Employees as intrapreneurs

The Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox approach

Looking to improve your employees’ creativity and innovation skills? Look no further than our Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox (TILT) program! The Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox is an applied corporate entrepreneurship learning program built around a physical toolbox enabling your employees to innovate like startups within your organization.

TILT is more than just a box. It’s a strategic management framework to foster an entrepreneurial spirit within established companies. It’s a structure to make new business ideas work within an existing organization. It’s the employee’s mentor guiding how to think like an entrepreneur and become more innovative.

Employees as intrapreneur?

Tell me more!

Many companies struggle to turn their employees into independent intrapreneurs. And that’s a shame! Your hands-on people with their feet on the ground know best what is going on and where improvement is needed. And most often, they are very willing to share their ideas to help the company forward. But those ideas then aren’t validated or developed, leaving them in this hunch state that management cannot decide upon.

You turn your employees into independent innovators with the Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox (TILT)! TILT is about creating innovative habits. It’s not a one-directed training that ends up in your drawer. It’s an applied learning approach to develop intrapreneurs that can independently generate value for your company!

participants' feedback

“It gave a real insight into what it takes to be an entrepreneur, what it takes to succeed an, and not judge failures."

“The program is revolutionary! I really feel the business has placed great trust and a significant investment in me and makes me driven to repay that!”

Manage within your organization

Over 70% of the most transformative innovations over the past 30 years have come from employees working within a corporation i.e. intrapreneurs. That is on top of the incremental ways to improve customer service, workplace productivity or profits. But one has to recognize it’ often hard to be an intrapreneur within large organizations, with their competitive hierarchies, firm organizational processes and tendency to avoid failure.

Realizing the concept of intrapreneurship within an organization will foster a culture of innovation and help you stay competitive; both towards your customers as well as your employees and new hires. The Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox program is the perfect approach to cultivate an innovation culture and expose people within the company to new ways of thinking and acting. Like an entrepreneur within the firm!

Virgin could never have grown into the group of more than 200 companies it is now, were it not for a steady stream of intrapreneurs who looked for and developed opportunities.

Embed intrapreneurship into your company

Always tailored to your brand and ambitions

Included are standard learning, application, and reflection cards based on proven methods and frameworks.

The boxes work according to a canvas that serves as the basis for the final pitch to decision-makers. Each canvas section comes with instructional cards that guide your people through step-by-step instructions.

These pragmatic tools help them build and validate their bright ideas, and make sure they present desirable, feasible, viable and sustainable initiatives in their pitches to leadership.

One size does not fit all. We believe in and will provide you with a completely tailored solution. The box(es), the canvas, the cards, and the tools.

To enable employees bridging the gap between an initial idea and a profitable solution, requires the approach to be aligned to your ambitions, your decision-making criteria, your industry and your organization as a whole.
