My background: 

I am a digital native with over ten years of experience in the field of innovation. I support companies in implementing innovation strategies and new business models. I catalyze ideas from corporate leaders in the areas of strategy and innovation and provide advisory from the initial thought to market entry.

I have studied computer science and business administration with a focus on human-computer interaction and management accounting at RWTH Aachen University. I continued as a scientist at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FIT. I hold a Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) in computer science and founded a start-up for algorithmic sports performance analysis based on big data.

Furthermore, I hold several teaching positions at the TU Munich, TH Cologne, and TU Dortmund.

10 HBR articles

Some are 35 years old. All of them still hit.
Harvard Business Review has been a source of inspiration for decades. Not because they invented innovation. But because they gave language to what practitioners were struggling to articulate.

Classic doesn't mean outdated. It means the problems they describe keep recurring.

70-20-10 portfolio allocation. Explore vs exploit. Jobs to be done. Core competences. These concepts still show up in every strategy workshop I run.

Have a good read on a Sunday morning.

Everyone talks about "crossing the chasm" as an innovation problem.

Early adopters on one side. Mainstream on the other.

But most innovation projects never get there.

They die earlier.

Not because customers reject them.
Because someone internal does.

The real chasm is not adoption.
It is ownership.

Builders 
→ interested colleagues 
→ skeptical managers 
→ committed sponsors

That is the path. And most projects get stuck somewhere in the middle.

No sponsor, no scale.

Where did your last project lose momentum?
