AI needs an expanded consciousness.
AI opens up a leap in intelligence for us. My conviction: for it to become an evolutionary leap, we must act in a highly intelligent and highly conscious way.
I connect the development of people and organisations with the design of AI systems. In my teaching, my consulting and my development work, the same question drives me: how can we use the new possibilities of AI so that they lead to more self-directed learning, responsible collaboration and new value creation?
With AI-native Consulting, I have been working independently since January 2026 on business and organisational models and the AI architecture they require. My work combines business and scientific thinking with practical systems development.
MY CONCERN
highly intelligent
By this I mean the new possibilities that arise when people and AI work together: making knowledge accessible, understanding complex relationships and designing new solutions.
highly conscious
For me, this means questioning our own motives and patterns of thought, including other perspectives and taking responsibility for the consequences.
My guiding thesis: AI needs an expanded consciousness. By this I mean us humans. Additional capability can also intensify control and performance pressure. I want to design and use AI so that people gain room to act. That includes our attitude, the culture of collaboration, the incentives in organisations and the concrete design of the systems.
Evolutionary leap describes my goal: that we develop our capacities for self-directed learning, responsible collaboration and shared design.
PEOPLE AND AI
AI supports
People shape
In practice, this means examining goals and consequences, clarifying responsibilities and deciding deliberately which work we delegate. Time gained can open up space for relationships, learning and creative work. Whether that happens also depends on how we design organisations and workflows.
WHAT I WORK ON
I design and develop business and organisational models with AI. My AI stack connects knowledge, agents and applications to test new forms of value creation and collaboration in practice. In doing so, I combine strategic design, development with AI and further development in operation.
At IU International University I teach, among other subjects, AI in marketing and e-commerce as well as intercultural and ethical competencies. I develop course concepts and AI-supported learning systems intended to connect professional skill, perspective-taking and reflective judgement.
Previously: teaching on values-based leadership and corporate management at Hochschule Fresenius (2012–2016).
As chair of Ethik und Verantwortung in der Arbeitswelt e.V. (E-V-A), I work on the development of consciousness, values and culture. I am interested in how personal reflection and shared design interact – and how AI can be used meaningfully for this.
The Institute for Integral Management is being established. In planned publications, I want to explore the connection between AI, attitude and organisational development in both scientific and practical terms.
EXPERIENCE AND APPROACH
My background combines business administration, business informatics, research and consulting. Developing information and management systems, business intelligence and strategic corporate management forms one foundation of my work today.
I build what I teach – and test my ideas in practice. Systems emerge from my own design work, professional exchange and working with AI. I deliberately distinguish between an idea, a built system and a demonstrated effect.
Creating value through appreciation is my guiding motto.
