Success through structured Innovation – with Safir Jamal

Safir Jamal is an experienced venture builder and corporate
innovator, based in Silicon Valley. He is the Head of Strategy
& Operations at Ford X, the Ford Motor Company's venture
incubator, where he leads a team of 30+ entrepreneurs, designers,
and engineers to envision, build, and validate new ventures to
shape the future of transportation.


Today we talk with him about what makes Innovation inside a
corporate incubator successful and how to approach venture
building from a corporate point of view. We are outlining the
kind of contribution a corporation can give a founding team, to
be more effective and ultimately more successful than if they
were working independently.


One topic that we put a special emphasise on today is the
importance of structure in order to create a successful
innovation process inside the corporate landscape.
