JUSTESEN SPEAKS AT INTERESTING FACHFORUM IN BERLIN
April 2010: Susanne Justesen was invited to speak at this highly interesting conference about gender and diversity in innovation processes in Berlin on April 13th. The conference - or Fachforum - was organised by the German Organisation EAF (Europäische Akademie für Frauen in Politik und Wirtschaft), and was centered around a highly relevant research project they have been conducting at EAF about diversity in innovation processes in five major multinational organisations (Deutche Telekom, Porsche, Daimler, Bosch and IBM), in order to understand the role of diversity in their innovation processes. The findings have yet to be published, and we were promised by the project leader, Ms. Bessing, that they would be publishing the results in English by the end of the year. We will keep you informed about this here at the website.
