Published on

Intrapreneur: A manager within a company who promotes innovative product development and marketing. Intrapreneurs are invaluable to business today — they enable innovation, grow bottom lines, and introduce new perspectives to established companies. But more than anything, it’s the energy they bring to teams that benefits workplaces. They think independently, take initiative, exhibit ownership, accept their role as leaders, and make decisions. No one is in a more perfect position to do this and be this than Project Managers.

In this session, Nancy Lyons speaks to the core attributes of intrapreneurship and intrapreneurs and discuss how — and why — to bring these characteristics into your daily work.
