Speaker Profile
 Josephine Green was appointed Senior Director of Trends and Strategy at Philips Design in 1997. She promotes new thinking and new knowledge in the fields of Foresight and Society, Cultures and People Research, and its application to strategic thinking, sustainable innovation and new value creation. She pioneered the Strategic Futures Program that helps companies and organizations think about and implement a human focused approach to innovation and growth.
Regarding socio-cultural research, a subject on which she speaks regularly and is a widely-recognized authority, she says; "While technology has undoubtedly improved peoples lives, it also has the potential to complicate and diminish them. That is why we're building up our knowledge and insights on society and cultures and our engagement with users and stakeholders in order to better ensure that our solutions are relevant and meaningful to the individual, the culture and society as a whole."
She has worked both in international sales and marketing in the health and beauty sector and for a leading institute on social cultural research and change for strategic innovation and marketing. She has consistently helped customers introduce new thinking and sustainable development into their culture and processes. Josephine has given many international presentations, and lectures at a number of universities’ masters and executive courses.
Josephine Green was born in the United Kingdom and studied History and Politics at Warwick University in England. She has lived in England, Italy and the Netherlands.
