The Innovation Leadership Forum (ILF) is a visionary and original Think & Do Tank  which works with senior management teams to instil the confidence to lead and innovate, confidentially and responsibly, in the turbulent context of the 21st century. The three foundations on which the work builds are: a focus on people, a deep understanding of specific context, and a system-based approach. The ILF was set up by innovation philosopher, story teller and catalyst Dr Bettina von Stamm, creator of the Innovation Wave®, a tool for the facilitated assessment of innovation capabilities. Bettina is also author of four books: ‘The Innovation Wave - Meeting the corporate challenge’ (Wiley, 2002), ‘Managing Innovation Design & Creativity’ (2nd edition 2008), ‘The Future of Innovation’, with Dr Anna Trifilova (Gower 2009), and 'Innovation - Embracing The Path of Change to Create Value', (Lulu, 2013).
