Ilya Strebulaev: 我与全球许多传统公司和创新型公司合作。许多领导者问我硅谷的秘诀是什么,为什么风险投资家能够找到并资助像谷歌、亚马逊、英伟达和Zoom这样的未来巨头,而许多大型公司却做不到。事实是,美国今天最大的10家公司中有7家获得了风险投资支持,在过去50年上市的所有公司中,有一半以上获得了风险投资支持。然而,最初的财富500强公司中,多达五分之四的公司已经不复存在或不再榜上有名。 大型公司应该学习风险投资家的思维方式,即关注少数重大机遇,而不是避免所有失败。风险投资家会进行许多投资,大多数都会失败,但成功的少数投资足以弥补所有损失。大型公司也应该将自己视为一个投资组合,其中一些投资可能会取得巨大成功,而大多数投资则会失败。真正的失败是错失内部的独角兽公司。 要做到这一点,公司需要从上到下改变思维方式,容忍失败,并重新考虑决策流程、文化和激励机制。我建议采用三管齐下的方法:改进内部创新流程(为内部创业者创造赛道),以风险投资思维进行收购和整合,以及建立有效的企业风险投资部门。良好的意愿是不够的,需要具体的机制来促进创新,例如如何开会、谁先发言、鼓励一致还是分歧等。 Piyush: 我同意你的观点,大型公司需要持续内部创新以生存。这需要赋能内部创业者,容忍失败,并关注成功。你提到的三个方法:创造内部创业者的赛道,以风险投资思维进行收购,以及建立企业风险投资部门,都非常重要。同时,公司文化也需要支持创新和辩论,避免群体思维。
