Thomas Corver has professional backgrounds in Corporate Banking, Finance, Organisation, Strategy & Policy Decision making. Through assessing contingencies he helps decision makers with future-based assessments analyzing consequences and (longer term) transitions in socio-politico and economic domains and praxis. He has in-depth experience with scenario-to-strategy processes for organizations to improve strategic awareness in dynamic business contexts & global environments. From 2005 onwards, he advised private organizations and (public) governments to develop sustainable, no-regret strategies and policies. In that process new insights were applied from '2nd order' complexity sciences which include complex-adaptive systems (climates, oceans, eco diversity) and (assumed unpredictable) patterns in collective human behavior and identities. In this effort he cooperates with independent think tanks, innovative thinkers and academia. In New Economics he analyzed potential transition paths away from mainstream Neoclassical theory (as far that became out-of-date) towards more innovative and sustainable forms of governance and praxis. The latter also addresses Ordo Liberal theory and concepts based on societal values common in NW Europe.Academic studies:Doctorandus in Business & Government Economics at formerly The Netherlands School of Economics (NEH) now Erasmus University (honors 1978) / Loco Bachelor in Philosophy of Science & Western Philosophy - Erasmus University Rotterdam International Relations, The Johns Hopkins University / SAIS - Washington D.C.
