New to big : how companies can create like entrepreneurs, invest like VCs, and install a permanent operating system for growth David Kidder and Christina Wallace - New York : Currency, c2019. - 228 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.
In New to Big, serial entrepreneurs David Kidder and Christina Wallace reveal the Bionic blueprint for igniting growth revolutions inside established companies--funding portfolios of startups and fostering their growth from new ideas into big businesses.
When David Kidder was invited to speak at GE's annual leadership conference in 2012, he posed a rather unexpected question from the stage down to then-chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt, "How many $50 million companies did you launch last year?" His next provocation was, "I bet the answer is zero." But Immelt, rather than being offended by the radical candor, admitted to the 700 leaders in attendance, "That was the most important question in the thirty-seven years of this conference."
