Summary
While “success” can be defined differently depending on the organization and the context, this report defines a successful initiative as one that emerged bottom up, one that is scaling to more than one location, and one that is delivering impact. A successful innovative initiative seeks to transform the way a product, process, or policy affects beneficiaries or the organization itself. This comparison of initiatives and the factors that enable them to succeed provides a useful starting point for analyzing intrapreneur-driven innovation within IOs. The perspectives of over 40 individuals collected in detailed interviews and workshop discussions have enhanced these findings and provided a rich context for learning from shared experiences. With contributions from WFP Innovation Accelerator
