Speakers

Dr Bettina von Stamm, founder and director of Innovation Leadership Forum, has been a visionary and leading thinker in the field of innovation for almost 30 years. After spending several decades living and working in the UK, she is now based in Munich, where she joined BEFIVE by UnternehmerTUM in November 2022 to support their drive to accelerate innovation, sustainability and digitalisation in the built environment. For well over a decade she has been arguing that any innovation that does not have sustainability considerations at its core is irresponsible. It is therefore entirely fitting that she should have been invited to serve as Member of Advisory Board for Innovation and Sustainability at AxonJay. She is also passionate about … • … leadership - which is why she is involved in SLI (Shared Learning International) which supports individuals, teams and organisations to create the kind of leadership that fosters resiliency, necessary transformation and sustainable outcomes in disrupted and uncertain times. • … education - which she is delighted to be one of the ‘leaders by example’ at the shiftschool which sets out to fundamentally change executive education - educating by leading by example rather than lecturing. She is also Visiting Professor at Middlesex University, UK, Deusto Busienss School, Spain, and Karnavati University, India. • … shaping a better, fairer and regenerative future for all - which is why she gets involved in initiatives dedicated to making this happen such as White Mirror, Accidental Gods and Thrutopia. … and of course she is passionate about innovation. Keeping abreast of developments in her chosen field, she is also member of the advisory board of GInI, the Global Institute of Innovation, a member of ISPIM, the International Society for Professional Innovation Management, and Academic Advisor and Practitioner for the 6Is® of Innovation. Her thoughts can be found in her books, articles and ‘regular irregular’ blog posts.
