(Editor’s Note: Want to see full highlights from this week’s events, including resource links? Read the #TChat Recap: “Intrepreneurs: Creating Value From Within.” ) Marcia Conner about ingenuity in our personal and professional lives — looking at how each of us can benefit by channeling our inner “McGyver.” More recently, we drilled down on the concept of disruptive innovation — how radically new ideas and technologies continue to create new business opportunities.
This week, we invite you to help us connect those two dots, as we explore what’s possible when organizations actively nurture an entrepreneurial culture . So-called “intrapreneurship” isn’t a novel idea. However, at a time when employee engagement seems stuck at low ebb , a dedicated effort to drive internal innovation can help retain top talent, and simultaneously create a competitive edge. But how?
To lead this conversation, we’re excited to welcome one of my favorite business authors and commentators, Bob Burg . Bob writes extensively and speaks enthusiastically about what it takes for organizations and individuals to leverage their strengths in today’s world of work.
For a glimpse of Bob’s view of intrapreneurship, watch this brief #TChat sneak-peek Hangout:
