A Professor at the Arthur Lok Jack Global School of Business, Henrik has written several books on business including 3 volumes of “The Complete Business Process Handbook”. His publications are often listed as required reading at universities for undergraduate and master’s degrees but are also great material for anyone who wants to learn how to innovate in business.

From early on in his career, Henrik assumed roles of high responsibility. In 2008, he was a part of the Advisory Council at the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, a role through which he inaugurated Germany’s digital agenda that elicited revolutionary effects. This Digital Agenda was adopted by the European Condition and soon evolved into the 4th Industrial Revolution. The Digital Agenda has transformed into one of Europe’s seven flagships that has led to economic growth of 5% GDP with a market value of a staggering €660 billion per annum. He has also delivered the TEDx talk, "Industry 4.0 Rewrites the Rules for a New Economic Era", explaining how Industry 4.0 and renewable energy are merging to transform our economy.
