In this time of disruption, innovation isn’t just for boards and leadership teams. Some of the most impactful innovations come from passionate and purpose-driven intrapreneurs - the people on your team who act more like entrepreneurs than traditional employees, and help you solve your most pressing problems. This high-energy, interactive session will inspire your entire team to drive intrapreneurial action through memorable stories, practical tools, and a whole lot of fun. Unlocking intrapreneurship will help your association not just survive, but thrive. Based on research from her book "Disrupt It Yourself," Simone presents a proven approach to guide your intrapreneurs from ideas to innovation impact.
