I consider myself an Intrapreneur at IBM! Yes, and IBM has hundreds and thousands of entrepreneurs who joined our ranks through numerous acquisitions!
We’d love for you to join us at our IBM Entrepreneur Week Feb 3-9 for a mix of great virtual and in person events!
This week will be global!!!
Intrapreneurs and Entrepreneurs are great friends!!!
- Entrepreneurs provide the spark. Intrapreneurs keep the flame going.
- Entrepreneurs are found anywhere their vision takes them. Intrapreneurs work within the confines of an organization.
- Entrepreneurs face many hurdles, and are sometimes ridiculed and riddled with setbacks. Intrapreneurs may sometimes have to deal with conflict within the organization.
- Entrepreneurs may find it difficult to get resources. Intrapreneurs have their resources readily available to them.
- Entrepreneurs may lose everything when they fail. Intrapreneurs still have a paycheck to look forward to (at least for now) if they fail.
- Entrepreneurs know the business on a macro scale. Intrapreneurs are highly skilled and specialized.
