャーが導入されているのかを見ておきたいと思います。少し前のデータですが、内閣府が2008年に公表した「企業のリスクへの対応力についてのアンケート調査」の結果によると、回答企業810社のうち企業内ベンチャー制度を設けているという企業は10.9%であり、制度を導入していない理由としては、「必要性があまり高くない」とする回答が54.0%を占めていました。最近になって、社内ベンチャー制度を導入する日本企業は増えてきたと言われているのですが、この10年前の調査結果からみると、制度に対する日本企業の理解と導入にはまだまだ課題がありそうです。 今回のまとめ： 社内ベンチャーとは、大企業がその経営資源を活用しながら既存事業とは一線を画した独立組織を設置して新規事業開発に取り組む方法です。
