Futurist - Expert on Banking, Innovation & Customer Value

Axel Liebetrau’s motto: ‘Futurise your business – before someone else does it for you.’

Current issues such as a weakening economy, but also ongoing topics such as digitalisation and new ways of working, are not making leadership and business easy. It feels as if it has never been so difficult and we have never had so much to do. But now we must look ahead! What exactly does that mean for us as managers and entrepreneurs? What should we do now to overcome challenges unscathed and quickly regain momentum?

Axel Liebetrau’s Lecture topics

  • How do you make a difference? With ease!
  • Innovation instead of bans – technologies for a future worth living
  • FUTURE TECH – technologies for a liveable and sustainable future
  • The new rules of the future: innovation x impetus x implementation
  • Longevity as a game changer: how longevity is transforming business models and companies

Axel Liebetrau: ‘Managers must be forward thinkers. They must be able to communicate where the journey is headed in the future, otherwise they will degenerate into mere administrators.’

His passion is ensuring that companies and people are fit for the future. This is not about predicting exactly what the future holds for us. Rather, it is about identifying possible paths and alternatives for employees and companies. The new ‘supreme discipline’ consists of maintaining an overview and orientation, recognising changes in customer behaviour and new technologies at an early stage, and quickly translating these into viable solutions.

As a futurologist and innovation expert, Axel Liebetrau brings valuable experience to bear when embarking on ‘completely’ new projects and tasks.

In innovation and future-oriented projects, creative and sometimes even slightly ‘crazy’ approaches are used to motivate employees. A different mindset develops among employees: how employees think bigger about the project, how employees strive for the maximum, or how employees constantly question things and then always do them a little better. Inspiring employees and entire project teams to embrace new ideas can be seen as a kind of art, but it is not a ‘secret science’.
