Find a Champion
New series starting today! What if you are more of an analyst, or software developer, less so the trailblazing #champion or #intrapreneur? What should you do to help drive innovation? π€
In advance of our sessions at #ClarisEngage at Apple's offices in Austin TX, here are a few ideas for how you can charge up your innovation leadership game:
1. Find a #Champion.
Thatβs right! If you know that you are not naturally aligned with #intrapreneurship, simply start by finding an Intrapreneur to follow.
Youβve heard it said that certain teams struggle with a lack of leadership. Weβve certainly also all been on teams that lack #followership!
(And if no one is following, is anyone actually leading? π€·)
βββββββββββ
Here are some concrete steps to take before you kickoff your next big idea:
β
Identify an internal champion willing to trail-blaze innovation with you
β
Generate ideas, prototype solutions before you get approval and budget
β
Determine the level of best fit with corporate mission, vision
β
Assess other initiatives already in progress and how that might compete
β
Identify an executive sponsor to get behind it
β
Build your team of supporters
