Inspirational Keynotes

In my keynotes


… I make innovation culture tangible and give inspiration for more innovative and
entrepreneurial behavior. A culture of innovation includes trust, personal responsibility and
the courage to try out new topics and lend wings to ideas. Innovative leadership, a
constructive failure culture and the use of appropriate innovation methods subsequently
allow the best ideas to soar.

 

… I vividly illustrate how to get to know your customers' fundamental needs and problems in
order to delight and impress them with products, services and experiences. The keynote

includes an entertaining “Best of” of approaches and concepts such as Design Thinking,
Experience Economy and optimizing customer journeys

 

… I highlight opportunities and challenges raised by megatrends and provide impulses for
systematic and forward-looking strategy development. In this way, I support managers in
preparing their teams and themselves for the future.

Result-oriented workshops

My workshops provide detailed deep-dives: Using a mix of proven and innovative methods such as
Business Model Canvas, Business Model Heatmaps, creativity methods and elements of Design
Thinking, the aim is to identify opportunities and risks for existing business models and derive
strategic options. Which areas are particularly at risk? Which new profit potentials arise? How should
you position yourself in the future? Who are potential new strategic partners? What will you do
differently from Monday morning onwards? And what do you want to achieve in the next six to
twelve months?

Especially for banks

For internal events as well as association and specialist conferences I offer special keynotes on bank-specific topics such as embedded finance, customer focus and the role of banks in ecosystems.

 

My keynotes are particularly suitable for events with your customers, especially in medium-sized companies around the future orientation of strategies and business models.

That's what my customers say...

We worked with Prof. Dr. Finken on the opportunities and challenges of new technologies and business models as part of a leadership workshop.

 

She used innovative methods such as wargaming or the business model canvas to clearly illustrate the importance of change and the further development of business models to us in a completely different way.

​

It was a very entertaining keynote and workshop and a good source of inspiration for our bank. Very practice-oriented - we can only recommend it!

– Albert Griebl, Head of the Board of VR-Bank Rottal-Inn eG
