Can you innovate within large organizations? | Joshua Mitro Lavra | TEDxPSU

Joshua talks about entrepreneurship within existing companies. Josh Lavra works in San Francisco as a product manager, design thinker, and maker. Since graduating from the Penn State College of Engineering in 2011, Josh has explored a number or roles and challenges across the US. Most recently, he developed and launched a self-service vending machine for industrial products in partnership with the world’s largest home improvement retailer. This experiment in intrapreneurship has led him to explore the question: is it possible to innovate within a large organization? (short answer: it depends.) This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
