Enabling CV Program Innovation Impact

Institute research shows that successful CV programs wield the power of broad, multi-level internal stakeholder networks to deliver value for both parent and portfolio. But CV teams can’t assume that the shifting landscape of Business Units, Innovation, R&D and other parent partners appreciate how a CV program will address their objectives or understand what it takes to engage startups effectively. Establishing and maintaining common CV language and industry context is critical for effective parent relationships that drive CV program impact and staying power.

“The course made us see that even our core CV team (not to mention the parent) wasn’t communicating effectively—we all had different understandings of terms we use every day.”

“It was really eye-opening for me as a parent partner to understand the bigger CV picture and to see opportunities for me to both influence CV investment strategy and engage with the portfolio.”
