Intrapreneurship is

    Jean Vercruysse
    Operational Excellence Expert

    A company that pushes process optimisation, can also be very innovative and agile. It does not need to be a choice between business efficiency and agility. Successful companies aim for both. Jean understands the complementarity of both perfectly and realises synergies between the ‘chaotic’ Startup and the ‘rigid’ multinational.
