The Center for Global Leadership wants to identify the best practices for managing risky new ventures within corporations. In our investigations, we trace the development of new ventures through the following key processes.

We also seek to understand the impact that a corporation's organizational design, sometimes called organizational DNA, has on each of these processes. The organizational DNA is more than just a reporting structure—it includes a broad array of managerial choices that affect individual and collective behaviors, motivations, and abilities.

Our research will result in specific recommendations for creating organizations that are continuously able to create, grow, and profit from new ventures.
