When I interview candidates, I have often mentioned how Citrix is investing in innovation. Almost there from every company, she says in innovation during the interview process to invest, but do they really? Often there is little to back up these claims after the candidate is an employee.
I am happy to say that Citrix is different from what we take seriously innovation.
Two years ago, Jesse Lipson, who is Corporate Vice President of Cloud Services, rolled out a new BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) from his business unit. of BHAG is Citrix employees 20 new companies launch, the $ 1 million in revenue exceed everyone. Inside or outside of Citrix That's right, inside or outside of Citrix. This is a juicy target in every respect, and the wheels are already in motion.
Here are some examples of what we do at Citrix to help to achieve a BHAG as.
is primarily employee training. The foundation from which you is a successful business and product in the Lean Startup framework developed by Steve Blank and Eric Ries start. At Citrix, we developed a Lean Startup curriculum that can finish each employee. This curriculum includes topics such as Design Thinking, Customer Development, Business Modeling and pitching ideas. Upon completion of this curriculum, the staff have to take the essential tools an idea to the market through deliberate experimentation and customer understanding.
Next, we have several innovative programs that run several times a year. One of these programs is a prestigious Innovators program, in which several internal teams work alongside startups to accelerate their ideas over a period of three months on the market. If teams participate in this program let their day job behind receive additional funds for three months and the most successful ideas after the program ends.
There other programs that happen throughout the year, from Hackathon to chop weeks and slim challenges. We encourage our innovators about the business functions a team, form 3H Teams: Hacker (Coder), Hipster (Designer) and Hustler (customer orientation). The teaming-up process is fun in its own right. We also organize innovation mixer where people with ideas or different skills team and apply for the innovation programs.
As in the real world of startups get funded after completion of the program a number of teams. The main value of the Lean Startup curriculum and innovation programs can learn. Participants come back in their daily work and the skills to their functions, such as the decisions in a data-driven manner, showing learned more customer empathy, the application of entrepreneurship of experimentation and driving innovation in products, processes and business models bring.
Whether the learnings take a new product for Citrix to start, to start a new business or to invent your daily work again - it's up to you. Join us and have a choice!
