Talk - Can entrepreneurial innovation survive company growth?

 

 

 

​

As software companies grow beyond the start-up phase, it often becomes increasingly difficult to sustain organic innovation, with many companies shifting to a purely acquisitive model for innovation.

 

Using Redgate as a case study of just such a situation, Mark will relate the journey the company has been on over the last three years to transition out of a creatively and financially challenging period. Speaking from direct experience, he’ll highlight some of the successful strategies adopted and lessons learnt along the way.

 

The audience will leave with real-world examples of how an organisation can balance an internal entrepreneurial culture with a portfolio that spans the maturity lifecycle.
