Inner Development for Purposeful Innovation


I believe that being aware of how we function as humans, our inner software, is the greatest opportunity for real innovation and change.

Hi, my name is Kamil. I believe that being aware of how we function as humans, our inner software, is the greatest opportunity for real innovation and transformation.

I call myself an idea person, founder, (outdoor) facilitator and co-creator, among other things. I build bridges between “creating impact / new business” and “being human / people & culture”. To this end, I create innovative experiences that transform people, organizations and markets in a meaningful way.

In my work, I have experienced where real innovation and change fail. It was less about knowledge or motivation and much more about our inner mechanisms as human beings.

People love their habits, so it’s no wonder that resistance to change is the biggest challenge when implementing agile methods (State of Agile Report, 2020). The corporate culture based on this is considered the biggest blocker for digitalization (McKinsey Digital Survey, 2018) and 23% of all startups fail due to problems in the team (Top Reasons Startups Fail, 2019).

Most people now realize that openness, collaboration, experimentation and even failure are necessary to enable innovation. However, it is difficult to integrate this into everyday life because up to 90% of our behavior is determined by unconscious behavioral patterns and emotions.

Through the integration and development of our Inner Development Goals, we can cultivate the conscious handling of these inner processes and open ourselves up to change (Capgemini, Emotional Intelligence Report, 2019).

My work is based on mindfulness-based emotional intelligence at SIY Global as well as collaborative projects such as Walkaboutyou – sustainable transformation from the inside out(side), IDG Hub Cologne / Bonn, Mind & Work Initiative at REWE digital and Purpose Exploration.

As an innovation consultant and startup coach, I have developed dozens of startup and innovation formats and coached hundreds of teams since 2013, e.g. for Google, Telekom, Bosch, EON and World Food Program.

You can find out more about my experience on LinkedIn. If you’d like to chat, just write to me.

See you soon, Kamil.
