Intrapreneurship in Established Organizations | Tone Marie Wahlstrom | TEDxBergen

Working with innovation in a big organization, I will share the importance of intrapreneurship in established companies. At the speed in which change is happening in the business world today, big companies that do not embrace innovation and intrapreneurship will fall by the way side. The companies that do embrace it will surely distance themselves from their competitors and thrive long into the future. Media focuses a lot on entrepreneurs; our prime minister says that we need new firms that will move Norway into the future. However, that does not mean that our existing companies shall die out. We also have to acknowledge that big organizations must change, and they need the entrepreneurial minds inside the organizations to be a part of the future. By focusing on an intrapreneurial culture, the organizations will move forward in a higher phase than without. She is a Financial Economist leading the Innovation Hub in the Nordics biggest IT company - EVRY. Working with innovation and the future of technologies is what drives her – especially when it's combined with a team of different competencies and nationalities. In 1,5 years she has built a department focusing on innovation, technologies and intrapreneurship – creating the business of tomorrow for our customers and ourselves. This has changed the landscape of our organization, and she will share how and why it's important. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
