Paul explained his vision that anybody can benefit from an entrepreneurial mindset and proposed that employees could contribute far more to their organisations, and experience greater job satisfaction, if they were encouraged to take an intrapreneurial approach. He proposed that leaders should role model the right behaviours to their staff and he called on HR professionals to do what they could to ensure that HR processes help to create a “can do” company culture.    

The panel concluded that many companies want to be more intrapreneurial but face common obstacles. There was an inherent tension between on the one hand intrapreneurs supporting the company mission and on the other their role in challenging the status quo.  Paul explained how with the right mindset this can be a creative tension that generates positive outcomes for employees, the organisation and customers. ◼️
