“The practice of a corporate management style
that integrates risk-taking and innovation
approaches, as well as the reward and
motivational techniques, that are more
traditionally the province of
entrepreneurship.”

15. Great things about building
Intrapreneurial Employees
•Innovations add to revenue stream
•Increase motivation and empowerment among employees
•Retain good employees
•Utilize all of the brain power in an organization

16. Who are the Intrapreneurial Employees?
•Can't assign someone the job of being an intrapreneur
•Highly motivated people, little supervision, clear visions

17. How to encourage employees to pursue
ideas?
•Encouragement can go a long way.
•Clear vision of where your company is headed.
•Brainstorm with employees about new ideas.
•Include employees in lower-level positions.
•A clear reward system. Money is not the only one.
•Beware of the type of promotion you give.

18. Criteria for choosing a great idea to
implement
•Will your customers have a need for this new product or
service?
•New product or service will attract new customers?
•Better than the competition?
•Do you have sufficient resources? Do a cost analysis.
•Consider potential risks and rewards.

19. How to establish lines of responsibility
•Sometimes better to let the employee do things their way.
•Weaknesses in the business plan? Balance these out by
adding support staff to the project.
•You may work together to decide which employees will
work on the new business.
•Give regular, clear feedback.

20. Some words of cautions
•Not every intrapreneurial idea results in success.
•When an idea takes off, feeling of frustration for not
receiving enough compensation for their ideas.
•One fabulous idea does not guarantee future ideas will
take off.

23. Success story on intrapreneurship:
3M Post-it Notes
•12 years from idea creation to production of 3M’s Post-it Notes.
•Spencer Silver invented a not-so-sticky adhesive in 1968, but do not
know how best to use and market the product for years.
•Co-worker, Art Frey, recognized the need for Spencer’s idea during
choir practice & performance - Frey’s bookmarks were regularly falling
out of his book. This product concept solved his problem!
•Still, 3M still did not do anything for over a decade.
•3M’s Post-it Notes was launched in 1980 in US. Now internationally.

up, and has gone on to build over 70% of the home video-game-
console international market share.
•By 1998, the PlayStation contributed 40 percent of Sony
Corporation’s operating profits.
