Franziska Maisack’s Post

🎓 The exciting time of my studies has come to an end! Looking back over my 2.5 years in the master’s program, I am grateful for all that I have learned and experienced, especially for the inspiring people I've met!   As part of the international IMES Double Degree Program at Technische Universität Berlin, pursuing a Master's in Innovation Management, Sustainability & Entrepreneurship, I've learned what it takes to drive sustainable innovation forward; with valuable international adventures at Ain Shams University in Cairo or Université d'Abomey-Calavi in Benin.   🚀 A highlight of this journey was spending an intense year at the NTNU School of Entrepreneurship in Trondheim: The unofficial slogan "Ikke fordi det er enkelt" - "Not because it's easy" perfectly captures this inspiring, hands-on start-up culture designed to push beyond comfort zones. Living and studying within this Norwegian master's program has been challenging, but incredibly positive experience - thanks to the unique student community and the amazing friends I made along the way. 🔜 And now? Throughout, KSB's innovation team - Simone Renz, Maximilian Panthen, Franz Bosbach - supported my growth as a student employee for 5 years. Their trust allowed me to balance studies and work. That's why I'm happy to continue my journey with full energy and passion now as an Innovation Manager at KSB Company, committed to empower employees on their intrapreneurial journeys!

🌱 Desert algae production or 🌌 renewable energy in space—these were just a few of the innovations which amazed me at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL in Berlin last week! Over two packed days, researchers, industry giants, and start-ups showcased the potential of green technologies.   However, as Sandrine Dixson-Declève noted, technology alone won't drive the systemic change needed for planetary and societal well-being. We still face challenges in reducing inequality and empowering communities.   ✨ How to stay optimistic? Acknowledge reality, believe in the future, and take control! These principles, advocated by polar explorer Sebastian Copeland, align perfectly with our mission at Corporate Foresight for KSB Company – anticipating future trends, identifying opportunities, and shaping strategies for a sustainable tomorrow!   #GreenTech #Innovation #Sustainability #CorporateForesight #FutureThinking

Energized by three impactful days at the Innovation Roundtable® Summit in Copenhagen last week, where Maximilian Panthen and I participated! 🌟   From panel discussions to hands-on workshops, the conference provided a dynamic platform for knowledge-sharing. We had the chance to connect with lots of inspiring people who are driving innovation across sectors. 🚀   Alongside my usual passion for #InnovationforSustainability, this time, I dived deep into the theme of #Culture and #Leadership. It was great to learn from pioneers such as the LEGO Group and Tamara J. (Tammy) Erickson what it takes to create a space that „energizes everyone, every day“! The essential ingredients? Curiosity, Focus, Courage to Create, Allowing Choice, and Building Trust. 🌱    Looking forward to applying the insights gained!   #Innovation #Sustainability #Leadership #Collaboration #InnovationRoundtable #KSB

Attending the "Foresight That Works" event in Berlin organized by Rohrbeck Heger - Strategic Foresight + Innovation Consultants was truly inspiring!💡Surrounded by top experts from diverse fields, we engaged in insightful workshops and discussions, sharing our #foresight journeys. Two days dedicated to learn from each other and connect with practioners. Once again it became clear: Foresight - not just innovation - is also a cultural challenge. And therefore, strategic foresight efforts need to be not only visible but also in the right language of the people 💬 A big thank you to the organizing team and all contributors! Excited for the next foresight exchange and keeping up the spirit 😊🌟 #strategicforesight #futureSready #innovation
