On April 21st, the Chair of Industrial Management had the pleasure to continue its “Innovation Insights Series 2021” together with Dr. Andreas Volek, Head of Strategic Innovation Management at Diehl.

In a digital lecture with more than 500 bachelor and master students, Dr. Volek explained a systematic approach to translate megatrends and various industry trends into concrete innovation projects by using forward-looking innovation tools such as the so called “Diehl Trend Radar”. Furthermore, Dr. Volek elaborated on the implications of disruptive developments for a B2B company. After an inspiring presentation, our students seized the opportunity to discuss their questions with Dr. Volek.

Prof. Voigt and his entire team thank Dr. Volek for providing the students valuable insights into strategic innovation management. We are already looking forward to welcoming him in person again.
