Driving innovation is one of the main priorities of every leader.
Yet, it’s not so easy doing it in a very competitive market or in a conservative industry.
One of the most effective ways to build an innovative company is to build a corporate venture arm. That’s, for example, what Shell did back in 1998.
For episode 046 of “The World Class Leaders Show”, I invited Andrea Course, Venture Principal of Shell Ventures, to share her experience with innovation, startups, founders, and CEOs.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to choose the right companies to invest in

The power of diversity in the startup world

What makes great founders and CEOs

The best way to support the startups after the investment

How to deploy new technologies in a large and established company
