The Intrapreneur Thing

As many of you already know, I recently joined Deloitte Consulting LLP, where I will be working with a group of people that are building out the firm’s capabilities in the digital/social/mobile arena. For me, this is not just a return to the consulting life — where I have spent most of my career — but a thrilling move in slightly different direction. Instead of doing the entrepreneur thing — helping to build out firms like The Conversation Group (TCG), Hubbub, and Eastwick Communications — I am now doing the intrapreneur thing, and in a more expansive inner landscape than I have ever enjoyed before. For this I have many people to thank, starting with my former TCG partner Chris Heuer, who joined Deloitte just a few months ago and brought me in to meet many great people who have been working with him. There’s a unique opportunity at Deloitte, and the timing and the team couldn’t be much better.

That’s about all I can say for now. There will be more to share soon, but in the meantime there’s the work. Will report back soon.

Sounds great, Giovanni. There’s a lot of leverage in that job, with Deloitte having so many practices and being so global…
