Title: Fast and Frugal Intrapreneurship: Solving Problems Now with the Resources You Already Have
Thinking like an entrepreneur isn’t just for startups. Solving even the biggest problems starts with you and the resources you already have. What you need is the right mindset and a simple toolkit to get you there.
Based on her research in emerging markets and her bestselling book, Jugaad Innovation, Simone will share inspiring stories of frugal innovators who solve problems large and small with the right mindset and a set of guiding principles. This high-value, low-resource approach to problem-solving takes place at the intersection of business, design, and social innovation.
