There is a tendency now that young graduates turning more entrepreneurial with more of them taking the startup path than ever before. Startups also the new attractive home for consulting associate flew from consulting company which being hijacked or resigned to have a skin in startups game. This trend creates significant impact on how difficult corporate to attract , keep and motivate talented employees. Who’s to blame? We can blame startups, VC, but the problem is not of business model, working culture and policy, funding itself, but of ideas. Confronting ideas are resisted from employees working around proposing low risk project in the corporate leaderships.
In effect of questioning the righting of the wrong answer, the only kind of people should be paid attention to draw out ideas is intrapreneur, people inside the company who rarely agree with usual business process yet followed their agility to work on their own game-changing ideas who mixed business jobs with personal dream projects. They want radically to recover the river not only following passion with the mainstream.
Therefore, the final cause to be asked is how might corporate increase employee jobs productivity and create unique value for customers? The only one can answer that is the intrapreneur, an entrepreneur on the inside who do take more risks than average employees. In response, Corporates have climbed onto the innovation led bandwagon. Any big name in corporate world now has a big corporate innovation lab but little innovation. What’s needed is hybrid of anti-disciplinary approach, a strong leadership to draw out other ideas combining with different way of working with unmatched vendors as a collaborator to build other ideas in radical agile development.
