Proving ROI to Exco – Venture Club Session Recap
Communicating venturing ROI to an executive committee: balancing financial returns with strategic value, and quantifying the soft stuff.
Which KPIs keep an executive team funding innovation when the results it wants are still years away?
Recaps are anonymised by design: no names, no companies.
The group dissected how to articulate the ROI of venturing to an executive committee: when to start measuring, how to frame strategic returns beside financial ones, and how to keep stakeholders on board through the uncertain early stages.
Five key insights
- 01Balance immediate returns with strategic value
Longer-term benefits of innovation are real but intangible, and the balance has to be made explicit.
- 02Quantify early-stage innovation carefully
Forecasts and market research reassure stakeholders, as long as they are framed as estimates.
