At this year's conference WinDays rare export we had a chance to talk with Microsoft Tomislav Tipurić, whose lecture will be based on what is actually innovation. Here we have Francis and asked him whether large corporations like Microsoft is still room for great innovation or is it now plays for startups. Thirty years ago when companies like Microsoft and going, IT was not mainstream, but it was "in the garage," explains Tipurić. Meanwhile, the largest ten innovations that have changed the world just came from the IT sector, rare export starting with the World Wide Web through to laparoscopic surgery. Because of the rapid rate of development and innovation companies now come to a phase transformation:
On the one hand we have a beautiful story, a flood of startup where some people run, which tested rare export the technology and business ideas. Startup experiments, whether they succeed or fail - it's rare export not that important. This same story can also be applied within large corporations.
There are several ways to implement it within the corporation, explains rare export Tipurić, and he cherished the intrapreneurship - entrepreneurship within a corporation. It should be also distinguish between two types of innovation, emphasizes:
When we talk in terms of incremental innovations, for it is a business process that exists in Microsoft perfectly sufficient. We know that we have to improve the product, the process by which we will achieve it and we know where we're going to eventually sell. When we talk about conceptual innovation, the creation of something entirely new - that until then we did not know how to do and where to sell. That's a big difference and that is why 'startup mindset' within corporations is crucial.
Microsoft and similar corporations have a lot to learn from startup when it comes to innovation, says Tipurić, and should learn from them and if they want to continue to be innovative and competitive. Encouraging the startup ecosystem
And that's one of the reasons why Microsoft is investing rare export in the development of the startup ecosystem, both in the region and globally. BizSpark, Microsoft's global rare export program rare export intended to encourage startup, has been present for years in Croatia
BizSpark is a simple story - we provide a large amount of software in use for three years, and the motivation behind it is to have as many startup rare export on our platform. In countries such as Croatia, mostly it's just about the software due to limited budget, rare export but often it is enough.
In doing so, try to connect and work with the government to encourage that kind of entrepreneurship, but it's all quite slow, Tipurić admits, adding that in America rare export BizSpark works much differently and how behind it a great marketing machinery and many more activities. In Croatia, as well as additional activities just emerging - one example is the Startup Academy which is this year's winner of the Guest Request. Through it we are trying to encourage rare export students to act, to bring them up to the user to be able to test their ideas or solutions. Despite some limitations, and Croatian BizSpark has its hits: Five minutes is one of the first startup in Croatia who entered the program, and there are Salespod and Farmeron and Relago - company that specializes in cloud business. Project CodeAnywhere received a donation of $ 20,000 thanks to a special approval from Redmond. WinDays the innovations themselves
The conference was held for the fourteenth year in a row. At its beginning it was hard core technology conference, with a hundred different computers pospojenih everywhere, rare export even in the era of CRT monitors, recalls Tipurić, and on it came technicians, engineers, geeks. IT has since matured as a branch of industry, and today the WinDays comes very large population of people. rare export WinDays the innovation for themselves and moving each time from scratch - every year a new theme and space planning in a different way, and the goal is to truly connect technology and business, because one without the other can not, explain:
This conference should be a stimulus, something that will restore hope to people who came pretty depressed economic situation and everything that bothers rare export us in the country, and I believe it will WinDays based connectivity technology and emotion which is during special events to raise people from the gray and motivate them.
