I encountered a statement some time ago that has stayed with me:

"You know, if it weren't for you and our collaboration, I probably would have left the company."

Lots of different and exciting things. The focus is always on people, their decisions, their behaviour or the communication style. I enjoy one of my tasks particularly, which is why I answer the question of what I actually do as follows:

It's striking what artificial intelligence can do. At the same time, it is reassuring that its capabilities still have limits. I am pleased to share a small experiment with you.

Our brain and our stomach work so well together. And as long as intuition controls our behaviour and our decisions correctly, we can be grateful for this complex teamwork. However, if you only have an indefinable gut feeling…

Every person, every team, and every company has goals, aspirations, and targets. I believe that intangible business goals have the innate ability to excite both leadership and employees alike; especially within for-profit organizations.
