Promoting innovation

Intrapreneurship Programme

How can one bold problem solver drive meaningful change and innovation across the business? By sharing an idea.

Our Intrapreneurship Programme empowers employees to tackle real business problems and turn ideas into impactful solutions.

Through our Spark Innovation Platform and a team of specialized Innovation Coaches, we provide intrapreneurs with essential resources to bring their ideas to life.

People (Access to a diverse network of subject matter experts, SC Ventures members, venture founders, and the broader ecosystem of banking professionals)
Tools (A suite of innovation resources, including hands-on Bootcamps focused on problem validation, Human-Centered Design and Agile methods, as well as our own proprietary tools for ideation)
Culture (Fostering innovation skills development, senior management engagement and support, reward, and recognition programmes)

We recognise that the intrapreneurs will invest significant effort to evolve their ideas alongside the workload of their respective day jobs, which is why we will provide them with dedicated support to manage their idea development and any challenges they may face in the process.

By combining structured innovation challenges, a culture of continuous idea submission, and significant support for intrapreneurs, our intrapreneurship Programme has successfully transformed countless ideas into measurable outcomes.

We certainly look forward to what lies ahead, so reach out to us so we can help drive innovation and optimize your technologies, processes, and culture.

The Intrapreneur Process

We are a platform that uses company crowdsourcing to develop innovative ideas which solve complex and/or difficult problems.

We do this by partnering with companies to create a problem statement and sharing it via SC Ventures White Labelled solution (the FinTech Bridge) to the employees of the firm. Those employees posit ideas, form teams, and experiment – which ends with a number of solutions provided to us. We share these ideas with our client firm, and work to refine those ideas with combined expertise from SC Ventures and our client.

In brief, we solve complex problems for clients using a mix of Human Centered Design, Lean Startup, and our own proprietary tools, and our clients partner with us in such a way as to drive an innovation culture within their employee population. Everyone wins.
