Blog about organizational design & the future of work


Impulses for future-fit organizations

You'll find regular posts here - in English, German and Italian - on organizational design, organizational development, systems thinking, people & culture (HR) and the future of work.

The articles are written in clear, accessible language. No jargon, no buzzwords.


My aim ist to make these topics tangible and relevant to a broader audience. Some posts are part of a themed series - you'll recognise them by their numbering.


If there's a topic you'd like to explore together, let me know. I'd love to hear from you.

What to expect here

You'll find articles, essays, and reflections – in English, German, and Italian – on the things that shape how we work and grow together: organizational design, systems thinking, people & culture, and change. I also share hands-on examples, real-world observations, and questions that invite deeper thinking.


All my English-language articles are also available on  Medium .

If you'd like to stay in the loop, feel free to follow me there.


Curious to exchange ideas? Let’s talk.


A new whitepaper is in the making.

The previous version no longer reflects my current approach and perspective.
A new edition is in progress - thoughtful, relevant, and to the point.


It will be available here as soon as it's ready.


Until then, feel free to explore current insights and ideas on the blog.
