PROF. DR. SILKE N. FINKEN
Inspirational keynotes for companies
on the topics of innovation & strategy
You want enthusiastic customers & motivated and entrepreneurial teams?
My keynote speeches aim to provide valuable insights and outlooks in a vivid and entertaining way and cover topics ranging
from innovative corporate culture, innovation management and innovative methods to megatrends and disruptions as well as the future-proofing of business models.
I inspire people to look beyond their current horizons and step out of their comfort zone. For a strong and future-oriented
society, we need innovative companies and courageous and entrepreneurial individuals. This means being open to new trends and developments, seizing resulting opportunities, thinking and acting innovatively and entrepreneurially and also daring to voice unconventional and disruptive ideas and drive innovative projects forward.
With my speeches and keynotes, I would like to support you in fostering internal change to become more innovative, open up new perspectives and also emphasize this dynamic development and mindset at external events with customers and partners.
For your internal and external events, I offer a focused range of topics that can be adapted to suit your needs. The length of a keynote speech usually goes up to 60 minutes, and any keynote can be held in German or English.
