Learn how P&G is navigating industry disruption by disrupting from within.
Never invest in an entrepreneur who loves their idea, because they have no elasticity or permission to change it.
For the cautious C-suite, now may not seem like the time to become a disruptor. We candidly disagree.
By involving a much broader set of employees in the innovation process, TD Ameritrade draws more and better insights.
In order to transform, AB InBev's new venture arm had to find their purpose - and it wasn't just more beer.
The Growth OS is the idea that venture capital and entrepreneurship are forms of management. It’s the job of investing in creating growth and scaling companies from $0 to $50 million.
The Growth OS pushes leaders to focus on the purpose of the company and discover new opportunities - professionally and personally. By shifting their mindsets, leaders go on a journey outside their comfort zone, to find opportunities in uncertainty.
The outcomes from installing the Growth OS is seen and felt through new products, new mindsets, new capabilities, and new revenue streams. This work enables success for these enterprises' innovation initiatives.
To win, you have to know your strengths and understand the challenges within your organization. This enables the team to identify when to look outside for partnerships in the marketplace and have a mix of organic and inorganic growth.
Growth in your company is a direct reflection of the leadership's permission and empowering the team to discover and solve. Support from the C-suite is crucial for the Growth OS to thrive.
Finding and enabling the right team is critical for success. The result of the work is not only reflected in products and brands, but in identifying and empowering incredible entrepreneurial talent.

Deploying [Bionic's] Growth Operating system at Citi was a game changer. The powerful and compelling case for change hit home. Our leaders stepped into the urgent need to learn new skills and new ways of working in order to bring relevant new products and services to our customers.
Working with the Bionic team gives teams the energy, tools, and most importantly, the courage to innovate and scale growth.
The team at Bionic offer innovative and powerful ways for legacy companies to create entirely new legacies
[Bionic] understands like nobody else what makes start-ups successful and how big companies can learn from them. Bionic has been instrumental in our quest to be a growth organization and master the "new to big" discipline.
New to Big is a great how-to book for change leaders seeking to drive scalable, profitable growth in big companies, reminding us how to use deep questioning, masterful listening, and a learning culture to discover the ‘commercial truth’!
New to Big has been one of the biggest mindset shifts we’ve undertaken. Encouraging teams to fall in love with consumer problems while learning fast and encouraging leaders to think like venture capitalists has taken P&G back to its deeply entrepreneurial roots. A New to Big focus has created a culture of experimentation and speed. Combining this way of thinking with the strengths of a 181-year old company is transforming the way we innovate at P&G.
Big companies are normally where creativity goes to die. [Bionic proves] that it doesn’t have to be that way. This is the long-awaited playbook for figuring out how to turn your bureaucracy into an innovation machine.
Once a big company makes the decision to grow, it has to learn how. Bionic presents a unique roadmap for big companies looking to spark powerful growth engines from within.
In terms of groundwork, the Bionic team was extremely helpful in framing the challenges of building new businesses while operating at the scale we do at Citi. A fair share of that groundwork was a mindset shift; framing the different orientation that’s required when you’re exploring a brand-new idea versus when you’re managing a business at scale. That was extraordinarily valuable to us in Citi Ventures and to our colleagues and leaders across the bank.
