Global Fellowship
The League Global Fellows are experienced intrapreneurs recognized for the work they have accomplished in generating change from within influential organizations. They are working on a range of issues from creating more inclusive political systems, to fostering access to healthcare, to prototyping circular economy business models and much, much more.
At the heart of the Fellowship is the opportunity to connect and learn with a group of like-minded disruptors from across the world, to share challenges and opportunities, to re-fuel and explore potential collaborations.
League Fellows are encouraged to use their talent and experience to unlock the intrapreneurial capacity of others inside their institutions and be ambassadors of a global movement supporting systemic change from the inside out.
The League selects a new cohort of Fellows every year based on nominations from the community and strategic partners around the world.
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer.
Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience,
and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

What our Fellows value being part of the Global Fellowship?
“This is a remarkable gathering. We have some of the most influential organizations on the planet and we are looking at how we can support each other to save the planet and create social harmony.”
“It makes so much sense for us to come together to share each other’s success stories, embolden each other, uplift each other and shape each other’s thinking.”
“Most of us as Intrapreneurs are a typical leaders. We have been pioneering for a long time and for that we need a certain type of shelter and the league gives us exactly the shelter we need.”Â
HIGHLIGHTS OF BECOMING AÂ LEAGUE FELLOW
A selective global group of peers
The League Global Fellowship is a select invitation for 30 high-impact intrapreneurs, annually. Each Fellow brings a wealth of experience leading systems change from within an influential institution.
Deepening their Leadership Capacity
Our Global Fellows deepen their leadership capacity by honing skills around systems thinking, innovation, creativity, collaboration, problem solving and leadership.
Trusted Relationships with innovators inside influential organizations
League Fellows cultivate trusted relationships with people from organizations around the world who share similar goals. Including intrapreneurs from Unilever, Accenture, BMW Group, Oxfam, WWF and many more.
Collective Creative Capacity
League Fellows are exposed to a diversity of projects and ways of working, pushed to think outside of the box, opening up new ideas and opportunities for their work.
Opportunity to leverage impact
This is an opportunity for Fellows to bring a systems perspective to their work and bring their impact to the next level.
Invitation to represent the intrapreneurship movement globally
At the heart of the League is our commitment to inspire and grow the intrapreneurship movement. Throughout the Fellowship we will help Fellows craft their story so they can inspire others worldwide.
How can you become a League Fellow?
League Fellowship is a nomination-only program for experienced intrapreneurs. Upon receiving a nomination, the League of Intrapreneurs team, together with the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt team, carefully selects 20 -25 intrapreneurs per year to apply to become a League Fellow. Applicants will then be invited to an interview in which they will have the opportunity to raise any questions about their nomination.
The Fellowship Experience
The Fellowship is designed to hold space for sharing openly in a vulnerable way, for deep conversations, and to have fun while changing the world from within.
The Global Fellowship is the perfect amalgamation of change-makers, a magical setting, a spirit of co-creation and mindful facilitation. In previous years this has been a mix between physical gathering and virtual experiences. For 2020, we are adapting the format to keep everyone’s safety at the forefront of our minds, and so a Virtual Fellowship Journey is coming to life instead.
