Design Your Intrapreneurship Program For Success – Right From The Start

Intrapreneurship programs can be a success if done the right way. The success of an intrapreneurial initiative comes down to the culture of the organization, the goals for the program, and the people that are selected to be a part of it. To increase chances of success, it's important to ensure sponsorship of time and methodology, people and ideas, and structured curriculum and mentoring. Jan Kennedy recommends that employees test and develop their ideas by putting real potential customers at the center of the process. Antoon van Olmen suggests keeping programs simple and enabling, rather than imposing certain domains. Intrapreneurship programs must be adapted to fit the organization and the mindset must be to keep learning from failure until the program is viable over the long term.
