The ISPIM Innovation Leadership group has been created in order to focus on the role of leadership in facilitating innovation
We have some very sad news to share.
We heard recently that our friend, Innovation Leadership group founder and co-leader, Karina Jensen passed away in late October, 2025. Karina was diagnosed with cancer and had been receiving treatment through late 2024 and 2025.
We don’t know much about her final weeks at this point, but we do know she was with her sister and a close friend when she passed.
We’re all taking time to absorb this devastating news. And in the coming weeks we’ll think of how to honour Karina and celebrate her life, and we’ll extend the invitation to you, of course.
With love,
Rob, Stephanie, Jörg and Ajit
What are the new skills and mindsets required for innovation leaders today? Due to constant change in a dynamic and digitally connected world, there is a growing need for leaders who can inspire, connect, and engage across the organization. Yet there are few models and limited research on what it takes to lead innovation in a global and digitally connected environment.
The ISPIM Innovation Leadership group has been created in order to focus on the role of leadership in facilitating innovation. This requires attention to human-centric skills and competencies for empowering employees while creating value for customers around the world.
