Abstract
A discussion on the importance of having the courage to be consciously focused on change and the ways in which bankers themselves can affect it from the inside. The path of intrapreneurs everywhere is treacherous and difficult; in banking, this is even more the case but there are examples of those that have created new propositions—Experience Heroes with brains, courage, and passion, and they have had to fight the cultural inertia from the inside out. The chapter contains the definition of Intrapreneurship as seen by JP Nicols—the first one to use the concept in FinTech—and a clear Dos and Don’ts’ for intrapreneurs section offering practical advice for those willing to undertake the challenge.
