What fascinates me is the complexity of life, and I am really interested in how we try to tailor our concepts and actions to master the various tasks necessary for ensuring a successful future, be it on a general scale or in detail.

The development of communication technology over the past few years has led to an enormous acceleration in all processes. At the same time, the world has become a village.

This also affects my clients and their staff. I will gladly help evaluate the resulting development potential, I enjoy questioning apparently accepted traditional principles that have been extrapolated into the future and I am pleased to be able to examine unconventional indications on the basis of my experience and put into practice the results I get.
