KEYNOTE BY SPEAKER CRIS BESWICK

From Entrepreneurship to Intrapreneurship; a new approach to shaping the future

  • The best way for large, complex companies to compete in a VUCA, start-up-driven, disruptive world is not to fight the entrepreneurs that threaten their existence but to join them, to play them at their own game.
  • By building an organisation where intrapreneurs can thrive, companies not only leverage their assets and resources but tap into the latent power, creativity and innovation-hungry nature of their people in order to not just stay relevant but to shape the future.
