Entrepreneurship isn’t just for new businesses – it is essential to help established companies stay ahead of the competition, local employers were told this week at Queen’s University.
They were attending the InterTradeIreland Innovation Lecture at Queen’s University, delivered by Hanadi Jabado, Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Cambridge.
She said: “Established businesses can fall in to a pattern of running ‘business as usual’, or even worse, focusing on fire fighting problems, but continuing to innovate is key to ensuring a company grows.”
At the lecture, entitled Rejuvenate Your Business Through Entrepreneurship, Ms Jabado addressed the benefits of nurturing entrepreneurial behaviour and the associated challenges of managing entrepreneurial employees.
The lecture was part of the InterTradeIreland All-Island Innovation Programme, which is delivered in partnership with Queen’s University, University College Dublin, NUI Galway and University College Cork.
