Intrapreneurship Program Design & Validation
Client
A Fortune 500 chemical company
Situation
The client wanted to localize innovation efforts in China by identifying digital solutions that could improve agriculture outcomes while also increasing commercial and supply chain effectiveness. At the same time, it needed a practical model to mobilize internal teams, leverage external ecosystem capabilities, and convert early ideas into management-ready opportunities.
Approach
Asia Growth Partners worked closely with the client’s China program team to validate a funnel of pains, gains, and solution concepts through a sprint-based intrapreneurship approach, culminating in a management pitch day.
- Sprint 1: validate desirability via stakeholder interviews and pain/gain confirmation
- Sprint 2: develop business model logic and define a low-fidelity prototype
- Sprint 3: prepare the management pitch including roadmap, development plan, and budget request
- Applied structured ideation and prioritization mechanics during workshops
Results
- Developed and packaged multiple management-ready business cases for China, including baseline problem framing, pilot design, investment ask, and a quantified value hypothesis.
- Produced a commercial-channel visibility concept with an estimated value case combining revenue upside and cost reduction, supported by a defined pilot scope and budget request.
- Produced a retail service enablement concept (field diagnostics + recommendation workflow) with a quantified sales uplift hypothesis, supported by a defined PoC scope and budget request.
- Consolidated the concepts into pitch-day materials suitable for SteerCo review and next-step development decisions.
