CREATES INTRAPRENEURS THAT HELP ORGANIZATIONS TO SOAR
Did You Know... There are some very compelling reasons to place emphasis on intrepreneurialism in the workplace. The term intrapreneurialism is about demonstrating the qualities of an entrepreneur - inside an organization. A number of studies have shown that:
One Intrapreneurial employee is worth more than multiple engaged employees in terms of the VALUE they bring through innovation and creativity
Interpreneurs proactively pursue opportunities for improving business systems and business models from the inside out
Bringing an intrapreneurial mind-set to day-to-day workplace activity, can help individuals, teams and organisations achieve their strategic goals and unleash potential.
Intrapreneurialism is a relatively new concept so there is a skills gap in this area. This program addresses that gap.

Gifford Pinchot
Gifford Pinchot III coined the terms “intrapreneur and intrapreneurship.” His book, Intrapreneuring: Why You Don’t Have to Leave the Corporation to Become an Entrepreneur (1985), introduced a new way of fostering innovation by creating space for innovators to express their entrepreneurial spirit within existing organizations. The book was a NY Times bestseller and published in 15 languages. He has received numerous awards in his lifetime, among them, Executive Excellence, naming him number 19 among the top 100 leadershipthinkers. Gifford is also writing a new book entitled The New Intrapreneuring. David Gram has worked with radical innovation and lean start-up methods in large global corporations for the last 15 years, as Senior Innovation Director in the LEGO Group’s Future Lab, as Head of Innovation at Scandinavian Airlines - and most recently as Head of Venturing, EMEA at LEGO Ventures. He is also the co-founder of Diplomatic Rebels; a company dedicated to empowering companies and intrapreneurs around the world to become stronger innovators.

A nutrition enthusiast and startup co-founder, dedicated to closing the gap within our food system by making healthier food more accessible while reducing our carbon footprint. Reyanne and Kristian were shocked by the overwhelming amount of food waste being discarded at the end of each day from their San Diego workplace. They embarked on a mission to create a new product that used the leftover cooked rice and quinoa, turning it into cookies and helping stop the unnecessary discarding of perfectly good food into landfill. soulmuchfoods.com/collections/all

FROM THE
EDITOR IN CHIEF DR. IRENA YASHIN-SHAW
The momentum that is being generated by Intrapreneur Magazine is very exciting. It is now a global publication with contributors from all around the world. In this issue we take a look at intrapreneurs who are doing great things in Australia, US, Europe and Africa. I am particularly excited about being able to feature on the cover of this Issue Gifford Pinchot III. Gifford is the ‘Godfather’ of modern day intrapreneurialism having coined the term in a paper he wrote with his wife Libba back in 1978 and then elaborated it further in his 1985 book Intrapreneuring. It is available on Kindle so you can download it and read it right now (or as soon as you’ve finished reading this issue). Be sure to watch my interview with Gifford on Intrapreneur TV as well as the discussion lead by Gifford for Thames TV back in 1986 with Richard Branson (Virgin) and Anita Roddick (The Body Shop) in the early days of their entrepreneurial careers. What really struck me about this discussion is its contemporary applicability despite it having been recorded over 30 years ago. It is a testament to how far ahead of the times these brilliant thinkers were.
Also, in this issue we hear from Louise Kyhl Triolo, VP of Intrapreneurial Culture at Airbus, who is working on making intrapreneurship the new normal throughout the organisation. Don’t you just love the title of her role! I’m sure we will see more of these kinds of titles as progressive organisations take up the challenge to unleash intrapreneurialism. We gain some insight into the state of intrapreneurialism in Africa through an interview with Yusuf Mutamba, an attorney and innovation management specialist in Uganda. From Australia we bring you the story of intrapreneurialism in 3M, an organisation with a proud history of innovation. Unofficial intrapreneur-in-residence for LEGO, David Gram puts out the challenge to intrapreneurs to be ‘Diplomatic Rebels’. Read about how he adds value to this iconic brand. What has now become a regular feature in each publication is a story about the transition from intrapreneur to entrepreneur. You won’t want to miss the inspiring story of two intrapreneurs in San Diego who tried unsuccessfully to get their employer to adopt their idea. In the end they started their own business and now repurpose tonnes of perfectly good food that would otherwise end up in landfill. If you know of intrapreneurs doing remarkable things or have a story you feel should be included in a future issue – please contact me at editorinchief@intrapreneurmagazine.com and my highly capable and talented team will take it from there.
