Fostering an intra-preneurial culture.
The UNILIN Arena, a 9-month Ideation & Development Track.
To reach these goals, Board of Innovation designed and facilitated a 9-month Intrapreneurship Program composed of an Ideation Track and a Development Track, referred to internally as “UNILIN Arena”.
During the Ideation Track, we inspired all employees in the global organization to submit creative ideas on a voluntary basis and within the requirements of UNILIN’s strategy. We gathered more than 100+ business ideas and funneled them to five winning concepts, together with UNILIN’s executives.
These five business concepts were admitted to the Development Track, where Board of Innovation supported them in the creation and validation of their business ideas to be able to convince the direction committee to invest in them, just like internal startups.
100+ intrapreneurs inspired, with two innovative projects in the pipeline.
Two out of five teams saw their business ideas awarded by UNILIN, which invested, allowed for further development, and included them into the company’s global innovation pipeline.
The overall initiative of UNILIN Arena got picked up by the Belgian newspaper (article in Dutch) and is set to be repeated.
