How Cisco, GE, and Adobe do Intrapreneurship | IntraCnf

Innovation is not a single idea or serendipity; it is a disciplined process of exploration and experimentation. Successful companies embed innovation into all aspects of their business. Cisco launched the Innovate Everywhere Challenge, involving almost half of their 72,000 global workforce. GE developed FastWorks, teaching innovative, customer-focused working methods to their 350,000 workforce. Adobe developed Kickbox, encouraging employees in non-traditional roles to pursue ideas. Intuit trained Innovation Catalysts, who acted as coaches to teams in need, and created Discovery Teams to apply innovation principles to older, core products.
