Chitra Anand is at the forefront of an important new movement in the workplace: intrapreneurship. Intrapreneurs are the people within your organization who possess an entrepreneurial spirit — driving innovation, creative thinking, and new ideas. The former head of PR for Microsoft Canada, Anand has been an intrapreneur for her entire career. Her engaging talks reveal how to foster that spirit, and how to stay on the cutting edge of market trends, technology, and consumer behaviour. Anand is an influence and social marketer who is currently completing a PhD focused on the study of intrapreneurship. Her research examines the traits of intrapreneurs, how they navigate organizations, and why they are the key drivers of innovation. She also studies shifts in technology, and how the way we communicate has created a massive change in consumer behaviour: the power has transferred from the business to the consumer, and marketers need a whole new perspective on content creation and storytelling. Anand was Head of Public Relations, Communications, and Corporate Reputation for Microsoft Canada, where she created stories and experiences by engaging with key influencers, media, and in the digital space. Projects she guided there have been awarded IABC Gold Quill Awards and Canadian Public Relations Society Awards of Excellence. https://www.chitraanand.com/services daily 0.75 2022-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621d957ac2f785250fe609e6/1646364813796-MCH8X4N8W42LZCNUQODS/ak3csrgrkimenrqbfsiw.jpeg SERVICES - Speaking I have keynoted, hosted, and moderated more than 200 events around the world, with audiences varying in size and industry.

I am an influence and social marketer and my work and research is focused on the shifts in technology; how it will and is impacting how we interact and communicate with one another. I believe that old school marketing of print advertising and general campaigns are no longer sustainable. The surge of information and the digital space has given rise to new mediums of communication. We are interacting differently; creating online communities, we are referral based buyers; we have greater access to information and influencers with a shift of power from businesses to consumers. What is the impact of this, how do we make sense of it in a meaningful way, what trends can we predict and how will this impact the role of marketers in the next 5 to 10 years?

The Talk. The Workshop. To succeed, modern businesses need to learn how to grow from within, without getting lost in the weeds. Creative thinking and innovation is the foundation of any organization. It is what drives new product development, creating brands, creating compelling story telling, creating new lines of business. While we know and understand that innovation is the currency to value creation, many organizations get stuck, they become complacent, and at times they become irrelevant. The Greenhouse Approach and thinking is a mindset shift; a shift to how we approach our thinking within environments challenging current structural norms. This book has been inspired by my time spent in corporations as an intrapreneur combined with my doctoral research. I have been in the fearless pursuit of re-imaging what corporations can and should be. This book examines the psychology of businesses and challenges current ways of thinking that inhibit us of truly being creative, fearless and innovative. My deepest gratitude to those who have contributed to this book through interviews: John Ruffolo, Michele Romanow, Raja Rajamannar, Nicholas Thompson, Steve Forbes.
