In the previous section of this course, “Setting the Stage,” we talked about the benefits of intrapreneurship for your business.

This section is focused on developing opportunities.

We’ll talk about strategies for the rising generation to learn more about the current state of the business, as a foundation for identifying innovative opportunities that would be the best fit for moving your business forward.

After completing this section, you’ll work through an Exploration Activity, during which you’ll exchange insights into potential new ventures. Instructions are available in the course Action Guide.

If you haven’t already, please take a moment now to download the guide before continuing.

Members of the rising and senior generations will complete this section from two different but complementary perspectives.

• The rising gen will learn and be able to describe the current business strategy
• The senior gen will communicate the current business strategy
• The rising gen will be able to explain the steps for generating and evaluating ideas
• The senior gen will practice providing feedback on ideas
• The rising gen will explore the benefits of being coached
• The senior gen will practice being an effective coach

It’s important you recognize what the other generation is trying to achieve. That way, you can work together to introduce the innovations that will fuel your business’ success in the future.
