Dr. Dorothea Ernst works with executives and teams, accompanies personal and organisational transformation processes. She is sustainability catalyst at INFORM in Aachen, Germany. She holds a PhD of physics and is a mediator, author and public speaker. For 16 years she has worked at Philips, helping to shape innovation and change processes. Two important stages were the collaboration in the digitisation of the lighting industry, and the introduction of sustainability as an innovative force for the whole of Philips. In both assignments she learned that people and their goals, values and attitudes in combination with smart use of technology are the essential ingredients for innovation and long-term, life-affirming success.
