Adopting an Agile Approach

Wouldn’t it be great if every employee had the same passion, ambition, and drive as the business owner?

An intrapreneur does. 

“Intrapreneurship is the act of behaving like an entrepreneur while working inside of a large organisation”
— Gifford Pinchot

In this interactive and engaging talk, Alison Edgar MBE delves into her years of research surrounding what makes top performers feel like they are running their own business, extracting the critical framework to enable your audience to harness an intrapreneurial mindset which will inspire continuous improvement and adaptability. 

Using her three-pillar approach, Alison inspires audiences to understand their key role in the wider team to enhance collaboration, communication, and well-being.

The Three Pillars of Intrapreneurship

  • intrapreneurship

    What would I do if it was my first day?

    On our first day in a new organisation, our mindsets are open, we are naturally more receptive to change, and nothing is too much trouble. Why does this agile approach fade over time and what can we do to stop this process in its tracks?

  • intrapreneurship-best-friends

    What would I do if it was my best friend?

    When effective communication falters, the joints of our previously well-oiled machine can begin to malfunction.

    We don’t have to be best friends with everybody in our organisation or our customers, but we must give them the same respect and communication level we would give to somebody we hold close to our heart. What can we do to give that ‘best friend’ service to internal and external customers?

  • What would I do if it was my business?

    At the heart of every successful business owner is passion. Passion for what they do, what they sell, and what they provide.

    Entrepreneurs maximise every second of every day, ensure no resources are wasted and see change as an opportunity to grow. How can we inspire all employees to embrace this way of thinking?
