episode 11: Success through structured Innovation – with Safir Jamal
Safir Jamal is an experienced venture builder and corporate innovator, based in Silicon Valley. He is the Head of Strategy & Operations at Ford X, the Ford Motor Company's venture incubator, where he leads a team of 30+ entrepreneurs, designers, and engineers to envision, build, and validate new ventures to shape the future of transportation.
Today we talk with him about what makes Innovation inside a corporate incubator successful and how to approach venture building from a corporate point of view. We are outlining the kind of contribution a corporation can give a founding team, to be more effective and ultimately more successful than if they were working independently.
One topic that we put a special emphasise on today is the importance of structure in order to create a successful innovation process inside the corporate landscape.
