PRESENTATION AT FRAUNHOFER INSTITUTE

PRESENTATION AT FRAUNHOFER INSTITUTE

As part of a strategy conference Dr. Nagel was invited to give a lecture at the Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart  The title of her lecture is: “Behavioral Strategy:   Integrating Psychology into Corporate Strategic Management.” In this lecture, Dr Nagel will show to what extent not only rational and planning considerations are incorporated in the strategy development, but also that emotional and “cognitive-irrational” play an important role.

ART IN THE PARK OF THE LILI TEMPLE

ART IN THE PARK OF THE LILI TEMPLE

The action artist Guntram Prochaska used his chain saw in November 2018 to design the tree stump of a felled maple due to an illness. The result is the “Lili Queen”, which alludes to the Lili Temple. Unfortunately, the maple had to be felled because of a mycelium so that its stability was no longer guaranteed. The Lili Queen has been watching over the Lili Temple ever since.

EUROPEAN WOMEN ON BOARD INVITES INTERNATIONAL BOARD PROFESSIONALS

EUROPEAN WOMEN ON BOARD INVITES INTERNATIONAL BOARD PROFESSIONALS

In November, the European Women on Board initiative invites selected female professionals to a network and speed dating event with head hunters for board positions. Dr. Claudia Nagel was present a member of the International Board Professionals.

European Women on Board is a European initiative with the following goals:

PREMIER EUROPEAN NETWORK

We will develop the European network of “first tier” non-profit organizations by promoting and increasing the number of women in boards. Now there are 20% women of NED listed companies. At the same time, European Union intends to promote a target of 40% in 2020 in roughly 5000 companies.

INTERNATIONAL BOARD PROFESSIONALS

We have built an international female talent pool to offer opportunities to board-ready women, so they can reach top positions with international visibility and board mandates at European level. Thereby they are able to present the added value they can offer to boards.

DIVERSITY ON BOARDS

We actively participate in the debate of diversity on boards in order to improve the practice of corporate
governance, innovation and more balanced business models. We share the interest of companies and non-profit organizations to innovate, develop and grow.
