From the Frontlines of Innovation to your LinkedIn feedโฆAnne Decker. ย This post has been co-created by Shashi Matta and Maximilian Bauer ย Anne Decker is at once impressive and disarming. A superstar alumna of the WFI - Ingolstadt School of Management at Catholic University of Eichstรคtt-Ingolstadt who effortlessly connects with her audience while inspiring them to dream big.ย We had the pleasure of hosting Anne at an exclusive Leadership Talk event as part of our Hybrid, Part-Time MBA Program for Working Professionals, on campus. ย What strikes you immediately about Anne is that hereโs someone who masterfully balances her remarkable achievements with a genuine warmth and approachability. Behind her unassuming and friendly exterior lies a keen intellect, a strong command of #leadership, and a relentless drive for #innovation. ย Anne exemplifies the face of Innovation on the frontlines. In this case, at the forefront of Innovation & Transformation Strategy for Mittelstand (Small and Medium-Sized) Companies. With her rich international experience in scaling startups, in venture capital and impact investing, and in innovation & incubation consulting, Anne is the Managing Director at wattx in Berlin, collaborating with the #mittelstand to create new digital and sustainable products and businesses. Anne also serves as a Director at Maschinenraum in Berlin, an innovation ecosystem for Mittelstand and Family-Owned Businesses. ย Here's what we learned from Anne during the Leadership Talk - ย โ Thereโs immense #potential for innovation in Mittelstand and Family-Owned companies in Germany, along with crucial external and internal challenges including geo-political #instability and the #leadership #mindset within these organizations. โ Knowledge Monopolies in Mittelstand and Family-Owned companies can act as a barrier for continued growth and maintaining a #competitiveadvantage. โ Embracing a faster pace and participating in #Open #Innovation #ecosystems can provide a definite edge for Mittelstand companies. Thank you, Anne, for being an incredible #rolemodel for our students, and for your superb advice to our budding business leaders of our Hybrid, Part-Time MBA program, www.ku.de/mba ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐ก๐๐ซ๐โ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐: โชย https://lnkd.in/eWBUP-dz Share your thoughts on BOLD innovators that you know or work with, in the Comments!
