Who We Can Help
It doesn’t matter how big or small your organization might be, at iMission we’re interested in your mindset and attitude. If your organization has an entrepreneurial mindset then we’re excited to help you reach your goals and advance your mission.
What’s an Entrepreneurial Mindset?
It means being drawn to opportunities, innovation and creating value for stakeholders. It can start with a big idea or a smaller initiative. The entrepreneurial mindset is about believing that change can happen. It’s about saying “yes, we can.” And it’s about knowing that the strategic – even transformative – resources can be found and secured.
