The CREO Corporate Entrepreneurship course introduces corporate entrepreneurship as a way for organisations to generate innovation, renew internal capabilities, and respond to change from within. Learners will explore the intrapreneurial mindset, strategic behaviour, organisational tensions, innovation ecosystems, corporate venturing, team formation, and sustainable organisational renewal.

This course is designed for employees, team leaders, managers, innovation teams, and internal venture champions working inside organisations who want to lead new products, services, or improvements from within. It is especially relevant for those navigating internal politics, resource constraints, stakeholder alignment, and corporate innovation systems. By the end of the course, learners will gain a clear understanding of how intrapreneurial individuals, teams, and companies can turn internal ideas into structured innovation, manage organisational complexity, and support long-term growth and transformation.

This module introduces the intrapreneurial mindset and how individuals create strategic value from within organisations. Learners will explore intrapreneurial capability, engagement, execution, resource mobilisation, value creation, and the organisational tensions that shape internal innovation. The module also examines how intrapreneurs navigate politics, culture, conflict, and strategic constraints while contributing to organisational renewal.
