The digital age is characterized by ever shorter planning cycles. Modern innovation methods are taking up this change by making radical collaboration, strategy sprints and customer-oriented developments even more essential.

Based on the findings in jazz and improvisation theater ensembles, these methods and techniques can be learned to foster a collaborative leadership style.
