The Intrapreneur's Playbook: 13 Proven Ways to Navigate Corporate Resistance and Drive Innovation from Within (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798291168219)

Are you an innovator stuck inside a bureaucracy? A team leader expected to "think outside the box" while following rules that keep the lid on change? You're not alone, and this book is for you.

The Intrapreneur's Playbook is a practical guide for professionals tasked with driving change from within the walls of complex, often risk-averse organizations. Drawing on 20+ years of global experience in Continuous Improvement and Operational Excellence, Andrew Lenti offers a candid, field-tested roadmap for building a work culture that embraces innovation, accountability, and experimentation-without chaos.

In this empowering book, you'll learn how to:

• Build transparency and break down silos across teams

• Teach your entire workforce to spot and eliminate process waste

• Capture, evaluate, and prioritize business ideas at scale

• Build trust and reduce resistance from middle management

• Align strategy, people, and process with measurable KPIs

• Use software to reduce meetings, increase collaboration, and accelerate results

Each of the 14 chapters presents a core principle of a "fail fast, fail forward" innovation culture-along with clear takeaways, action steps, and leadership insights. Whether you're a Continuous Improvement lead, a department head, or a future CEO in the making, this book will help you master the art of organizational change from the inside out.

Also included is a bonus chapter introducing Presto PDCA, the innovation and CI software platform trusted by global organizations to embed structure, feedback loops, and digital discipline into their continuous improvement programs.

If you've ever felt like the only one pushing for progress in a sea of complacency, The Intrapreneur's Playbook will give you the language, confidence, and tools to lead with clarity-and leave a lasting impact.
