Your online learning journey

Over this three-phase program, with intensive hands-on coaching support from experts, teams will build prototypes and test them on the market

Phase 1: Ideation

Exploration of intrapreneurial opportunities and idea generation

Teams begin their intrapreneurial journey by:

  • exploring the full landscape of current disruptive trends within their industry.
  • getting familiar with the mechanics of entrepreneurship.
  • generating novel ideas to develop into real business opportunities.
Phase 2: Acceleration

Testing winning ideas

  • In this phase, teams will test their ideas for desirability, feasibility, and viability through business model development and by creating a minimum viable product that they test on the market.
Phase 3: Execution

Convince the stakeholders and drive your opportunity forward

  • Teams will pitch their winning opportunities to key stakeholders within their organization and execute an action plan to implement.
  • This phase also focuses on developing sustainable intrapreneurial capabilities within the organization.

Coaching

Each team will have a dedicated learning coach, ensuring that they receive a highly individualized learning experience.

Their designated learning coach accompanies them throughout their 10-week online journey. They provide support and feedback as teams apply their learning to the workplace, where it has an immediate impact.

Their input helps teams to translate their learning for their particular organization. By spreading this feedback regularly throughout the program, teams successfully embed their ongoing learning directly into their daily work.

Their learning coach interacts with them via video, in writing, and over the phone. You have calls, spread across the 10 weeks, at intervals that consolidate their learning.

Despite their market dominance and abundance of resources, established businesses are increasingly uncertain about their future, and are struggling to adapt to the new reality of disruption. If they want to stay alive, and relevant, they need to actively address these issues before it is too late.
