Entrepreneurship

Cripps Sears & Partners, together with academics at Kingston University's Entrepreneurship Centre, is currently engaged in a research project relating to entrepreneurs in the corporate workplace.

Entrepreneurial people are said to be the key to wealth creation in a modern economy, and many of our clients are apparently seeking "entrepreneurial” people. 
On the other hand, many of these people may find themselves stifled or frustrated in a corporate or professional practice working environment.

The second stage of our research is currently underway: a quantitative survey which has been supported by many of our current clients, contacts & candidates, whom we would like thank for their involvement. We aim to make the findings of this survey available in Octoiber as soon as possible.

Furthermore we are going to hold a number of focus groups towards the end of October to review the finding of our survey and to examine the issue of entreprenurship in corporate/partnership environments.
