enterprisal:
... having and displaying the attributes of a business
or entrepreneurial venture; displaying characteristics
and functionality such that an activity or operation may be deemed
to be
an enterprise. The word may be used
in academia to create expressions, such as enterprisal culture (enterprise
culture). It is not a substitute for enterprising. It
seems redundant to refer to a business as a enterprisal venture when
making the point that it involves risk in expectation of gain. The
word venture is sufficient in that regard. On the other hand, the use
of enterprisal may be applicable and easily understood when
describing
changes
from institutionalized
control of enterprises, such a government
run businesses, to private ownership whereby inventive people, not
afraid to take risks,
in a free
market economy make decisions. For example: ... an
enterprisal system of adjusting industrial development for a global
economy in former communist-run nations trapped by failed political
institutions and a need for subsidization ... (source of quote

hands on approach:
... actively dealing with an enterprise or
working at an endeavor; the method used in dealing with or accomplishing

for example in education, deals with the practical rather than
the theoretical and is often associated with training and gaining

a method for controlling the operations of an enterprise. A

in a location,

raise the bar:

as it is raised higher and higher between two uprights.
Consultants, coaches, trainers and development leaders
use the expression for all types of efforts to change individuals
and team attitudes and inhibitions that restrain performance
and discourage self-motivation. Long-time supporters of The
Network, Pinnacle
Partners (PPI),
is mentioned under two of the definitions that you link to in
the first sentence because of their expertise

systems.
