They need to incubate new ideas, and advance a new model of education that moves beyond traditional boundaries. They should act as "internal change agents, who embrace the characteristics of entrepreneurs like thinking out of the box. This enhances the value of education benefitting all the stakeholders. In this intrapreneurship will be greatly beneficial. This paper aims to examine the effects of individual competencies and characteristics linked to educational programmes that contribute to the development of competencies conducive to innovation which ensures ultimate sustainability.
