Reshaping the future - with your innovation partner for reinvention, innovation and transformation

Generate ideas

I support managers and their teams in developing ideas for complex problems and current challenges that are not only innovative, but also create real added value. Together, we combine creativity with technology to actively shape the future - strategically, meaningfully and with a focus on what really matters.

Appeal to the senses

I help managers and their teams to not just think about the future, but to feel it - by working together to create spaces, user experience chains and contact points in which ideas can be experienced, values can be felt and technologies become tangible. Because real transformation begins where we appeal to all the senses.

Develop concepts

Together with managers and their teams, I develop innovative concepts that not only work on paper, but also in reality. We combine strategic and economic thinking with technological expertise and a human approach - to shape the future, create value and make change tangible.

Impetus for change - consulting, workshops and training on reinvention, innovation and transformation

Consulting

I support managers and their teams in opening up creative thinking spaces, reinventing the existing and boldly transforming it. Together we develop ideas that have substance, use technologies with meaning - and create values that provide orientation in a complex world and shape the future.

Workshops

In my workshops, managers and teams experience how creative impulses become concrete ideas and how ideas become viable concepts and business models. We think in new ways, act boldly and use technology as a tool for real change - to shape the future together, create value and fill change with meaning.

Trainings

In my training courses, I not only impart knowledge, but also enable people to experience it. Together with managers and their teams, I train creative ways of thinking, transformative skills and the confident use of new technologies - so that ideas become real innovation and change becomes progress in practice.

Years of REINVENTIS

Years of theory & practice

Workshop participants

Hello, my name is Erik A. Leonavicius

I have been working as an expert, moderator and author in the fields of reinvention, innovation and transformation since 1997 - with in-depth specialist knowledge, many years of experience and a clear sense of profitability, creativity and multisensory approaches.

Since 2006, I have been supporting managers and their teams as an innovation partner with my consulting and service company REINVENTIS - with a focus on reinvention, innovation and transformation. The focus is on co-creation, creativity, the development of viable basic ideas and business models as well as the development of customized master plans and implementation support.

Together, we create space for new perspectives, use technology as a driver and shape the future with substance - multisensory, collaborative and effective.

My goal is to work with you to create sustainable values that not only accompany change, but actively drive it forward - through creative co-creation and strategic implementation expertise.

Competence

I have an exceptional mix of skills based on sound training and many years of practical, management and teaching experience.

I have a degree in business administration (FH), real estate economist (ebs), restaurant specialist and state-certified biological-technical assistant (BTA).

I gained my extensive project experience at internationally renowned consulting firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Dr. Kaub Consult, Pannell Kerr Forster (PKF Hotelexperts) and Accenture.

As (co-)author of numerous specialist books and articles, I have contributed to various publications and bestsellers. I am also a member of IMMOEBS e.V. and the Deutscher Fachjournalistenverband (DFJV e.V.).

Depending on the project requirements, I work closely with customer project teams. On request, customers, suppliers and other specialists, experts and key partners can also be integrated into the project team. This integrative approach enables my full-service offering and ensures optimal results.

Collaboration is flexible - analog at a location of your choice or virtual, independent of time and location.

From 2009 to 2019, I worked as a lecturer at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, the University of Applied Management in Erding, the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship in Munich.

There I taught courses, seminars and examinations with a focus on: Start-ups, Intrapreneurship, Value Design Thinking, Value Proposition Design, Business Model Innovation, Multisensory Interactions, Sensehacking as well as Innovation, Quality and Technology Management - especially at the Faculties of Economics, Tourism, Hotel and Restaurant Management and Design.

In 2010, I initiated the industry solution RESTAURANTMARKETING.DE(www.restaurantmarketing.de) at the request of my customers.

This was followed in 2021 by the founding of the REINVENTIS platform for online and face-to-face formats: THE SCHOOL OF INNOVATION(www.theschoolofinnovation.de).

In 2025, the platform THE SCHOOL OF REINVENTION(www.theschoolofreinvention.de) was founded in response to customer requests.

  • Graduate business economist (FH)
  • Real estate economist (ebs)
  • Restaurant specialist

  • Around 20 years of experience as a real estate economist (ebs) in asset management, as a driving force and in investor relations in the management of real estate portfolios of private asset owners, entrepreneurial families and family offices.

Creativity meets experience - personal expertise from workshops, consulting and training for sustainable transformation

Creativity meets packaging - sustainable, innovative, effective

In the "Innovative packaging" project, the customer team was specifically trained in co-creative methods to develop sustainable packaging solutions that combine environmental awareness with modern design.

I taught agile working methods and presented a tried-and-tested innovation management system in accordance with ISO 56002.

The result: the participants not only gained knowledge, but also concrete tools to start co-creative processes independently and design efficient, sustainable solutions.

Virtual academy - knowledge that moves

The "Virtual Academy for Caregivers of People with Disabilities" is an innovative e-learning platform for the targeted qualification of specialists.

Together with the client, I developed a digital learning environment with interactive modules, practical workshops and certified courses - flexible, individual and available at any time.

The content is tailored precisely to the needs of caregivers: from communication and inclusion to promoting independence.

A special highlight: the direct exchange with experts in online and face-to-face formats - for new impulses, current insights and practical know-how.

Global Cultural Entrepreneurship Hubs - Creativity connects the world

On behalf of the Goethe-Institut and the Federal Foreign Office - in cooperation with the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (SCE) - a global platform was created to promote cultural entrepreneurs worldwide.

I designed and developed the interactive online platform for e-learning and international collaboration. It provides access to practical training, high-quality resources and global networking.

The focus: the exchange of ideas, best practices and projects in the field of cultural entrepreneurship. Interactive learning modules, tailored to different cultural contexts, promoted a lively community in which participants could inspire and develop each other.

A particular concern was connecting local entrepreneurs with international experts. Virtual workshops, webinars and forums created space for new collaborations - and strengthened cultural exchange and economic development in equal measure.

A barrier-free, inclusive learning environment was created using modern Moodle technology. The result: a global impact community that combines entrepreneurial thinking with cultural diversity and social responsibility.

Travelcenter of the future - a new travel experience

The "Travelcenter of the future" project aims to revolutionize travel planning and booking through innovative, multi-sensory technologies.

Research, experts and customer interviews show: Travellers increasingly want immersive, interactive and personalized experiences - even before they book.

The jointly developed master plan for the flagship store as an innovation laboratory creates a physical and digital world of experience in which destinations become tangible through virtual reality, augmented reality and haptic feedback. Visitors not only experience images and sounds, but also scents (e.g. scented videos), flavors and atmosphere - thanks to innovative gastronomy concepts and events.

The result: a unique customer experience that allows travel to be experienced with all the senses in the flagship store or digitally in front of the Kuf. This makes decisions more conscious, offers more individual and customer loyalty stronger.

The travel center of the future combines anticipation with technology - and turns inspiration into bookings.

I would be happy to explain approved details of other projects to you in a personal meeting.

Sharing knowledge, shaping the future - insight into publications on reinvention, innovation and strategic transformation

Business Models for Teams - Book - Reference - Innovation, Reinvention and Transformation - REINVENTIS - Munich - Strategy Consulting

Business Model For Teams

The international bestseller Business Model for Teams shows how companies really work - and how each individual team member actively contributes to success. After all, who wants to be just a cog in the wheel? We want to recognize and feel the meaning of our work! Tim Clark and Bruce Hazen demonstrate how managers can use the Business Model Canvas to make it clear to every employee what contribution he or she makes to the success of the business - at company, department and team level.

Business Model for Teams provides the urgently needed tool for one of the most challenging management tasks of our time:
being the coach of an independently operating team and aligning employees with others in a targeted manner towards common corporate goals. This cultural change from "I" to "we" is much easier if everyone involved has a common vision - a good basis for reinvention, innovation and transformation.

I am grateful and proud to be one of the 225 experts from 38 countries who helped develop this book.

  • A new book from the successful business model family.
  • Clark and Hazen impressively illustrate the connection between strategy (business model) and internal processes.
  • The aim of this book is to anchor systems thinking at all levels of the company - so that all departments and employees understand and experience themselves as a unit ("interdependent teamwork").

Business Model for Teams is a practical guide to modern leadership that helps companies to rethink their structures and make them fit for the future.

Business Model You - Book - Reference - Innovation, Reinvention and Transformation - REINVENTIS - Munich

Business Model You

The international bestseller Business Model You describes an innovative and effective methodology in four steps that can be used to develop individual, personal business models.

This method offers people the opportunity to adapt to a constantly changing world of work in a targeted manner - or to discover new, more fulfilling perspectives in their professional life. It creates a good basis for reinvention, innovation and transformation - both on a personal and professional level.

The method comes from the successful authors of the bestseller Business Model Generation - and I am proud to be one of the 328 co-authors of this unique work.

Business Model You has been published in over 15 languages and has helped tens of thousands of people worldwide to reinvent themselves in the middle of their career path or to give their career a more attractive, meaningful direction.

It is more than just a book - it is a tool for anyone who wants to actively shape their professional life and position themselves for the future. An invitation to personal transformation - well-founded, practical and inspiring.

Real Time Innovation - Innovation Process - Innovation, Reinvention and Transformation - REINVENTIS - Munich

Real Time Innovation

"Imagine the world is becoming wonderful - and it's your fault."

As co-author, I have made this sentence the guiding principle of our reflections on innovation processes. Because a look at the past shows: The most effective innovations have always emerged when social or ecological changes have triggered uncertainty, crises - or even a desire for something new.

I am convinced that innovation unfolds its true power when it actively shapes our future and gives us hope for a world worth living in. It is not primarily there to generate short-term profits through technical innovations - but to create real added value and bring good into the world. And that is precisely what is more important today than ever before.

Our society is facing challenges that can no longer be overcome with conventional approaches and solutions. That's why we need new approaches - and a good basis for reinvention, innovation and transformation.

The younger generation sees start-ups as an opportunity to realize themselves, their values and their dreams. At the same time, established companies are coming under increasing pressure to develop new approaches to innovation in order to remain successful and sustainable in the long term due to the rapid pace of change - such as digitalization, automation and globalization.

Politicians have also woken up: decision-makers are looking for strategies to secure competitiveness and shape the future through targeted innovation promotion.

Our understanding of innovation is also constantly changing. It evolves, adapts - and itself becomes a mirror of change. If you want to be innovative today, you not only need ideas, but also the courage to change and a common vision.

Quality in start-up support

I am co-author of a specialist article in this anthology, which is dedicated to the general topic of "Quality in start-up support". The focus is on central questions regarding the selection of suitable methods in the practical support of prospective founders - as well as aspects of assessment and evaluation. After all, quality is reflected in the fulfillment of requirements - but these have not yet been uniformly defined in start-up support.

The anthology provides a good basis for reinvention, innovation and transformation in start-up support by highlighting new perspectives and critically scrutinizing existing approaches.

A total of 30 contributions approach the topic from different angles. The volume combines scientific-research-based, conceptual, evaluative as well as practice- and experience-oriented contributions. The contents are divided into two main sections:

  • Part 1: Conceptual foundations and impulses for the further development of quality and methods in start-up support
  • Part 2: Start-up and skills development in action - methods, approaches and experiences from university and non-university contexts

The starting point for the book was the 3rd BIEM Symposium, which took place in Potsdam in June 2010 under the title
"Methods in start-up teaching, start-up coaching and start-up consulting - interventions and innovations".

The anthology makes an important contribution to the professionalization of start-up support - and offers all those working in this field valuable impulses for the further development of their work. It provides orientation in a dynamic environment and thus lays a solid foundation for forward-looking changes.

Managing Innovation in Hotels and Restaurants - Book - Reference - Innovation, Reinvention and Transformation - REINVENTIS - Munich

Innovation in the hospitality industry

The hospitality industry of the early 21st century was characterized by accelerated and sometimes erratic changes in the framework conditions.
As hosts, we faced intense national and international competition - confronted with rapid technological progress and constantly changing customer needs. As travel experience grew, so did guests' expectations. At the same time, new business models entered the market and quickly gained in importance.

It therefore became essential for hoteliers and restaurateurs to continuously come up with innovative solutions to ensure the future viability of their businesses. Innovation became a survival strategy - and a good basis for reinvention, innovation and transformation in a dynamic industry.

  • But what exactly do we mean by innovation?
  • What triggers it?
  • Where does innovation work begin - and is it ever complete?
  • What factors drive innovation?
  • How can innovation be systematized?
  • And how do you create a climate of innovation in the company?

This book provides answers to these and many other questions.
It combines theoretical principles with numerous practical examples and interviews - making it a valuable companion on the path to your own innovation strategy. In addition to the potential for success, prerequisites and methods for implementing sustainable ideas, it also shows the paths of successful innovators - as inspiration for your own departure.

Experienced entrepreneurs as well as service providers in the start-up phase will find sound support for planning, implementing and evaluating their innovation activities in this practical work.
It provides orientation in a complex environment - and creates a solid foundation for sustainable change.

I am delighted to have made a contribution to this important book with the chapter "Successfully implementing ideas with the help of professional innovation workshops".
