7 Strata of Intrapreneurial Organizations: Self-Disrupt and Innovate Faster Than Customers or Competition

The book 7 Strata of Intrapreneurial Organizations: Self-Disrupt and Innovate Faster Than Customers or Competition provides a framework for organizational transformation and a roadmap for innovation. The level of transformation required goes far beyond just incremental and disruptive innovation, a digital business model, or even a digital transformation. A complete metamorphosis must occur where culture (and behavior) becomes the driver of creativity, the key to innovation. Manager-owners become the drivers of workforce engagement, bridging a seventy percent variance in employee participation. Across the organization, workforce intrapreneurs (with an entrepreneurial mindset) become the drivers of innovation and self-disruption, leading to organizational self-disruption. Customer stakeholders lead the dance and become the drivers of value creation. Business ecosystems become the drivers of collaboration, creating greater value for all stakeholders. Change management becomes the driver of rapid adaptation. Innovation management becomes the driver of agile and ambidextrous growth for both core sustaining innovation and beyond-core disruptive innovation.

7 Strata of Intrapreneurial Organizations focuses on digital transformation in the context of equipping and engaging people, the greatest asset and most difficult challenge. People are the limiter in the race for change. People are the stakeholders and catalysts for effecting innovation, self-disruption, and digital transformation. People are the key to surviving the chaos and surfing the digital wave to thrive in the future.

7 Strata of Intrapreneurial Organizations assimilates and summarizes what cutting-edge organizations worldwide are doing to survive and thrive in the digital transformation. It brings together and synergizes complementary methodologies and practices to provide transformational leaders, innovation labs, and intrapreneurs with an end-to-end, idea to impact (ideation, problem discovery, viability and incubation, launch and acceleration, scaling up, reshaping the core) intrapreneurial spirit, framework, and roadmap that enables any organization to equip their people to rapidly adapt to disruptive change faster than the customer or the competition.
