Most people believe entrepreneurs and startups are the primary sources of creative ideas and innovation. They believe that large corporations are inherently structured to inhibit innovative ideas and entrepreneurial action. The prevailing narrative of internal corporate innovators, or Intrapreneurs, is one of frustration and disenchantment.
This narrative is incorrect.
Recent Outthinker Networks shows that in fact, intrapreneurship is responsible for more of society’s most transformative innovations than startups and entrepreneurs. Forward-looking organizations that treat employees like intrapreneurs enjoy a competitive edge in their ability to recruit and retain top talent and outperform financially.Â
- 70% of society’s most transformative innovations have come from intrapreneurs working inside large established organizations, not entrepreneurs.
- Companies that treat employees as intrapreneurs are 3X more likely to be in the top quintile of financial performance.
- Those companies enjoy a 2.5X advantage in their ability to recruit and retain top talent.
