Join fellow alumni in this free webinar to dive into the exciting world of intrapreneurship and learn how to act like an entrepreneur inside your current company.
Intrapreneurs are the entrepreneurs within organizations—change agents who are passionate about problem solving. Why would you want to act like an entrepreneur inside your organization? What are the key enablers for success? Business innovation pro, Ferhan Bulca, introduces you to the intrapreneurial frameworks and networking skills to grow on the job.
This career webinar is brought to you in partnership with the School of Continuing Studies.
You'll learn:
- Key enablers for a successful intrapreneurial endeavour, and
- Real-life cases where these key enablers were present and not present, as well as consequences.
Ferhan Bulca has built three business lines as an intrapreneur. He also co-founded, led as CEO, and sold a medical technology company as an entrepreneur. Ferhan will share his key learnings in his intrapreneurial journey with some examples for the good, the bad, and the ugly.
