Understanding the Opportunist Model in Corporate Entrepreneurship PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Corporate Entrepreneurship Primer PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of the "Opportunist" operating model within the framework of Corporate Entrepreneurship. It highlights that organizations typically start in this phase, characterized by a lack of intentional strategy regarding entrepreneurial initiatives. The text indicates that both internal and external networks are crucial for driving concept selection and resource allocation, which are essential for innovation.

Organizational ownership is described as "Diffused," suggesting that no single entity or individual takes responsibility for entrepreneurial efforts. This diffusion can lead to challenges in accountability and decision-making. The resource authority is labeled "Ad Hoc," indicating that resources are allocated on an irregular basis, often depending on individual initiatives rather than a structured approach. The maturity level is identified as "Nascent," reflecting that the organization is in the early stages of developing its entrepreneurial capabilities.

The strategic goal is notably absent, emphasizing that without a defined direction, the model relies heavily on a culture of trust. The slide stresses the importance of fostering an environment conducive to experimentation and innovation. Without such a culture, promising ideas may fail to receive the necessary support and funding, leading to missed opportunities.

It also points out the need for multiple decision-makers to facilitate the approval of entrepreneurial projects. Often, these projects are driven by "project champions," individuals who are passionate and ambitious, yet may operate independently of the broader organizational structure. This can create tension between initiative and organizational support, highlighting the need for a more cohesive strategy as the organization evolves.
