Ever since I submerged in my dad’s workshop as a kid, I was driven by the quest to improve people’s lives with technical solutions. Back then, I knew already – I wanted to be an engineer. Some studying years, relocations between Germany, the USA and the Netherlands and several technical deep dives from biomaterials to 3D printing later, I can call myself a material scientist and mechanical engineer. I have been working for a major German automotive OEM on the quest of tomorrow’s mobility – a basic human need from my perspective. So far, I had the chance to get to know future vehicle concepts, to gain deep insights into our technical innovations, to develop digital business models, to track radical ideas and to support the cultural transformation. Now I am using the freedom of a Corporate Innovation Hub to shape the future of mobility and empower people.
Examples of previous talks / appearances:
To find sustainable solutions for the future, we need to support all the good ideas that people around the world have, and we need to encourage them to put these ideas into practice. This is the idea behind “the Do School”. They work with companies to create business opportunities, experiment with concrete ideas for sustainable action and network with like-minded people and experts to drive sustainable change. This has resulted in Henkel's Sustainability Incubator Lab – an online learning program for selected participants within Henkel to develop and work on sustainable business ideas.
In this episode, Janine talks to Anna Rojan, Senior Program Lead at “the Do School”, and Aleksandra Zolkowska, Digital Marketing Specialist at Henkel, about how we can explore new opportunities, create impact and drive sustainable change.
In this episode, you will learn:
• Why “the Do School” was founded
• What the Henkel Sustainability Incubator Lab is
• How we can become more creative and solution-oriented
