In Chicago in March, we hosted battle-tested BigCo leaders from Gatorade, PepsiCo, Grainger, and Mondelez as they spoke to how their large organizations are operationalizing startup approaches.
Here are a few of our favorite quotes from March’s panel:
“From an innovation standpoint, you don’t want to sprint for the sake of sprinting.” – Chris Hintermeister, Senior Manager, Innovation, Gatorade
“Get things off of paper into the real world.” – Tharius Sumter, Director, Global Portfolio Insights, PepsiCo
“Within startups it is do or die. How do you create do or die within a big company, because that’s what’s needed.” – Barry Calpino, Senior Innovation Leader, experience at Conagra, Mondelez, SCJ, Newell, Wrigley, & Kellogg’s
“It’s about finding the right people, at the right time at different points in the journey. That’s what real collaboration is about.” – Erin Overly, Head of Brand Communications, Grainger
