Q-DAY 2022 – About this edition

Innovation from within

When we look closely at the numbers of those who foster and create innovation, we realize that this is carried out mainly by ordinary workers within the organization. More than two-thirds of the significant inventions of the last three decades have come from employees, not entrepreneurs. Many organizations do not sufficiently notice the potential innovation they have at home and indulge in high resource expenditure to buy innovation. Inventions such as the Internet, the cell phone, or email would not have been possible without open innovation and intrapreneurs. These are the people who, within organizations, seek to improve processes by doubting the default, developing new products, and thus, creating new revenue streams and increasing the productivity of the organization.

How do we foster intrapreneurs in our organizations? Can anyone be an intrapreneur? Is there a secret recipe? And how should we encourage Open Innovation in our organizations?

These are some of the questions we intend to answer in the next edition of Q-Day, which will have the theme “Innovation from Within”.
