The Corporate Innovator's Playbook: Business Model Innovation, CFO Alignment, and the AI Innovation Winter

From the Aucctus Podcast. Paul Campbell has helped create 50+ businesses and $5B+ in growth at companies like HP, Philips and Schneider Electric. We get into:

• Incremental vs. disruptive. Why teams execute incremental innovation well but stall on business-model-level bets, and the Innovation Canvas — the 10 areas a company has to mobilize to build a new business.
• The dilutive phase. J-curve dynamics that kill most projects before they ever reach a business unit.
• Working with the CFO. Flexible, tranche-based funding instead of waiting on the annual planning cycle.
• Corporate venturing. "Minimum viable synergies" — proving real value between a startup and a corporate before overcommitting — and listening posts in Silicon Valley, Tel Aviv and Singapore.
• AI's three tiers of impact. Efficiency tools, process innovation and true discovery; why only ~5% of legacy companies have reached tier three, and why the innovation winter is starting to thaw.
