Winning buy-in from senior and middle management for corporate innovation initiatives is one of the biggest challenges intrapreneurs face. Oftentimes, intrapreneurs resort to presentations and meetings with executives in an effort to convince them why they should explore new initiatives. Sometimes this works. Most times it doesn’t.
