Hodas outlines an approach for enterprise or large organizations who want to encourage innovation by partnering with startups and re-invigorating intrapreneurs and internal change agents:
define an API to share data;
elicit support from change agents on the front lines;
allow for a lot of experimentation;
only pick winners based on results achieved after months of perseverance.
This forces you to create platforms for experimentation, it sends a strong message you are committed to improvement based on results, and forces the entrenched bureaucracy to defend on many fronts instead of attacking the incoming executives new “anointed” solution.
