Importance of having the startup energy

Organisations like human beings seem to have "energy swings" ( not calling it mood swings). It is very important for one part of the organisation to keep on focussing on the business as usual activity and another part of the enterprise to try and push to new frontiers of growth. The growth either in offering or market segment is crucial for a variety of reasons.

The most important reason is that it tries to keep the organisation hungry and pushes up the energy level few notches up. It is a fine balance that one has to strike between mature process growth and startup frenzy with in an organisation. The startup energy boost that the enterprise gets will transcend the limited group which is driving it and reach the extended enterprise and there will be positive energy resulting in excitement and big dreams.

How do you acheive it - if the core group of start up members are still there with the enterprise - the act of venturing out to new frontiers ideally should belong to subset of the initial members as they have it in their DNA to do startups and also they might have lived the success.
