So why aren't financial services players aggressively moving to close this gap?

Because it's virtually impossible to develop the necessary agility from within the corporate walls

The kind of agility smaller companies have...

Sensing

Being able to detect, identify and develop opportunities as they emerge in relation to customer needs.

Securing

Being able to mobilize resources from across different levels of the organization to exploit these new opportunities.

Shifting

Being prepared to adopt new practices, without having to incur disproportionate internal costs of change.

Our Ventures-as-a-Service offering enables corporates to run their ventures operation with this agility

We provide our clients with flatter, faster and focused new ventures teams with an entrepreneurial mindset, a clear vision and mission, an ownership mentality and the ability to work collaboratively with client innovations and ventures personnel
