Biography

For the past 20 years Bettina has been a visionary and original thinker at the boundary between business and academia, working in the field of her passion: innovation. During her independent career she has always taken great pleasure and pride in combining and balancing a number of different activities such as research, teaching, writing, running networking initiatives and engaging in public speaking. Having worked independently in the field of innovation since 1992, she set up the Innovation Leadership Forum (ILF) in 2004. Through the ILF she offers a Networking Group (ILF NG), a series of 6 Innovation MasterClasses, a facilitated tool for the assessment of conditions for innovation, Innovation Wave®, as well as bespoke workshops, seminars, and innovation interventions. Her teaching and work with (primarily large) companies takes her around the world. She has also written 3 books on innovation (The Innovation Wave, Managing Innovation Design & Creativity, The Future of Innovation).

Sample Talks

Collaboration across boundaries – Mission Impossible?

Collaboration and knowledge sharing across boundaries is very important, today more so than ever before - many of today's challenges are such that they cannot be solved by any one individual, company or even country alone. Collaboration across boundaries means working across mindsets as well as departments and nations. Will essential and potentially hugely beneficial, such collaboration is often fraud with conflict and suboptimal results. What are the causes, and what can be done about them?

Innovation's Glass Ceiling

Over the past decade or two the call for innovation, for radical and breakthrough innovation in particular, has grown louder and louder, in private and public sectors alike. Yet surveys continue to indicate disappointment with the results. While much blame is being laid at the door of short-term driving stock markets, I believe that there are more fundamental obstacles to radical innovation than that: a lack of systems thinking, and and a lack of understanding the implications of human nature.

Simplicity without complexity?

In increasing complex times the call for simplicity resonates deeply with most. Are things becoming more complex, or more complicated? What if simplicity isn't quite that simple? And how to achieve simplicity after all.
