Why do organisations need the entrepreneurial mindset? In too many organisations, employees have become demotivated and disillusioned. As a result they hold back. They no longer give their best. The ambition of the entrepreneurial mindset is to release all this untapped human potential.

The mindset has the potential to be a powerful force for change in a wide range of organisations. The mindset offers a smart blend of bottom-up and top-down processes, whereby changes in the behavioural norms of individuals and teams, combine to transform the organisational culture.

Experience shows that it is easy to start up entrepreneurial projects in an organisation but it is much harder to scale up an entrepreneurial approach to the whole organisation. It is a sobering lesson that there is a limit to what can be achieved by 'lone champions' who are trying to influence their organisations to become more entrepreneurial.
