In time of crises, uncertainty, and disorder, how can your organization and your team develop the courage to explore new paths?
They can do so by actively engaging with the future, by facing the disorder around us, by getting a realistic image of innovation, by nurturing a failure culture within the organization, and by experiencing innovation in a risk-free environment.
In my keynotes, workshops, and trainings, I share insights that inspire new perspectives, and I provide impulses for rethinking. Although addressing the future is a serious endeavor, I approach this with a certain lightheartedness that softens anxiety and supports action.
Speaking Topics
Innovation & Future
How can organizations remain innovative in a future shaped by digitalization and sustainability, and burdened by uncertainty? I demonstrate the role of future images and how they shape technological, ecological, and societal change. I do so with a practical, inspiring, and clear focus on the future. You will leave with a different view on the future!
Ideas & Serendipity
Innovation often occurs where chance meets attentiveness. Here, I explore the role of serendipity (making of fortunate discoveries by accident) in the innovation process. I look at the art of creating ideas and seizing accidental opportunities.
Innovation in the Age of Disorder
Uncertainty is no longer an exceptional state but the new normal. In this talk, I explore how companies and leaders can remain innovative in times of crisis, disruption, and contradiction – and why chaos, ambiguity, and unpredictability are often a fertile ground for genuine innovation.
Myths About Innovation
Innovation often fails not due to a lack of ideas, but because of false assumptions. In this presentation, I debunk persistent innovation myths – concise, accessible, and full of inspiring thoughts. A perspective shift for everyone who wants to make innovation truly effective.
Failure: The Secret Sauce of Innovation
Success stories dominate the innovation narrative, but it’s failure that drives real learning and breakthrough innovations. I explore why organizations that embrace failure as a learning opportunity outperform those that don’t. Discover how to create a culture where experimentation is encouraged, failures are analyzed constructively, and setbacks become ingredients of innovation success.
Art of Being an Innovator – Making Innovation Tangible Through Artistic Interventions
Innovation is a mindset. In these exceptional workshops, I combine innovation-thinking with art and artistic interventions. Participants experience innovation emotionally, physically, and intellectually. They discover new pathways to creativity, courage, and change. No artistic talent or experience required!
