HERALD SCOTLAND has announced that Sandy Kennedy, chief executive of Entrepreneurial Scotland, will join the line-up for next month’s inaugural Intrapreneurial Conference in association with CivTech Scotland.
Mr Kennedy will be speaking throughout our Leadership Session covering Entrepreneur vs Intrapreneur: what’s the difference? This will offer an interesting debate during the conference.
He joins an array of high-profile speakers, including Lisa Dunlop, service manager, OD & Change, Stirling Council and Alexander Holt, head of CivTech Scotland.
Also speaking are Maria McGill, chief executive, CHAS and George McVerry, head of lifelong learning at City of Glasgow College.
Katy McNeil, intrapreneurial lead at CivTech, said: “In a disruptive world where competition is global, and citizens are increasingly demanding of services, the need for public and private sector organisations to create additional value is pressing.
“The rise of the intrapreneur, a person inside an organisation that can spot those opportunities, is the response. Intrapreneurship is a set of tools and a mindset that organisations across Scotland need to develop.”
Steve McCreadie, chief executive of The Lens, is supporting the event alongside SHIL (Scottish Health Innovations) and 200 SVS.
He said: “The Lens are proud to sponsor the first Intrapreneurial Conference in Scotland. We believe frontline staff have the ideas, passion and commitment to help make the most of the opportunities and challenges organisations are facing.”
The event takes place on Tuesday August 28 at 200 SVS, 200 St Vincent Street in Glasgow from 8.45am-3pm. To book your place, visit http://newsquestscotlandevents.com/events/intrapreneurialconference/ or call Kirsty Loughlin on 0141 302 6016.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
