Letting go would be my first reflex. See the whole thing spiritually and get back to business. But it's not that simple. For more than thirty years I've built or advised companies. International trade, software development, marketing, strategy. One thing always led to the next. I kept learning more. How organizations and markets work. But also why many people at some point didn't want to play along anymore.

Because at some point the patterns behind it all become painfully obvious to all of us. How power structures develop in companies and markets that nobody can control anymore. How technologies change and make our access to knowledge manipulable, even though they promise the opposite. The questions don't get fewer. But we're running out of answers. Knowledge helps us understand. But what does knowledge mean when more and more of it is artificially created.

The path to insight and answers is a personal one. Mine is the exchange with people and writing. It's been that way since school and university. I understood better when I explained things to others. And I learned by writing everything down. On index cards, into the laptop, preferably multiple times. I only really became aware of this mechanism later, but it's all the more important to me today. Complex topics become tangible, for me and for others. As an advisor, in sparring, as a mentor. This site is the result.
