New Book Release: The Inside Innovator: A Practical Guide to Intrapreneurship

By Louis K. Gump, Andersen Alumni

Are you a changemaker who wants to achieve, grow, and build more within your organization?

If you're like many people, when you think of innovation, you think of entrepreneurs. And gifted entrepreneurs have written countless books for go-getters starting their own businesses. But what if you're a visionary who wants to innovate effectively within the framework of your larger organization? Far too often, you’ve been left to reinvent the wheel, over and over again… until now.

In this inspiring, yet practical primer, award-winning intrapreneur Louis K. Gump shines a light on the efforts that occur behind the walls of many organizations--from global business titans to local market leaders; from charitable nonprofits to government entities; from educational institutions to informal community groups and beyond; these are the places of the in-house innovators, the explorers, the intrapreneurs, who create value through innovation and growth, inside of a larger organization. Inside you’ll find:

● The Top Characteristics of Successful Intrapreneurs

● The Differences Between Intrapreneurship and Entrepreneurship

● The 3 Core Principles at The Heart of Business Innovation

● Why We Need Intrapreneurs to Train the Next Generation of Leaders
