Brilliant Moves: Coffee with The Coca-Cola Company CEO Henrique Braun
McKinsey talked to Henrique Braun, the CEO of Coca-Cola. He wants people to stay "constructively discontented". You celebrate a win and already think about what comes next. One example is Sprite + Tea, which launched in the US and was then tested and launched in China.
Intrapreneurship angle: New ideas start when you are a little unhappy with how things are. Braun gives people permission to try new things and expects them to own the result. Look at what works elsewhere in your company and test it locally.

AI has entered the boardroom. Who's overseeing it?
A Stanford-led team interviewed 20 company directors about how their boards watch over AI. 80% had no formal AI ethics policy or scorecard. 70% said nobody on the board clearly owns AI. Directors rated their boards' readiness at 4.7 out of 10.
Intrapreneurship angle: Most boards do not have a clear picture of the AI projects running in their own company. Make yours easy to see. Write down what it does, who owns it and what it returns, before anyone asks.

MIT researchers create roadmap to help organizations mitigate AI risks
MIT researchers and more than 40 partners put 2,206 proposed AI safeguards from 47 frameworks into one free public database. 55% deal with the AI system itself. Human oversight of AI agents gets less than 2% of the attention.
Intrapreneurship angle: If your project uses AI, someone will ask how you keep it safe. Use this free list to pick the safeguards that fit and show them early. It is easier than arguing about risk later.
