Intrapreneur’s Book Club
This is a free club for people passionate about upskilling in innovation and willing to put the effort in to read ONE book each quarter. We then meet and discuss each quarter’s book at a virtual event (Zoom).
From being in the club, you’ll learn from the books, consider how to put your learnings into practice, and meet people just like you. This club aims to create a community of like-minded, growth-minded people who want to become better innovators and leaders.
This quarter’s book
Our first book for this year is the legendary Playing to Win by A.G. Laffley and Roger L. Martin. This year is the 10th anniversary of its publication. The full back story about the book is here. This is one of the most famous books on strategy and there are a bunch of resources available online to support it, including a Playing to Win Canvas.
We’ll be meeting to discuss this book on:
Monday, 6th March, 11 am – 12:30 pm (AEST).
