“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Albert Einstein

Mission

As a creative technologist, psychologist and design thinking coach I am fascinated about the interactions between humans and machines. I don’t believe that technology alone can solve problems. If we neglect the human factor, more technology will create more problems.

It is therefore my mission to educate and inspire decision makers about technical possibilities and constraints in an easily digestible way. Only when we understand what ‘blockchain’, ‘mixed realities’, ‘artificial intelligence’ and other buzzwords mean, can we have an informed discussion about how we want to use these technologies to solve the very problems at hand.

Feel free to contact me for individual offerings:

• Keynote Speeches (15-60 minutes)

• Presentation & Pitch Coaching (2-4 hours)

• Workshops (4-16 hours)

Have you asked yourself the following questions?

Which technologies will set businesses apart?

A lot of articles these day talk about ‘artificial intelligence’, ‘blockchain’ and ‘mixed realities’, but do we always understand, what these words mean?

Let me introduce to you the latest trends and technologies of the 21st century, and present examples how successful and unsuccessful companies use them.

Keynote Speeches

I offer 15, 40, or 60 minutes keynote speeches, after which you and your stakeholders will have a common understanding of latest trends and technologies. It will enable your organization to have more solid and informed discussions going forward. You chose which level of detail and industry is most relevant for you.

How can I implement tangible solutions already today?

Some companies promise ‘intelligent’ machines that do everything ‘automatically’. But how long will it take to train these machines not to make mistakes? Who will observe and intervene if things do go wrong? Will it really save money or just create chaos?

There are some tools, solutions and sensors, that can leapfrog your business within a quarter at almost no additional costs. The intelligence lies in your choices, not in the machines alone.

Workshops

Book a 4-8 hour workshop, to leverage the power of what you have, before buying what you don’t need. After the session you can with confidence oversee the implementation of the newest solutions and quick proof of concepts.

Which environments foster innovation?

Scientists have found out that groundbreaking ideas happen in cubicles under the buzz of a neon light-bulb in between meetings and calls - not.

Often, a corporate response to competition is to acquire startups. However, they could also kick-start their own in-house grassroots movement of creativity and disruption by creating the right culture and environment and empowering their expert employees.

Innovation Architecture

There are certain aspects of our professional working environment that foster innovation. Having built and worked in innovation spaces around the globe, I can help you create your personal ideation rooms for sustainable in-house innovation that fit your specific needs and architectural constraints.
