... What I'm having the privileg of doing right know: bringing a 75 year old publishing company into the digital future - being recognized as showcase for change but knowing, it has just begun!

It is not popular with TED, but I have the idea to create a TED BUSINESS for open minded business leaders to get inspired, share and learn about models to change the corporate world and it's rules into something more meaningful and balanced for a modern world an society - and to become a more vital part of finding answers to todays important challenges in the global society.

Business Ethics, Coprorate Responsibility, Digital transition, Leadership, Oragnizational Development, Systems Thinking

When I came back from my first TED my organisation got a little stressed out, because I was so full of ideas, questions and challenged their thinking, that they really wondered, what was going on. However, today watching TED talks and sharing them amongts the whole company has become a pattern.

Strategic and Out of the Box thinking, energizing organisations and creating momentum
