Once again, we had the pleasure of hosting a guest lecture within the framework of the bachelor course "Digital Innovation: From Idea to Impact." On May 8, 2024, Luisa Katzenberger brought the concepts discussed in previous sessions closer to us through her own experience and expertise. She provided exciting insights into the ongoing development of ideas in her startups and the resulting value creation. "Create value or die" was the motto here.
Furthermore, she shared useful methodologies to make work processes not only more efficient but also more promising. Among other things, AI-supported task delegation and finding and working with the right people are well received by the already interested students. Collaboration is the modern competition, and Ms. Katzenberger demonstrated how resources can be effectively outsourced to focus on the core competencies of one's own team. Based on her experiences, she explained how emerging problems can be cleverly utilized to create new innovations.
However, what is essential for success, she says, is not only to know the adaptation curve but also to build a community with a customer-centric perspective, which should help us better understand the real requirements of the product and thus generate a direct customer connection.
The students asked various questions, making for an exciting exchange. We warmly thank Ms. Luisa Katzenberger for her time and insights into the industry. We hope to welcome her back as a guest speaker soon.
