Leaders of well-established organisations are engaged in a market war to innovate faster and smarter than ever before. But even when companies are staffed with enthusiastic teams willing to generate ideas, “intrapreneurship” (entrepreneurship inside of companies) often disappoints. In fact, intrapreneurship projects in big companies fail between 70% and 90% of the time.
Even when companies have the foundations for an innovation ecosystem, intrapreneurship is still all about people, process and politics. Research on entrepreneurial behaviours and mindsets shows that to kick-start intrapreneurship, follow four steps:
Sources: Altringer, B. (2013) A New Model for Innovation in Big Companies, HBR, Nov 19; Felício, J., Rodrigues, R., Caldeirinha, V. (2012) The Effect of Intrapreneurship on Corporate Performance, Management Decision, 50(10), 1717-1738.
Assess the extent to which your organisation is fostering intrapreneurship behaviours and mindsets. Do people have the desire and understanding to carry great ideas forward? Can they access the support, networks and resources needed to act now?
The concept presents the history of intrapreneurship which dates from 1985 and reviews its two main approaches, along with implementation steps and success factors.
The concept determines the critical factors of innovation management. It reviews the managerial practices of successful innovators and summarises the strengths and limitations of innovative approaches.
Entrepreneurship is a highly relevant concept for those leading and working in organisations and not just those starting new ventures. This concept covers technology, creative and social enterprise dimensions and introduces the types and main principles of entrepreneurship. The creation of an entrepreneurial culture is also addressed.
