View learning outcomes →
As a social intrapreneur, you stimulate change from within your organisation. You develop impact-driven innovations that create value for both the organisation and society.
The challenge is getting people on board, building influence and dealing with persistent patterns and different interests within the organisation. At the same time, this asks for leadership: what role do you take, and how do you use your strengths effectively?
Deepen your leadership, sharpen the skills you need and learn how to lead change in a way that fits you and your organisation.
Understand your role and influence within the organisation and learn how to strengthen and use them in decision-making, collaboration and building support for your innovation.
Map which developments and interests beyond your organisation influence the change and how you can respond to them.
Primarily for ambitious social intrapreneurs who stimulate societal change from within their organisation, and for changemakers who work with organisations to accelerate change.
You work in an organisation and are developing or leading an impact-driven innovation there. You want to become stronger in influencing decisions, handling resistance and bringing people along in your initiative.
You are an independent professional, consultant or advisor who supports organisations in societal or sustainable change. You want to act more effectively within complex organisations and bring different interests together.
By the end of the programme you will have
Deepened your knowledge of transition, innovation and organisational change and applied it to your own practice.
Gained more insight into your position and influence within your organisation and the wider system.
Further developed your leadership and learned how to use it in a way that fits both you and the organisation’s goals.
Learned how to deal with different interests and conduct constructive conversations and negotiations with stakeholders within and beyond the organisation.
Gained more clarity about which strategic choices are needed to realise or scale your initiative.
Developed a deeper understanding of the dynamics and patterns that can accelerate or slow down organisational change.
Taken concrete steps towards realising or scaling the social impact you want to make.
The programme combines five learning modules, personal coaching and practical assignments directly connected to your own organisation.
The programme works from the inside out: from your role as a transition leader to the dynamics within your organisation and ultimately the wider system in which you want to realise change.
Change starts with your own role as a social intrapreneur. What leadership does this change ask of you, which strengths do you already use well and what do you still need to become more effective?
Then you look at your role within the organisation: your position and influence, the interests at play and the patterns that support or hinder change. You examine what is needed to bring people along and exercise influence on decisions about your initiative.
Finally, you zoom out to the wider system in which your organisation operates: the parties, interests and developments that influence the change and how you can respond to them.
Scaling societal impact
As a social intrapreneur, you take the initiative to create societal and sustainable change from within an existing organisation. This requires more than a good idea: you need to bring people along, build influence and deal with existing structures and different interests.
