What You'll Learn
Students in our program join a collaborative and supportive learning community, working
alongside faculty and peers who are passionate about leading innovation activities
and creating or growing intrapreneurial ventures within organizations. Students will
learn to be innovative and creative thinkers who recognize intrapreneurial opportunities
and when intrapreneurial opportunities can be created. They will be able to apply
relevant tools and strategies to inspire and guide transformation and adaptation within
an established organization.
Students will learn to communicate effectively with the internal constituencies of
an organization, including officers, managers, employees, and agents, but also with
the external constituencies of an organization, including customers, investors, lenders,
suppliers, and regulatory agencies.
