Event Information

Any CEO can tell you that finding ideas is not the always the problem. The real issue is selecting and spreading the best ideas, testing quickly, and executing flawlessly. An “innovation engine” is an organization’s capability to think and invest in long-term opportunities along with the competence to drive continuous innovations for top-line growth each year.

To build your innovation engine, your company must excel at operationalizing ideas from your energized people who are willing to do everything they can to fight off internal resistance – they are your intrapreneurs. You already have natural intrapreneurs in your company. Some you know about, but most are hiding. These individuals are not always your top talent or the obvious rebels or mavericks. But When you find them and support them correctly, magic will occur. Intrapreneurs can transform an organization more quickly and effectively than others because they are self‐motivated free thinkers, masters at navigating around bureaucratic and political inertia. But how do you recognize and showcase their talent before they leave? Intrapreneurship is a critical tool for growth.

Join us to hear from Janet Austin, CEO, YWCA Metro Vancouver, Jill Bodkin, Chair and CEO, Golden Heron Enterprises and Dr. Amiee Chan, President and CEO, Norsat International Inc. who will provide their insights on how your company can recognize intrapreneurs and what methods and tactics should be used to develop intrapreneurs and intrapreneurial teams.
