Bettina is hugely passionate about understanding and enabling innovation, particularly in large organisations. For this purpose she has set up her own company, the Innovation Leadership Forum (ILF).

Part of the ILF is a Networking Group to exchange and further knowledge around innovation; the currently 20 members include BOC Linde, Cancer Research UK, Danone, GSK, Marks & Spencer, Ordnance Survey, Smith & Nephew and Unilever. She also enjoys the role of a ‘catalyst’ in large organisations to speed-up the creation of innovative organisations (e.g. DSM, Hibernian, Mars & the Financial Ombudsman Services), and keeping a hand in academic research on her favourite topic. In addition she teaches innovation and design management at a number of leading universities in the UK, Germany and France, and shares her passion for innovation at conferences, workshops and other events.

She has also developed the Innovation Wave®, a tool for the facilitated assessment and development of innovation capability in organisations.

Bettina holds a first degree in architecture and town planning and an MBA as well as a PhD from London Business School. Her work has resulted in the writing of numerous article, book chapters and two books (The Innovation Wave, 2002; Managing Innovation Design & Creativity, 2008, 2nd ed, also available in Chinese and soon Arabic).
