Overview
Today, over half of the largest economies in the world are global businesses - controlled by the few, and impacting the many. Business clearly has the power to change the world – but what if we, as individuals, had the power to change the world of business? For over a decade, Gib Bulloch led a corporate “guerrilla movement” within one of the world’s largest global consulting organisations. Against the odds, he created a not-for-profit inside one of the most profit driven corporations in the world. Plaudits, prizes and promotions followed. But success came at a price: It ultimately cost him his job, his health and perhaps even his sanity as he found himself the unlikely resident of a psychiatric hospital in Glasgow. The Intrapreneur is an honest and insightful critique of the “craziness” of today’s business environment – and a call to action for a new breed of social activist working within, about to join or completely disillusioned by today’s business world. Finding your purpose… can feel like losing your mind

Author Information
Gib Bulloch is an award winning social intrapreneur who consults, writes and speaks on topics relating to the role of business in society. Gib believes passionately in the power of business to change the world and in the power of the individual to change the world of business. After an early career spent at BP and Mars, Bulloch's epiphany came from a year as a business volunteer with VSO in the Balkans in 2000. Over the next 15 years, Gib founded and scaled Accenture’s global ""not-for-loss"" consulting business, ADP. He left Accenture in 2016 to explore new ways of supporting purpose-driven insurgencies within the corporate world. www.gibbulloch.com @gibbulloch
