Executing Internal Projects

Executing Internal Projects

At the recent Innov8rs Unconference, CEO Kaihan Krippendorff shared insights on internal innovation. Internal entrepreneurs drive over 70% of the world's most transformative innovations. However, a few employees believe their ideas actually matter. Thus, it is crucial to overcome seven barriers, including intent, need, options, value blockers, act, team, and environment. The IN-OVATE Framework can help unlock ideas by treating employees as entrepreneurs. Moreover, innovators need to understand and manage the context in which they operate, including environmental factors such as leadership behavior, types of talent, organizational structures, and cultural norms.
