Exciting Development Opportunity – FCS sponsors Intrapreneurship Academy places

The FCS is always looking at ways to improve member benefits, and we are delighted to tell you about our latest exciting initiative. The FCS has partnered with the Syndeo Institute, a leading provider of innovative management training, and is sponsoring 2 places on its ground-breaking Intrapreneurship Academy.

Normally, the cost of the programme is $5000 per participant, but the FCS will be providing 2 scholarships places, with the successful member paying just £200 per participant. In return we ask that attendees feedback on their experience and help to develop a case study which will be available on the FCS website.

There are three separate ‘journeys’ available for members to choose from, and we would expect the Leadership Journey to be the one with most universal appeal. The course comprises nine tutored class sessions, each of 1hour 45 minutes, dates and timings are shown below, with sessions starting on 6 April 2026.

If you believe your organisation would benefit from this sponsorship, please email fcs@fcs.co.uk with details of who you would like to nominate for an FCS scholarship space, which learning journey you are interested in and what you think they will gain by cop 10 March 2026. We expect there will be a lot of interest, and if there are more applicants than places, we will draw lots to see who has been successful.

We are also pleased to announce that Syndeo is offering members a 10% discount on all traditional courses and custom discount structures for tailored learning plans built for your organisation. If you want to take advantage of this, let us know and we will confirm to Syndeo that you are a member.

It is worth noting that the Syndeo Institute is a not-for-profit, and is firmly rooted in the telecoms industry, making it quite a unique provider and an ideal partner for FCS. Further details of Syndeo can be found on their website: Lead & Innovate with Syndeo Institute at The Cable Center and there is more detail about the course here, Intrapreneurship Academy: Cultivating Internal Leadership. The academy is designed to activate leaders to accelerate growth. It empowers employees to think and act like entrepreneurs within their organizations—taking risks, adapting to change, creating value, and driving innovation. We believe that these skills could be invaluable to FCS members.
