Welcome! I am a Professor at International School of Management (ISM) in Cologne, Germany. Besides my academic work, I am acknowledged as an author, thought leader, keynote speaker, and management consultant for innovation, sustainability, and AI. My specialized company projects currently focus on: sustainability as an opportunity for innovation as well as combining human and artificial intelligence for competitive advantage.

is a positive sustainability strategy that focuses on innovation and new business opportunities rather than limiting sustainability programs to resource efficiency and process optimization. Thus, it refers to developing innovative solutions for achieving a competitive advantage.
Beyond reporting: Business case for sustainability
Efficiency gains, new business, employer branding, agile innovation and more: The business case for sustainability and ESG goes far beyond reporting requirements. In my new keynote and workshop, I highlight major sustainability-related opportunities based on an integrative business case framework with examples.
