It demands that we lead our teams and organizations in radically new ways. Success depends not only on our own ability to think and act strategically, but on our ability to enable our team to think boldly, think differently, share ideas, and act. Leaders who activate this Outthinker Mindset and provide their people with the structures, frameworks, and tools to creatively solve challenges and innovate are 6X more likely to recruit and retain top talent and 3X more likely to outperform financially (faster revenue growth, higher profit margins, higher business value). How do you do this?

Companies that treat their people as “Intrapreneurs” (corporate innovators) are building a competitive advantage that infuses innovation and adaptability into their DNA. Transformation becomes a toned muscle and capability that can be exercised repeatedly as needed. Best-selling author and globally ranked innovation expert Kaihan Krippendorff’s research shows companies with active Intrapreneur networks are 3X more likely to be in the top quintile of financial performance and enjoy a 6X advantage in their ability to recruit and retain top talent. The IN-OVATE framework provides a specific and practical approach to turn your employees into Intrapreneurs and build capacity for enterprise-wide transformation and smart innovation. In this inspiring and high-impact keynote (customized for your event), Kaihan shows how organizations can unlock the power of Intrapreneurship, and how you, the individual Intrapreneur, can navigate barriers, overcome resistance, and take the initiative to drive transformation across your organization. The audience will leave with and learn: • A framework to overcome the seven blockers of innovation. • Five mindsets and habits of successful Intrapreneurs. • How to innovate even if it is not a part of their title. • Inspired and energized to think differently, take smart risks, learn, and improve. ### Leading Beyond Disruption: The Proximity Revolution In a world of constant disruption, technological change, and megatrend turbulence, how do we transform the way we lead and work?
