Summary

I use systems thinking to deliberately design learning experiences and drive systemic change effectively. Based on evidence-based practices, I help organizations develop transferable skills and foster innovation processes in a sustainable way. My work combines scientific rigor with hands-on experience from leading interdisciplinary teams and running companies.

My focus is on consulting, training, and organizational development. I successfully blend creative solutions with strategic insights to enable lasting progress across various industries.

As the author of several professional books, including “Making Agile Simple” (Haufe) and “Methods for Systems Thinking” (Routledge), I share my knowledge and experiences with a wide audience.
