CONQUERING NEW THINGS WITH CLARITY, FOCUS AND THE RIGHT COURSE
CONQUERING NEW THINGS WITH CLARITY, FOCUS AND THE RIGHT COURSE
As an Innonaut, I guide managers in medium-sized businesses out of stagnation using Japanese-inspired methods – to crystal-clear focus, concrete recommendations for action, and genuine self-efficacy.
Venturing into the unknown, exploring new territories, dealing with uncertainty – these are things that the exploration of the universe and good innovation management have in common.
I bring the navigation expertise for this: with over 25 years of international experience, Japanese methods that act like a booster, and the 360° Innonautic Scan as your personal orientation tool.

APPROACHES
The innovation universe offers a multitude of methods, making it difficult to select the right ones and adapt them effectively. My approach prioritizes personality and values, and I integrate project and innovation management into a cohesive whole.
PERSPECTIVES
A comprehensive view from many perspectives is crucial for innovation and strategy success. When working on new concepts, it is essential to consider various environmental factors, such as structures, processes, and the company culture, among others.
I systematize the various building blocks with my special orientation tool 360° Innonautic Scan .
INSIGHTS
I enrich innovation and strategy management with deep dives into Asian business cultures. Japanese economy, culture, and mentality play a particularly important role in this.
Together we will achieve "aha!" moments!

ABOUT ME
BABETTE SONNTAG PhD
THE INNONAUT
Navigator for managers who want to bring about change.
With 25 years of international experience working with and in Japanese and German public companies as well as private tech SMEs, I know that the biggest obstacle to innovation is rarely a lack of creativity. It's a lack of clarity, a lack of focus, and an unsuitable methodology.
I help managers in medium-sized businesses who want to make a difference and are stuck, to find a crystal-clear course, tailor-made methods and a self-efficacy that truly works.
My toolbox is deliberately different from that of other innovation consultants:
Through my life in Japan, years of working with Asian business partners, and my innovation training in cooperation with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI International), I've learned how Japanese methods, combined with the right innovation approaches, create lasting effectiveness in (innovation) management. They aren't just tools you use and then put away; rather, they are based on attitude, networking, and commitment, which act like a booster. They change how managers drive innovation and how they feel about it. Unlike the "faster and louder" approach of other methods, for me, values, empathy, and a commitment to quality make the "Japanese" difference.
​
What you will gain:
You'll reach your goal faster and with greater focus – using methods that suit you.
You develop a crystal-clear problem definition and concrete next steps.
You will not only become more efficient – but more unique and self-reliant.
