The Five Critical Success Factors for New Ventures (By: Peter Drucker)

  1. A focus on the market

  2. Financial foresight, especially in planning for cashflow and capital needs ahead

  3. Building a top management team long before the new venture actually needs one and long before it can actually afford one

  4. A decision by the founding entrepreneur in respect of his or her own  role, area of work, and relationship

  5. For in-company ventures in an established business, insulating the new venture

Building Management Team

The core team should be picked very carefully because its business and interpersonal style becomes the foundation of the company's culture and grows the value system. They should have an impressive track record, skills, and depth of experience in the areas most important to the sustainable competitive advantage of the company. Don't settle for a few average employees – "if you want a track team to win the high jump, you find one person who can jump seven feet, not seven people who can jump one foot."

When building your management team, remember also that top-quality people often emerge from bankruptcies. Prior bankruptcy experience is valuable – failure has its rewards. It is often better to hire a leader who learned from mistakes than it is to hire someone who was just lucky.

You would also need to learn how to manage less and lead more through decentralizing, organizing groups and delegating responsibilities. Learning to distinguish between the core activities, that cannot be delegated, from non-core activities, that must be delegated, is what often separates successful entrepreneurs from business failures.

The core activities that must be performed by the entrepreneur – because no one else can perform them as well as the company founder – are those that give the company its competitive advantage over other companies in the industry.

 

Take a Different View

It was by taking a different view of a traditional business that major innovations were achieved. To find a better creative solution to the current practice, force yourself to reframe the problem, to break down its components and assemble them in a different way.

Combining the Unusual

The vast majority of new ideas are not original but derived from something else. Most great ideas are really combinations of other ideas. When asked about the secrets of his success, Henry Ford answered, "The simple secret of my genius is that I created something new out of the ideas and inventions of others."

Driving Radical Innovation

Adapted from “Radical Innovation,” Harvard Business School

"Here is the paradox: You need a great team of people with diverse skills to perform a symphony well, but no team has ever written a great symphony!“ While cross-functional teams are key players in driving incremental innovation projects, cross-functional disruptive individuals tend to be key players in defining radical innovation projects. Individuals who are likely to excel in a radical innovation project, besides having superior technical capabilities, should be goal-oriented, broadly educated, creative, extremely bright, not afraid to be different, integrative, flexible, passionate, entrepreneurial, aggressive, eager to learn business, able to take risks, and inquisitive.

Three Self-Motivational Competencies of Outstanding Performers

1. Achievement Drive: Challenging assumptions and strive to improve standards of excellence.
2. Commitment: Embracing the organization's or groups vision and goals.
3. Initiative and Optimism: Twin competencies that mobilize people to seize opportunities and allow them to take setbacks and obstacles in stride.

Entrepreneurial Action

Entrepreneur is a person who habitually creates and innovates to build something of recognized value around perceived opportunities. He starts from scratch and brings into being something that was not there before. Entrepreneurship is first and foremost a mindset. It is the art of finding and developing profitable solutions to problems – fast!
