His focus: getting people moving — through clear processes, clean facilitation and a feel for when an organisation is ready for the next step. Trained in systemic organisational development and Design Thinking (Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam), he combines analytical sharpness with the ability to create orientation even in large, complex groups. As co-author of "Vision – Mission – Werte" (Beltz Verlag) he has helped shape how organisations develop mission statements that hold.
