Innovation lovers ? Corporate innovation explorers, check this podcast out - Always great doing things with Jeff Amerine, PMP, thanks for hositng me on the Innovation Junkie podcast, some key takeaways from our discussion that I thought would be interesting to share here: 1 - "The innovation curve" - know where you and your organization are on the innvoation curve and learn what's needed for that stage, some organizations are very early in the process and need to work on culture and basic infrasturcure and some are more advanced and need to focus on scale. 2 - "Startup Ready Enterprise" - You don't only need an "enterprise ready startup", you also need a "startup ready enterprise", find out what does your internal process look like and what will be required for people in your org. to be able to take in working with startups. (some of the things will be discovered only once you run a few startups through the process) 3 - "Don't wing it" Establish a structured process and methodology for evaluating, piloting, and implementing startup solutions. This ensures focus, speed, and alignment between the startup and corporate stakeholders. The friction and effort from misalignment and lack of transparency are too expensive for you and your organization, you don't have a lot of time. 4 - "Communicate and then over communicate" Bridge the cultural gap between startups and large enterprises by providing clear guidance and setting expectations early in the engagement process. This helps startups understand the corporate environment, terminology, and decision-making processes and also people on your team to be able to know what's coming up next. 5 - "Less surprises for everyone, more resutls" - Involve key stakeholders like procurement, legal, and security teams from the start to identify and adapt internal processes that may hinder innovation.Their buy-in and flexibility are crucial for successful implementation. 6. "You can do it!, they did it" Instill a belief in the "art of possible" by learning from peers who have successfully implemented corporate innovation programs. This can help overcome internal resistance and skepticism. Thanks Innovation Junkie and Jeff, looking forward to more collaborations between NWA and Tel-Aviv #letsbuildtogether #innovation #partnerships

Israeli Tech's Rollercoaster Ride: Defying Odds in H1 2024 A new report by Startup Nation Central on the Israeli tech ecosystem in the first half of 2024 shows that: - Private funding surged by 31% compared to H2 2023, reaching $5.1 billion across 322 rounds. This growth outpaced other major tech hubs, including the US, Europe, and Asia.  - The increase was primarily driven by mega-rounds (over $100 million), which accounted for 56% of total funding - Cybersecurity emerged as the standout sector, representing a staggering 52% of private funding in H1 2024 (this includes Wiz record round of $1 billion, which could soon become Israel's largest exit and Google's biggest acquistion of all time, at $23 billion) - Despite fewer deals, M&A exits reached $4.1 billion, marking a 70% increase from H2 2023. Total M&A activity, including non-exit deals, hit $7.1 billion. - International investors played a crucial role, participating in rounds that accounted for 93% of all funding - a seven-year peak. This underscores the continued global appeal of Israeli innovation. Link to the report in the first comment 👇
