Innovating Innovation!: Why Corporate Innovation Struggles in the Age of the Entrepreneur Kindle Edition

Why do large corporations struggle with innovation, yet startups seem to excel at it?

In Innovating Innovation! Why Corporate Innovation Struggles in the Age of the Entrepreneur, serial entrepreneur-turned-corporate innovation expert Mike Stemple reveals that the greatest threat large corporations face is their inability to innovate. The majority of contemporary innovation is created by startups, while large corporations lag behind. Stemple guides corporate executives toward true innovation, from understanding contemporary innovation to recognizing the difference between the corporate “operator” versus entrepreneurial “innovator” and being able to effectively implement a modern innovation program within an organization.

Innovating Innovation! answers the trillion-dollar question, “What can large companies do to innovate as easily as their disruptive startup competitors?” Corporate executives will learn how they can catch up and unlock the same quick-to-market innovations startups use to rapidly disrupt whole industries.

Editorial Reviews

Review

- Tim Ford, CEO of Treasury Wine Estates

"If you are an executive who wants to understand corporate innovation and the challenges it is facing, this is the book to read."
- Scott Cooper, former President and CEO of Hexo Corp and former Chief Innovation Officer of Molson Coors

"Bold and important thinking. In the first chapter, Mike pushes executives to reconsider the definition of innovation. This push is the essential element to getting innovation right."
- Melissa Potdar, Vice President of Global Corporate Strategy and Chief Strategy Officer at McDonald's

"Provocative and opinionated—exactly the way you'd expect Mike Stemple to be! A completely necessary read for anyone working in innovation, especially if you want the raw truth of how to be successful."

"Stemple has a unique, contemporary, and valuable view on corporate innovation derived from his entrepreneur roots."
- Heidi Ganahl, candidate for Governor of Colorado and Founder of Camp Bow Wow

"A fascinating look at why innovation is not working at the corporate level."
- David Cohen, Co-Founder and Chairman of Techstars

- Jonathan Greechan, Co-Founder and CEO of the Founder Institute

"I hope startup founders do not read this book! It will embolden them further as they compete against large, entrenched corporations."

"Rage Against the Machine"

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2023

I'm retired now, and Mike's book brought back some "trauma" from my three-plus decades in corporate America. He correctly points out that companies; that is, long-standing companies, aren't good at innovation because they stop acting like startups. In my experience, companies behave like governments. They start out with a few simple goals in mind; react quickly and efficiently to solve whatever or problems or goals are in front of them and, over time, in the interest of efficiency and reliability, grow processes, which grow people, which grow more operations, and more processes, until, inevitably, any desirable innovation must now break through a barrier of inertia-causing red tape. Regardless of what a company's executive team wants - or thinks is going on - an army of people have grown up underneath and these people focus over time more on "here's why you can't do that" rather than "here's how we can make that happen." Changing the culture in these established institutions is incredibly difficult, but Mike lays out a path to do so, for those who are committed.
