If you ever wondered ‘what makes entrepreneurs entrepreneurial and what corporates can learn from entrepreneurs?’ Then, this episode is for you, as I speak to Chris Coleridge just about that.

Chris is a serial entrepreneur, a mentor, an expert in the innovation practice, and a board advisor for several startups. He’s also a professor of strategy and entrepreneurship and the founder of the University of Cambridge Business School Entrepreneurship Launchpad.

In today’s episode, we speak about,

·    What makes entrepreneurs entrepreneurial?

·    Why Mullin’s 7-domain analysis for assessing business ideas is Crisis’s favorite framework?

·    Why entrepreneurs often jump straight into solutions instead of speaking to customers about their problems; and how to deal with that?

·    The different traits to look for in a cofounding team

·    The things entrepreneurs can do to minimize the risk of business failure

·    What corporates can do to succeed with their innovation programs and learn from entrepreneurs?
