An essential business guide on how to develop an organisation’s innovation culture and internal entrepreneurs (intrapreneurs), with an emphasis on African innovation cases.The Intrapreneur’s Journey: Empowering Employees to Drive Growth is a must-read for any entrepreneur, innovator, manager or senior executive who wants to successfully compete in today’s fast-changing world. Based on the observation that the most under-utilised assets in most organisations are the ideas in their employees’ heads, the authors offer first-hand experience and in-depth analysis on how intrapreneurship powers some of the world’s leading innovative businesses and other types of organisations. The proposition is simple: established organisations see continuous delivery of innovative products, services and processes when they enable teams of entrepreneurial employees to think and behave like start-ups. This new edition adds up-to-date discussions and references on the theory and practice of intrapreneurship and innovation, making this an ideal book for students, researchers and professionals in the field. It includes informative examples and case studies ranging from large multinational corporations to small and medium-size enterprises in a primarily pan-African, but globally relevant context. Written in an accessible, easy to read style, this book features a series of assessments and tools to help implement the book’s Intrapreneurship Empowerment Model in any organisation. This book will be a leading practical guide on how to establish a culture of innovation.Illustrations Preface Acknowledgements Introduction: The Intrapreneurship Empowerment Model Chapter 1: Time and Freedom Chapter 2: A Dedicated Innovation Team Chapter 3: Design Thinking Chapter 4: Open Collaboration Chapter 5: Lean Experimentation Chapter 6: Align for Yes Chapter 7: Integrated Intrapreneurship Conclusion: Sustaining Success Appendices: A.

Personne ne les a vus venir. Pourtant, en douze ans, ils sont passés de quatre à trois cents collaborateurs et ont fait de Meilleurs Agents un poids lourd de l’immobilier.   En cassant de nombreuses règles, en utilisant la data, la science, et en faisant preuve d’audace et de malice, ils se sont imposés dans un marché qui ne voulait pas d’eux. Ce sont les étapes de cette aventure que raconte le livre, depuis la vision initiale jusqu’au rachat par le groupe Axel Springer et enfin l’internationalisation.   Au fil des pages, on comprend que leur attachement à des valeurs d’entraide et de respect, loin de les fragiliser, les a rendus insubmersibles. Une vraie leçon d’optimisme pour tous ceux qui veulent entreprendre et réussir sans perdre leur âme et qui n’aiment pas qu’on leur dise que c’est impossible.   Sébastien de Lafond est cofondateur de Meilleurs Agents, entreprise qu’il a présidée de 2008 à 2020.   Gilles Lockhart est journaliste économique. Prologue Chapitre 1 – Trouver la bonne idée et l’équipe qui va avec – Comment choisir ses associés pour constituer une équipe qui va tenir dans la durée Chapitre 2 – Mission et fixation de la quille du bateau – Comment fortifier l’idée de départ pour la rendre opérationnelle et comment aligner tout le monde sur une même vision de l’entreprise Chapitre 3 – Les valeurs comme colonne vertébrale de l’entreprise – Comment la bienveillance, l’entraide et la recherche de l’excellence ont été les fondements de Meilleurs Agents Chapitre 4 – Choix décisifs et phase d’accélération – Pour que la mayonnaise monte, il faut prendre des risques et inventer des solutions qui ne figurent pas « dans le manuel »… Chapitre 5 – Stratégie médiatique et coups de génie – Ou comment devenir une marque grand public sans budget publicitaire Chapitre 6 – Tout miser sur la science et l’innovation – Ou comment l’approche scientifique dans un secteur qui en était dépourvu a bouleversé l’ordre établi Chapitre 7 – Attirer, faire grandir et retenir les meilleurs – Les secrets pour recruter et fidéliser les champions de la nouvelle génération Chapitre 8 – Trouver les bons actionnaires et les gérer – Fonctionnement du board, gouvernance : comment maintenir la cordée des investisseurs dans la durée Chapitre 9 – Se renforcer en surmontant les coups durs – Attendez-vous aux accidents et aux coups fourrés et tirez-en des occasions de rebond et de croissance Chapitre 10 – S’adapter toujours, pivoter son business model – Comment faire évoluer son activité économique sans casser sa boîte Chapitre 11 – S’adapter encore en bousculant l’organisation – Comment repositionner les managers historiques pour qu’ils restent motivés et utiles à l’entreprise Chapitre 12 – Chercher le jackpot sans perdre le Nord – Préparez votre sortie capitalistique longtemps à l’avance, mais ne gérez pas votre entreprise en fonction de cela Chapitre 13 – Quand l’acquéreur embrasse la vision – Ou quand les fondateurs réalisent que le moment de quitter l’entreprise est proche et que leur stratégie est validée par Axel Springer

Qui sont ces personnes qui innovent ? Quelles sont leurs façons de penser et d’agir ? Des réponses à ces questions sont présentées sous la forme d’histoires de vies fascinantes. De nos jours, la majorité des projets innovants, dont les créations de produits/ services et d’entreprises, sont réalisés par des équipes composées principalement de trois catégories différentes mais complémentaires d’agents d’innovation : des entrepreneurs qui partagent leur vision, des facilitateurs qui les soutiennent de façon créative et des intrapreneurs qui ne cessent d’innover dans les organisations qui les emploient. Ce livre présente six histoires de vies remarquables et suggère des exercices qui aident à se préparer afin de devenir agent d’innovation. LES ENTREPRENEURS Coco Chanel est la première femme à avoir créé des produits qui s’adressent au marché global. Alain Bouchard a d’abord créé un dépanneur. Avec Couche-Tard/Circle K, il en a dirigé plus de 15 000, employant 130 000 personnes dans plus de 30 pays. LES FACILITATEURS Réal Plourde a joué un rôle majeur pour soutenir la réalisation de la vision d’Alain Bouchard. Pierre Nelis a contribué à la mise en marché d’un logiciel qui a révolutionné l’industrie du cinéma par la production de films tel Jurassic Park. Après son passage chez Microsoft, il a développé un système de facilitation externe unique en son genre chez Inno-centre. LES INTRAPRENEURS Elmar Mock a créé la Swatch et la RockWatch, puis Creaholic, son entreprise axée sur la facilitation externe en soutien à l’inventivité et à la création d’innovations. Emerson de Almeida, ce journaliste devenu intrapreneur, a cocréé la Fundação Dom Cabral, devenue une institution leader en formation continue à la gestion au Brésil. La dernière partie du livre comprend une série d’exercices conçus pour des personnes de toutes disciplines afin de développer une pensée conduisant à l’activité innovante.

Préface de Jean-François Harvey Louis Jacques FILION, figure incontournable de l’entrepreneuriat :« De nouvelles lunettes pour les créateurs d’entreprises. Un livre inspirant pour entreprendre autrement ! ». Éric REMY, socio-anthropologue de la consommation : « Une stimulante rencontre entre la logique communautaire ou tribale et la logique entrepreneuriale ». Gaspard G., youtubeur et entrepreneur : « Une bouffée d’oxygène pour les créateurs de start-up ». Internet regorge de conseils aux apprentis entrepreneurs sur les façons de créer, de développer et d’animer une communauté autour de leur projet de start-up. Pourtant, une communauté ne se décrète pas : elle se cultive avec ses membres, et non pour ses membres ! À partir de ce constat, l’objectif de l’ouvrage est de proposer une alternative à ces listes de conseils avec une approche intégrant pleinement la communauté dans la démarche entrepreneuriale. La communauté est ainsi envisagée comme une composante incontournable et non secondaire. Pour y parvenir et en recueillir les fruits en matière de développement de marque et de marché, le livre propose de suivre les cinq étapes suivantes : 1) défendre une cause et lancer un mouvement ; 2) recruter des volontaires et organiser leur collaboration ; 3) favoriser l’interaction en ligne et hors ligne ; 4) développer des rituels ; 5) mettre du lien dans la proposition de valeur. Pour contextualiser cette approche, de nombreux exemples viennent clarifier les notions mobilisées. L’ouvrage se conclut par la mise en exergue d’un nécessaire développement conjoint du modèle de communauté et du modèle d’affaires.

Sandra Shpilberg will show you a new way to succeed as an entrepreneur! This provocative startup tale of success exposes Silicon Valley’s startup myths and sets forth a new approach for aspiring and current founders to build companies that make an impact.In New Startup Mindset, Sandra Shpilberg, founder and CEO of Seeker Health, introduces a new mind-set for starting and building a successful company. Shpilberg shows that Silicon Valley’s startup formula - a few young male cofounders attempting to build a unicorn funded by venture capital - is a broken system that puts excessive emphasis on hype and improbable outsized outcomes, disregards real results such as revenue and profit, and promotes limiting beliefs for the next generation of entrepreneurs.In 2015, Shpilberg founded Seeker Health, a digital patient-finding platform. The company grew rapidly to serve over 60 biotechnology companies, connect millions of patients with serious diseases to clinical trials, and achieve great financial success.From the start, Shpilberg did almost everything differently than the blazed path. She chose to be a solo founder, didn’t pursue an incubator, didn’t accept outside funding, led development of software despite not being a programmer, and charged customers from month one.Instead of creating hype about fundraising based on fictitious valuations, Shpilberg focused on customer needs, yielding a startup with revenue, profit, and impact; and in September 2018, a large life science services company acquired her startup while she was still the sole owner.In New Startup Mindset, Shpilberg shares her success story of starting, building, and exiting her startup and provides listeners with sage insights and practical tools to follow this approach. This book is simultaneously a needed dose of reality for Silicon Valley and a large serving of inspiration for those who want to create something from nothing.It is a must-listen for aspiring startup founders and current entrepreneurs, especially those who may think they don’t fit the mold of a Silicon Valley founder and are open to a new way of making a definitive and profound impact with the companies they create.

“This book shows how using business as a force for good, not just pursuing short-term profits, can be better for consumers, employees, local communities, the environment, and your company’s long-term bottom line.” —Tony Hsieh, New York Times bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO, Zappos.com, Inc. “This book shows how using business as a force for good, not just pursuing short-term profits, can be better for consumers, employees, local communities, the environment, and your company's long-term bottom line.”—Tony Hsieh, New York Times bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO, Zappos.com, Inc. B Corps are a global movement of more than 2,700 companies in 60 countries—like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's, Kickstarter, Danone North America, and Eileen Fisher—that are using the power of business as a force for good. B Corps have been certified to have met rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This book is the authoritative guide to the what, why, and how of B Corp certification.Coauthors Ryan Honeyman and Dr. Tiffany Jana spoke with the leaders of over 200 B Corps from around the world to get their insights on becoming a Certified B Corp, improving their social and environmental performance, and building a more inclusive economy. The second edition has been completely revised and updated to include a much stronger focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). These changes are important because DEI can no longer be a side conversation—it must be a core value for any company that aspires to make money and make a difference.While this book is framed around the B Corp movement, any company, regardless of size, industry, or location, can use the tools contained here to learn how to build a better business. As the authors vividly demonstrate, using business as a force for good can help you attract and retain the best talent, distinguish your company in a crowded market, and increase trust in your brand.
