I am writing because i recently met kate in New york and as well as being deming's favorite female consultant she is now devoted to bring intrapreneurship inside ed systems (at least I think thats the system challenge her form of experiential learning is on about). I expect you all recognise triple bottom line elkington, social entrepreneurs bill drayton, .many more and Gifford Pinchot who conceived intrapreneurship which dad norman at the economist helped market . Please see footnoted 1982 extract ... so i am wondering eg would gifford write a short cover paragraph so kate could approach indluenetial NY teachers like wendy kopp teach for all in 60 countries or indeed anyone else influential in NY. Because my father normanmacrae.net spent a year being trained by von neumann princeton & ny-courant in 1951 whose biographer dad became we are also concerned 1 with exponential risk- frank sees the law of that in usa more than anyone i'm aware of; peter, a fellow alumni of appropriately named Coopers & Lybrand, who I have known for 16 years wants to change chartered accounting to help transparency or risk ; also very interested in how fei-fei li - computers that vision -aka worlds i see new book with melinda gates -since 2003 she is the first person in 45 years to continue neumanns last request - neumann saw coding as chance to improve both computers and brains for all 8 bn beings- imo this is why AIgood will decide extinction or something better gamed at www.friends20.com ; i have long had a problem that bard llm has solved for me - dad wrote 2000 unsigned innovative leaders at the economist - if you ask bard for the most innovative thing it can find at the economist between 1948 and 1988 on any un sdg or anything it will either be my fathers or contributed by what was the journalism college of neumann einstein turing 6th engineering i. are there other ways we can help each other out of different towns or system failures millennials are facing? if anyone wants to zoom a topic they most want to transform please say footnote intrapeaneurial now Economist 1982 Of the perhaps 10,000 new patents a year round the world that are used, only about 10-20 a year are for what the co-inventor of the ubiquitous integrated circuit, Mr. Jack Kilby, calls 'major' inventions things that change our lives. A list of the world's major inventions over the past 50 years shows that big organisations claim to have discovered only around a third of them, and some of their claims are fibs. More than two thirds have been discovered by individuals or small businesses. The individual inventors' list of the past 50 years turns alphabetically from air conditioning, automatic transmissions and ballpoint pens, through jet engines and penicillin, to xerography and the zipper. The big companies' list runs more predictably through crease-resistant fabrics, float glass, synthetic detergents. Note how these fit with corporate objectives; 'We are a big textile or soap company, so go for something capital-intensive'. '...l. But, to quote Jack Kilby again, each invention presents a profile of opportunities and requirements, while each company has its own profile of what constitutes to it an acceptable product. The probability that these two profile, will coincide in any given case is not very high. The result is that many big companies' brilliant researchers are, in conditions of great secrecy, in their seventh consecutive year of smashing unusable float glass. The Pinchot proposals The most promising set of incentives for R and D departments to stray down interesting byways has been suggested by Mr. Gifford Pinchot III of Mr. Bob Schwartz's Tarrytown School for Entrepreneurs near New York, and they are being tried out by some clients of the new School for Intrapreneurs run by the Foresight Group management consultancy in Sweden. I should have introduced Mr. Pinchot before, because he is the inventor of the word 'intrapreneurs', in a paper which paid kindly tribute to my 1976 survey. His description of what is happening in semi-reforming big corporations: Decentralisation alone is not enough. In a hierarchical organisation, promotions can be won by special graces, loyalty to one's boss and general political skills. Courage, original thought, and ability to observe the obvious do not necessarily lead to success. If we are to get really good problem-solving in our decentralised corporations, we must introduce a system that gives the decision to those who get successful results, not to the inoffensive. Such people will be willing to take moderate risks and will be more concerned with achieving results than gaining influence. These are among the characteristics of the successful entrepreneur. What is needed in the large corporation is not more semi-independent departments run by hard-driving yes men, but something akin to free-market entrepreneurship within the corporate organisation. Pinchots recommendations about intra-capital, see the next two paragraphs, could prove one of the great social inventions. Under Mr. Pinchot's proposals for R and D departments a researcher wishing to plunge intrapreneurially into some project would initially have to risk something of value to himself; such as 10% of the costs of a project, up to 20% of his salary for the duration of a project and two years thereafter. A committee within the company would then contract to 'buy' completed research in an intrapreneurial scheme for both cash bonuses and intra-capital. If a company makes $1m on a project, the intrapreneur's share might be $100,000, of which only $10,000 might come in cash and $90,000 might come in intra-capital which the intrapreneur can invest on the corporation's behalf in future R and D projects of his own choice. If he is successful again, his reward will be another cash bonus (probably larger the second time) plus more intra-capital. This system, says Mr. Pinchot, motivates creative staff to think practically and frees their individual initiative. It minimises politics and maximises performance as a criterion for advancement. It rapidly puts a portion of the company's R&D budget in the hands of proven winners. It gives any good research staffer a strong reason to stay with the company, since leaving would mean giving up control of his accumulated intra-capital...
