Stakeholder Sponsorship – Venture Club Session Recap
Winning and keeping internal sponsors: tailored pitches, intermediate milestones and owning the narrative when ventures fail.
How do you win an internal sponsor, and keep them once the venture stops looking like a quick win?
Recaps are anonymised by design: no names, no companies.
Members explored how to secure and sustain internal stakeholder sponsorship for venturing: identifying who really matters, tailoring the pitch to their interests, surviving transformation phases where everyone competes for support, and communicating the ventures that did not work.
Five key insights
- 01Compete for support with a clear roadmap
An innovation roadmap plus the ROI impact on each specific stakeholder wins the resource battle.
- 02Build the team's internal brand
Clear communication of impact and strategic alignment elevates how the wider organisation sees venturing.
