Again and again I am asked what I am currently doing. Therefore, here is my status quo report, also to protect myself.
What I am currently focusing on
I am based in Berlin and am currently working on these topics. The list is a public declaration of priorities – inspired by Derek Sivers’ /now idea.
In focus (Q3-Q4 2025)
- Supporting innovation projects – evaluation of the Software Campus, distance learning DQR analysis and consulting for innovative companies.
