Intrapreneurship, Employees using Entrepreneurial skills

Steven Burda suggested this video about Intrapreneurship :
I have to say, Intrapreneurship is a new term for me, but now that I have had it explained, it makes perfect sense.
Entrepreneurial skills are too valuable to be exclusive to business owners and it is great to see so many companies now recognizing that.
According to Wikipedia:
Intrapreneurship is the practice of entrepreneurial skills and approaches by or within a company or at home. Employees, perhaps engaged in a special project within a larger firm are supposed to behave as entrepreneurs, even though they have the resources and capabilities of the larger firm to draw upon. Capturing a little of the dynamic nature of entrepreneurial management (trying things until successful, learning from failures, attempting to conserve resources, etc.) is claimed to be quite valuable in otherwise static organizations.
