Building the future

innovation
management.
Companies’ ability to continuously develop new value for customers is crucial to securing jobs and social prosperity of our society.

My approach is to help companies identify their own strengths and challenges when it comes to innovating new solutions, services or business models. In order to then be enable to develop a consequent and effective approach to innovation.
With this website, I want to inspire people who are responsible for innovation to reflect on their approach and refine it further. By understanding possibly underlying root causes of challenges and by developing a new, much more comprehensive understanding of innovation management.
PURPOSE DRIVEN
I empower people to excel in their roles in corporate innovation. Many jobs depend on this ability.
PEOPLE CENTERED
I work with individuals and teams to fulfill their specific role in corporate innovation.
FUTURE FOCUSED
I enable companies to act ahead of change and shape desirable futures for their customers.
MY BACKGROUND
10 yrs practical experience in corporate innovation work
Over the past 10 years I coached >30 corporate teams in customer understanding projects and in agile business design sprints. This brought better and much quicker results in early innovation projects. However, these projects were rather a one-time success.
In order to get this kind of working style sustainably anchored in companies I then focused more on developing innovation management systems. This helped the companies to repeat this kind of working style.
However, despite innovation processes and tools were in place, roles were defined and projects were conducted, it still was not as effective as I wanted it to be. I found out that people were not able to sufficiently embody their roles in innovation work, for several reasons.
Since then I enable people to embody their innovation-specific roles in their companies. Processes, methods and tools are still part of it. However, 90% of it is about empowering people to assess situations, make bold but consequent decisions and establish effective innovation management.
MY PLAYGROUND
The root causes for challenges in innovating new added values
Exploring new kinds of added values for customers usually is a significant challenge for established companies. Often, a wide range of interdependencies and obstacles complicate the process or even prevent it altogether. Without a clear understanding of these challenges and how to master them, one easily causes more long-term harm than good for an organisation.
LEARN MORE ABOUT MY APPROACH
I work with innovation managers, top management and division or department leaders to develop their individual roles in innovation.
I guide top management and innovation management to methodically focus innovation initiatives.
I provide methods, tools and support to anchor a proven systematic approach to developing new added values in the company.
I get people into the driver`s seat in creating desirable futures for customers. Long before customers ask for it.
MY VISION
Responsible and decisive individuals who, through their roles, shape the future of organisations
My vision is that the repetitive creation of new kinds of added values is part of a company`s DNA. This is achieved by specifically skilled and empowered people who do not only understand but embody their specific roles in this explorative approach.
