Social Entrepreneurship Within Your Current Organization

Entrepreneurship is a term often associated with the idea of a person or a group of people going out there in the world to use their innovation and ideas to create a system which makes a profit, produces results, creates jobs and succeeds. But is it possible for someone, an employee for instance to tap into that entrepreneurial spirit even though they work inside a larger organisation? Apparently it can. I came across an interesting word a few days ago and it was ‘intrapreneurship’ and I like to look at that word in context of social entrepreneurs and social enterprises. Now intrapreneurship is the idea that an employee within a larger organisation can actually harness an entrepreneurial spirit to use their skills and influence of the people within their organisation and using the system of the organisation itself, changing it and influencing it, to then produce impactful results.
