My intention is to create a setting in which people can recognise each other and develop in mutuality.
A space that provides people with the freedom and security to express themselves in their own respective personal languages – to give form to what really touches them.
How well a team works together depends largely on a culture of good communication and trust.
Independent of the specialist area, industry or type of organization involved, what ultimately matters is how people interact with each other, develop ideas, resolve differences, and overcome professional boundaries.
Based on my experience in design research, I pay particular attention to the exchange of critical knowledge in the collaborative work process. How a team uses tools, working materials and (graphic) media in the collaboration process has proven to be particularly insightful.
I would be pleased to support you and your team in critical phases and provide you with my analytical expertise.
Good communication starts at the interpersonal level – even when it is primarily about content.
In academic exchange as well as between industry and research, ways of thinking and communicative styles are an additional challenge. The willingness to communicate considerately is an important prerequisite. Nevertheless, this is often not sufficient to credibly overcome disciplinary boundaries.
An independent moderator can make a decisive contribution to productive collaboration.
Mediation is a structured process for conflict resolution and consensus-building in which the participants develop a solution for the future on their own responsibility and by mutual agreement. One or more mediators structure and accompany the process.
Mediation follows a systemic approach: It places emphasis on the independence, autonomy and conflict resolution skills of all parties involved. Moreover, it assumes that a mutual alignment of different perspectives has a productive effect on finding a solution.
Alongside my main focus in corporate and research contexts, my mediation work concentrates on the areas of family, partnership, family businesses and succession counselling.
