My life in a nutshell: No thoughts about economics before my apprenticeship at Mercedes Benz, the car manufacturer. Got enthusiastic when I saw the first impacts of the Internet in organizations. Could almost smell that this was something revolutionary and thus decided to learn more about it. Graduated in Business, found my mentor (Professor A.-W. Scheer) and spent the next years as a researcher at his Institute for Information Systems. Went to Dublin at Michael Smurfit Business School, which established my still enduring love affair with Ireland. Then the year 2000: Ph.D. for a lot of words about organizational learning and the end of the first part of my academic career – time to face business reality!Moved to Germany’s capital city of Berlin for freshly founded IMC, a spin-off from my university. Led the consulting unit, built up their international business and had a hell of fun with an awesome team of highly passionate people. Found my cause in helping "people in projects", and searching for the most valuable knowledge for those who face meaningful projects and are looking for hands-on tools. This is why I co-founded the creative commons community "Over the Fence". And this is why I returned to academia, becoming a Professor of Business Administration at the Berlin School of Economics and Law.Special Interest in: - Project Management- Change Management - Organizational Learning - Business Processes Management
