1 Why is intrapreneurship an important topic? 

Large companies struggle to survive in an increasingly disruptive and uncertain economic world. Traditional management approaches seem to offer insufficient answers to today’s innovation challenges. The concept of “intrapreneurship” – where dedicated entrepreneurial employees innovate within companies – is recognised as a promising approach to this challenge. Employees have exclusive insights into business processes and recognise great business opportunities which could be exploited by their companies. 

As nice side effect, employees gain new professional skills and motivation for the job, increase their independence and raise their employability. But there are many ways to do it wrong, therefore we decided to offer this massive, scalable and open learning opportunity and connect hundreds of intrapreneurs so as to unleash their potential.

2 How did you go about developing the MOOC?

The course was developed under the umbrella of the EU-funded project BizMOOC, between two universities and two business partners, to bring in the expertise from both sides. It became a finalist for the Teaching Innovation and Entrepreneurship Excellence Award of the European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship and is now offered in a new version on the renowned openSAP platform.
