A CONFERENCE dedicated to the growing importance of intrapreneurship in business is being held by The Herald in August, in association with CivTech, the Scottish Government Digital Directorate.
Scotland’s first Intrapreneurial Conference, which is also supported by The Lens and Scottish Health Innovations Ltd (SHIL), comes as companies increasingly look to harness internal entrepreneurship to develop a competitive edge. The conference is aimed at delegates from private, public and third sector organisations, who will hear from an array of high-profile speakers.
The line-up includes Sandy Kennedy, chief executive of Entrepreneurial Scotland, and Katy McNeil, intrapreneurship lead of CivTech. Ms McNeil said: “Intrapreneurship is a growing global movement, so it is fantastic to support this new conference and highlight how we are using the Scottish Government’s CivTech programme to develop public service leaders with the entrepreneurial mindset needed to deliver for citizens in the 21st century.”
Speakers at the event will also include Steve McCreadie, chief executive of The Lens, who said: “The Lens is excited to be part of the first Intrapreneurship Conference to be held in Scotland. We are looking forward to exploring how intrapreneurship can help create a culture of innovation in organisations and empower front line staff to turn their ideas into action.”
Graham Watson, executive chairman of SHIL, said: “SHIL has been working in collaboration with NHS Scotland since 2002. We look forward to showcasing the many successes originating from NHS Scotland staff, encouraging a culture of intrapreneurism across all sectors and learning from others.”
The event takes place at 200 St Vincent Street in Glasgow on August 28, from 8.45am to 3pm.

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
