Founder, Artisan

Longer profile

In 2006 Inga founded Artisan, which is all about collaborative problem-solving between a global group of maverick thought leaders, pioneers and visionaries across disciplines - including world renowned physicist-futurist Peter Russell, Biosphere2 inventor John Allen, renegade scientist Luca Turin - and commercial and social decision makers to stimulate new thinking and catalyse new ideas that tackle 21st century innovation challenges. Inga is passionate about the future - a place that we don't go, but that we create. She loves connecting people and creating face-to-face environments that support creative collaboration and the harnessing of collective intelligence. She sees her role as that of a magnet - attracting and actively going out and finding the really interesting new voices - facilitator, enabler and editor - linking ideas and recognizing emerging patterns of thought. A designer and journalist by trade, German-born Inga brings a breadth of talent and a depth of experience in high-level trend research and analysis, spanning Europe, London and New York. She accomplished her approach as UK Director for Cultural Intelligence consultancy Sputnik Inc., and as cultural insights consultant at brand consultancy New Solutions. Inga is the conceiver and former host of the non-profit forum Ethertalk.org discussing change, and a former researcher for Trend Büro and online trends service WGSN.com.
