12: How to Create Innovation Labs and Understand Your Entrepreneurial Type with Ola Ahlvarsson

In this expert episode, we have serial entrepreneur Ola Ahlvarsson [Personal site | Wikipedia] back on the show to tell us how to run successful innovation labs - and to explain his framework of the 5 entrepreneurial types, and how you build a team around your talents.

Ola says that 7/10 innovation labs done in-house fail, and that those that do succeed are: Separate, Shared, Seen, Slim, Strategic, and have a Structure.

The 5 entrepreneurial types are: the Virtuoso, The all-or-nothing entrepreneur, the better-safe-than-sorry-entrepreneur, the serial entrepreneur, and the "Mr Sleeves Down" entrepreneur.
