Welcome to a special episode of the The Agile Brand podcast that we call The Agile Brand Guide to Intrapreneurship. 

While entrepreneurs are often lauded with creating new businesses and ideas, it is more often the case that change agents working within organizations—intrapreneurs—are responsible for innovation and seeing those new ideas through to completion. The Agile Brand Guide to Intrapreneurship shares stories and insights from leaders within organizations that had the courage to create new ways to move a business forward.
