World-Class Competitive Edge
Corporate venturing can give companies a major competitive edge. Intel, Google, Microsoft, Uber, Baidu, and Alibaba are among the top corporate venturing firms, driving significant strategic and financial value for their stakeholders. Many can learn from the innovation strategies and world-class CVC teams at these firms. The CVC Canvas is one step in this direction.
Use Case: Nordic Bank
A Nordic bank was looking to develop a corporate venture strategy. This grew out of deep frustrations with the lack of urgency, execution and speed in the internal innovation work. After visiting leading European CVC teams, the bank CEO decided to launch its own CVC team.
Quickly realizing the structure would have to be placed outside the main organization, management started looking for a way to build a powerful, Nordic CVC strategy. In fact, management eventually decided to host the new entity across the country in a different city, to ensure both distance from the mothership as well as access to a better fin tech ecosystem.
During this process, the bank used the CVC Canvas to better understand where it was headed and what pieces it needed to have in place.
