Defense and industry need to develop a capability to launch market-disrupting innovations as fast, and if not faster, than startups do to stay competitive. Venturing, the challenging opportunity of embracing startups, is primarily about innovation, competitive advantage and sometimes even survival.
However, to be successful in venturing, it requires a higher risk tolerance, faster decision making, and a longer investment horizon.
Most larger organizations are poorly optimized for fast innovations. Often they suffer from the ‘Not invented here’- syndrome and their culture is risk aversive. Next to this, promising initiatives often lack sufficient autonomy and are cannibalized by the existing organisation. ‘Killing their darlings’ as they say..
