This slide deck offers the author's proposal of the amalgamation of various discussions in the areas of innovation to compile an early stage intrapreneurship framework. Work from Steve Blank, Henry Chesbrough, Tina Seelig, and others is referenced in this short compilation.

2. Intrapreneurship Defined
According to Wikipedia:
“Intrapreneurship is the act of behaving like
an entrepreneur while working within a large
organization.”

3. Paraphrasing the ‘Inventure Cycle’ (1)
● Imagination is envisioning things that do not
exist
● Creativity is applying imagination to address
a challenge
● Innovation is applying creativity to generate
unique solutions
● Intrapreneurship is applying innovation,
bringing ideas to fruition, by inspiring others’
imagination

4. Roadmap to Success (1)
● Imagination requires engagement and the
ability to envision alternatives
● Creativity requires motivation and
experimentation to address challenges
● Innovation requires focusing and reframing
to generate unique solutions
● Intrapreneurship requires persistence and
the ability to inspire others

5. Play to Win!
The InnovateWithin Way
● Imagination: talk to (internal or external)
customers and understand their challenges
● Creativity: perform a particular job with either
more efficacy or at lower cost than
alternatives (2)
● Innovation: challenge the status quo, apply
lateral thinking (3)
● Intrapreneurship: You have to fight – and win
– on two fronts (both outside and inside), in
order to succeed in corporate venturing (4)
