Intrapreneurs help companies adapt to a changing environments, innovate, and solve problems for their customers. When you foster and reward that creative spirit in your team, you not only create loyal employees but happy employees.
Successful companies that have embraced intrapreneurship reap the rewards, including:
Intel: Their New Business Initiative (NBI) provides space for employees to pitch their business ideas and receive funding.
Dreamworks: Employees are taught how to formulate a pitch and are then given the opportunity to practice in front of executives.
Google: A program called 20% Time allows Google engineers to spend 20% of their time on projects that interest them, free of the bureaucratic slowdowns caused when ideas must be filtered through a boss.
