In today’s fast-moving world, sticking to what’s “proven” isn’t safe. Nimble startups are nibbling away at your margins. Digital-savvy competitors are rewriting the rules—and your value proposition is on the line.
If you’re a Senior Manager, you’re juggling it all: growing revenue, managing day-to-day chaos, and keeping the cash cow healthy. So who has time to chase multi-year bets on new business?
We get it. These concerns are real—and valid. You put your core business at risk.
But here’s the truth: avoiding the future is the biggest risk of all.
Below, we tackle the most common objections we hear from leaders like you—and why they shouldn’t stop you from future-proofing your company.
Embracing business building does NOT mean that you need to change everything. We see that in serial business builders, 5-15 percent of staff are affected. Plus adjustments to processes and funding/governance schemes.
Keep in mind that 55 percent of large European companies have business building as a top-3 corporate priority. So in our view it is not the question IF you should be preparing for business building, but rather WHEN - the sooner, the better.
With the right mindset and an effective approach such as the Lean Scaleup you can take a closer look at your portfolio of opportunities and advance the suitable ventures, one step at a time.
Maybe we should have a 1-hour discussion about your company's business building set-up? This would give you a good insight where and how your company needs to change — and which few changes would start the journey in the right direction.
A framework is only as good as its real-world results.
That’s why we back Lean Scaleup with proof: top companies use it (see the list of our references).
Countless others big and small have invested in business building and pulled ahead of the pack. Why not join them?
Let’s kick off jour journey with a1-hour discussion about your company's business building setup. You’ll see where you stand—and what others are doing right.
Lean Startup is popular—and for good reason. Over 80% of big companies use it for early innovation.
But here’s the truth: only 1 in 8 corporate startups actually scale. And just 25% of those hit $50M+ in revenue. Why? Because Lean Startup wasn’t built for corporate realities.
It stops at early stages and misses the full journey from idea to scale.
Lean Scaleup fills that gap. Our clients say it’s the essential next level in corporate entrepreneurship.

⏵ Frequently Asked Questions.
1. Why do most corporate ventures fail to scale after MVP?
Most corporate ventures stall after MVP because of missing integration with the core business, unclear ownership, and governance gaps.
The Lean Scaleup framework addresses these post-validation barriers with a structured approach.
This approach aligns innovation teams, executives, and core operations around one journey to create new growth by scaling innovation.
2. What’s a proven framework for scaling innovation in large companies?
The Lean Scaleup is a structured, best practice framework for creating new growth by scaling innovations.
Unlike typical models that focus at validation, it is a comprehensive system that supports the end-to-end journey from idea to business impact.
It’s used by enterprises across industries to create new growth by scaling innovation.
3. How can we align core business and new ventures to drive growth?
The bridge between the existing business and emerging, new businesses builds on three pillars: Leadership, process and people and culture.
The Lean Scaleup helps companies align the “NOW” (core business) with the “NEW” (new, emerging businesses) through practical tools — so both can co-create growth instead of working in silos or conflict.
4. How do you scale innovation beyond the pilot phase?
Scaling isn’t just about having a working product.
It’s about integration, ownership, funding, and business readiness.
The Lean Scaleup framework gives you a step-by-step approach to move from MVP to scale — with roles, metrics, and decision logic built for enterprise environments.
5. Can we customize this approach to fit our company’s structure and maturity?
Yes. Lean Scaleup is modular and designed to flex. You don’t have to “boil the ocean.”
You can start with a self-assessment, focus on key building blocks, and grow from there—at your pace, in your context.
6. What are the shortcomings of the Lean Startup and how can they be compensated?
Lean Startup is great for early-stage validation — but not for scaling inside corporates.
Lean Scaleup fills that gap.
It adds structure, alignment, and integration mechanisms tailored to large companies that need to make ventures work at scale — not just to test ideas.
7. How can we start using the Lean Scaleup framework?
Start with a free self-assessment or explore the framework in the book “NOW and NEW.”
From there, Lean Scaleup offers targeted workshops, expert guidance, and practical tools to get traction inside your organization.
