Innovation News

Dear Fellow Innovators,

We hope you are enjoying this very much welcomed beginning of spring! With Easter just ahead we might even get some time to enjoy it!

Indeed, you might find some time to read our latest posts on the Wisdom section of the ILF website. We have one article about Circular Economy, originally by Eco Business, one about digital disruption and a couple of interviews about leadership and context.
 

This week we will introduce you to Christine Von Allwörden, a key member of the ILF family. Christine is the glue that holds the ILF together. Her spirit, patience and never ending common sense are invaluable in organising and coordinating the ILF’s activities. It is she who ensures that materials, information and participants are all in the right place at the right time – and also that Bettina does not have to be in two places at the same time (though Bettina would quite fancy that at times!).

 

When running of a one week programme on "Design Thinking Experienced" at Kedge University in France, Bettina met a bunch of very interesting and motivated young students, among them Nina, who is looking for an internship in London. She describes herself, "Hard working and creative, internationally experienced Master’s Dual- Degree student, looking for a minimum of 6-month paid intenship in London in the fields of marketing, CRM or branding." If this might be of interest to you, here are her CV and cover letter.
