Programme Outline

Corporate innovation through venture building has emerged as an indispensable catalyst for business success, propelling companies to navigate an ever-evolving marketplace, cultivate adaptability, build new capabilities and sustain their competitive edge. It fosters agility, creates new growth engines, and paves the way for long-term sustainability.

In this era marked by ceaseless change and disruption, the role of a Board Director has never been more pivotal. Yet, board members of large enterprises often grapple with a host of challenges, including risk aversion, limited tolerance for failure, a dearth of innovation know-how, struggles to keep pace with the rapid march of technology, short-term thinking, a lack of customer focus, and an over reliance on established business models. Today, it’s not merely about keeping up or staying ahead of the curve; it’s about guiding the curve itself.

  • Delve into real-world case studies that illuminate how boards have steered the course toward enterprise innovation through successful venture building, drawing wisdom from seasoned innovators from FutureLabs Ventures and Human Inc
  • Hear the insights from a successful unicorn founder as he shares his journey on how he leveraged Venture Building as a new lever of growth in a capital-constrained environment.

Join us to discover fresh perspectives on your role as a board director, one that champions the creation of new value while safeguarding the interests of your shareholders.
