[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Invest in Intrapreneurs – Innovation Management Supports Your Organization’s Greatest Change Makers [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="10px"][vc_column_text]Intrapreneurs are those important team members with the optimism, intellect, initiative, and discipline to champion bright ideas and drive new project pipelines, establishing innovative change across the business. Does your organization nurture valuable intrapreneurship?  When internal team members are given the freedom to think like entrepreneurs, they become more motivated, creative, and engaged. They are not afraid to challenge the status quo and are driven to find innovative solutions to problems. By fostering intrapreneurship within your organization, you stimulate the development of disruptive ideas and invest in a collaborative work environment. The organization's collective intelligence is multiplied, leading to more innovative outcomes and solutions to your biggest challenges. How does a company encourage an intrapreneurial spirit in employees?
