After studying business engineering (a program with distinct inter-disciplinary nature, containing business administration, management, law and engineering) at TU Darmstadt, his first position was Innovation-Consultant at the Innovation and Creativity Department of Battelle Institute, Frankfurt.

Convinced by the success of interdisciplinary project work, he developed a professional training/coaching concept for successful facilitation of interdisciplinary research and development teams. This unique approach called

Professional Moderation of Meetings and Workshops prepared facilitators, coordinators and leaders with necessary skills to handle both, subject specific challenges and social emotional conflicts successfully. It had been tested as sustainably effective under conditions of real projects at the department of Battelle Technology Management and is publicly offered as Mangement-Training by ZFU-AG, Switzerland.

At the Department of Marketing TU-Darmstadt (Prof. Dr. G. Specht), he was also promoting and developing computer-aided learning and simulation programs (Mac/Windows) in areas of market research, statistics and management psychology and promoted their use in lectures and exercises.

Through an international stay at Tongji University, Shanghai, PR China, he supported the introduction and design configuration of business engineering with lectures and exercises in subjects of market-oriented business management.

Further studies, including executive management at MIT in Boston, as well as creativity and problem solving methods at CEF in Buffalo, led to the deepening of an intercultural approach to global project work.

 

BASF SE, Robert Bosch GmbH, BMW AG, Apple Deutschland GmbH, and ZFU-AG have made extensive assignments to the application of the moderation concept at various levels and situations of the companies. The requirements of BASF SE, BMW AG, Beiersdorf AG and Infineon AG led to a management concept for global, team-oriented project management.
