Jobhop Jobhop's blog : The Valuable Intrapreneur
There’s always going to be people that don’t ever want to run their own business however the more business minded they are then the bigger asset they are to a company they choose to work for.
Meet the Intrapreneur, someone who uses entrepreneurial skills without incurring the risks associated with running their own business.
Companies aware of how valuable intrapreneurs are will nurture their abilities and will create an environment where those employees are free to explore their ideas. These areas in companies are called ideation spaces and it’s here where employees are encouraged to share ideas, brainstorm & collaborate on projects. If the idea/ideas look profitable they’re then given the opportunity to make it happen.
Sir Richard Branson, Chairman and CEO of Virgin group is a firm supporter of Intrapreneurship and openly talks about the significant contributions of Intrapreneurs that helped him build Virgin.
We all need Entrepreneurs but we also need Intrapreneurs who have great ideas for business growth, developing opportunities for the Entrepreneur
Like the Entrepreneur they have a determination and once they have decided on the right idea they will be determined to breathe life into it
The great thing for the Intrapreneur is that they still get a salary & don’t have to go without food getting the idea off the ground!
