Intrapreneurship

I've just come across a new and intriguing word...intrapreneurship!  I'd never heard of this word before a Sustainable Brands Article. The wikipedia definition is "the act of behaving like an entrepreneur, except within a large organization rather than a market as a whole."

Interesting concept. I think it embodies the most admirable trait of the executives I most admire. An innovative spirit for risky projects. These projects usually contribute to a highly genuine CSR campaign - the most successful type.

Here's a great example of one I read today...a Grist post - A Wisconsin hospital is powered by beer and cheese. - what a great story!

I hope I can be like this one day when I'm a Corporate Sustainability Officer :)

Welcome!

Welcome to "The Green"! I'll be posting short articles on interesting videos, movies, and projects relating to environmental issues, along with some longer self-researched pieces. I hope this will be a place where everyone can see the exciting and innovative things going on in the environmentally-conscious community!


About Me:
I have been interested in the environment, and science in general, since a very young age. Stimulated by some amazing elementary school teachers, a vacation to the Galapagos Islands, and an obsession with the National Geographic Channel, I have been researching the environment and greening my house, home, school, and friends for as long as I can remember.
