Fields & Formats

What we work on — and how we make it work.

My work combines two perspectives: extensive experience in innovation, growth, investment, and new business situations, and a structured approach to negotiation as an organizational capability.

The common distinction between internal alignment and external negotiation is often misleading. Negotiation success is shaped by both: external processes with counterparties and internal processes where priorities, risks, incentives, and decision criteria need to be aligned across stakeholders.

The portfolio therefore combines domain experience with Negotiation Architecture — supported by focused human and AI methods — to help organizations navigate complexity and improve execution.

Where I Help

Critical Negotiations

Critical Negotiations

When execution depends on alignment

Many organizations know what they want to achieve. The challenge is aligning stakeholders with different interests, responsibilities, risks, and success criteria.

I support critical situations where outcomes depend on negotiation, alignment, and decision-making rather than technical expertise alone. This includes multi-party negotiations, strategic partnerships, investment decisions, escalation situations, and complex stakeholder environments.

The objective is not simply agreement. It is creating sufficient alignment for decisions to be made, commitments to be honored, and execution to move forward.

Negotiation Architecture

Negotiation Architecture

From individual expertise to organizational capability

Negotiation depends on individual judgment and experience, but complex negotiations also require organizations to reason collectively across distributed information, interests, and responsibilities.

I help organizations develop Negotiation Architecture: practical methods, shared foundations, governance, negotiation modules, and AI-supported approaches that enable people and AI to work from a shared basis while organizational judgment and accountability remain with people.

Outcome: Better collective reasoning, more consistent preparation, and less dependence on individual experience or isolated AI conversations.

Uncertainty and Change

Uncertainty and Change

Experience in environments without a blueprint

I bring extensive experience from innovation, growth, investment, commercialization, and new business environments where uncertainty is high and established playbooks are limited.

These situations require not only technical and commercial judgment, but also the ability to align stakeholders, create commitment, and move decisions forward.

I help organizations structure these challenges, improve decision quality, and create the conditions for successful execution.

How I Work

Project Advisory

Project Advisory

Hands-on support for critical situations

For complex negotiations or innovation projects where stakes, uncertainty, or time pressure are high. I work directly with the team to structure the situation, stabilize decisions, prepare the next steps, and improve execution.

Outcome: Immediate impact in a live situation, with reusable learning beyond the individual case.

Design

Design

Design the approach before execution starts

For organizations seeking to improve how they approach negotiations, decisions, or situations under uncertainty. We analyze the current approach, clarify objectives and requirements, and identify gaps and opportunities in methods, decision logic, workflows, responsibilities, and support.

Outcome: A robust design that improves alignment, supports execution, and provides a practical basis for future situations.

Implementation

Implementation

Turn design into practical ways of working

I help translate the defined approach into practical ways of working: human-facing methods and modules, shared information and reasoning processes, and AI-supported workflows. Depending on the situation, implementation can focus on human workflows, AI support, or their combination.

Outcome: Practical methods and workflows teams can apply consistently — faster, better, and with clearer accountability.

Embedding

Embedding

Make new ways of working sustainable

I support teams as new approaches move from implementation into regular organizational practice. This includes guided application, knowledge transfer, integration into existing processes, and support as teams build the experience needed to work independently.

Outcome: New ways of working that become part of organizational practice and can be applied and developed without continued external support.

Collaboration

I collaborate closely with C-TO-BE. Together, we support organizations in building negotiation and decision-making capabilities that combine human skills, structured methods, and responsible use of AI. The partnership connects hands-on leadership experience with proven frameworks and learning formats, enabling sustainable capability development beyond individual interventions.
