Why intrapreneurship matters

In today’s context, where the source of power is knowledge, intrapreneurs are the drivers of innovation within a company and essential for its success. Intrapreneurship empowers employees to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset and take the initiative, leveraging their unique strengths and insights that external individuals may lack, providing a competitive advantage.

What are the major building blocks of intrapreneurship

Typical entrepreneurship programs last from a few days to several months and are composed of the building blocks with different emphases. The success of an intrapreneurship program depends on assembling the right team, allocating resources, determining the program's duration, creating spaces that foster innovation, providing appropriate rewards, and utilizing effective tools like Lean Startup, Design Thinking, and Scrum.

What are success factors for intrapreneurship programs

Knowing your innovation goal, whether it is incremental or disruptive, is a major factor in setting up the right intrapreneurship program. In addition, executives need to join the journey alongside intrapreneurs, providing room for iteration of an idea, accepting tests, developing a learning mentality as well as accepting failure.
