Quick Link for all, just looking for my contact info. Personal Introduction For over 30 years, I have been bringing together business, technology, organization, and people to make digitalization, innovation, and AI practical and usable. I help companies to provide guidance, To reveal dependencies, Building ability to act Effectively implementing digitalization and innovation under real-world conditions. Working at the intersection of people, technology, and business I work in areas where digitalization, innovation, business, technology, and people must all be taken into account at the same time—and where standard solutions no longer suffice. The most difficult problems are rarely purely technical. Often missing: Orientation Common Language Connection between disciplines (interdisciplinary coordination) regaining the ability to make complex situations manageable in practice. That is exactly where my focus is. My Approach Every project has its own context. That is why I take a pragmatic, technology-neutral, and highly communication- and context-oriented approach—from the initial assessment through to practical implementation. My work brings together: Business Technology Organisation Communication People and AI The goal is not “more digitalization” or “more AI, ” but rather greater practical effectiveness. AI, Context & digital Orientation Many companies today are investing in digitalization and AI without this automatically leading to a clear direction, acceptance, or measurable effectiveness. I am therefore exploring the question: How can companies use AI effectively without creating new complexity? To that end, I work with, among others: AI Agents Human-AI Collaboration Semantic knowledge structures Open Source Automation Platforms AI Operating Models DBRS (Digital Business Relevance Suite) Goal is: Organizing Knowledge Establishing orientation Highlighting Connections and Dependencies Fostering competency growth Relieving and empowering teams Making innovation practical and usable Publicly known Projects and Methods Experience Innovation™ An approach to introducing and gaining acceptance for new solutions in everyday business operations.
