Early Praise

  • "In his book Alex DeNoble combines his teaching and storytelling abilities with some inspiration and direction for those who want to make a difference in their workplace life. This book is timely in an environment when people are unimpressed & uninspired with their work environment and contemplate what they want to do when they grow up."

    Joseph Keip
    Sales Manager, Consumer Brands at InnovAsian Cuisine

  • “If you're working in a corporation and think that you *can't* be entrepreneurial, you *can't* be innovative, you *can't* move faster, you *can't work through the bureaucracy and processes, think again. Read Alex DeNoble's book which challenges our views on what it means to be an entrepreneur, and celebrates the successes of the dozens of intrapreneurs he's worked with over his 40 year career."

    Linda Holroyd
    CEO, FountainBlue

  • "An insightful read. I love the tie into organizational resistors and the importance of gaining support from a non- advocates to make advances in a big company culture."

    Claude Jones
    VP of Engineering at Strava and CEO of San Diego Tech Hub

  • Alex has taken a fresh look at an established area of entrepreneurship... corporate entrepreneurship. This book is accessible and engaging. The cases provide clear, relatable illustrations of the concepts and transition well from theory to practice.New List Item
