»Doing Futures« or Shaping Visions, Unlocking Potentials, Creating Cultural Significance
I.
Cultural Foresight
Cultural Foresight is that attitude that sees culture as guidance for the future. Culture is understood as a kind of first artificial intelligence that shapes our knowledge and actions. It is about truly assessing and understanding cultural influences and imprints.
How does culture change? How does culture change us?
While strategic foresight often sticks to market research, Cultural Foresight relies on a set of cultural studies and philosophically informed methods while remaining morally ambitious.
Cultural Foresight focuses on how brands and companies can create cultural significance, rather than just looking at market opportunities. How do companies become a place shaped by humanistic values?
The approach promotes culturally anchored growth strategies.
II.
Progressive Anticipation
Progressive anticipation is a method of foresight interested in truth.
It interprets future events or outcomes based on careful investigation and pattern recognition in vertical layers of cultural information. This not only enables better responses when needed but also the active shaping of a preferred future.
III.
Intellectual Partnership
I believe in the power of intellectual partnerships that go beyond traditional consulting relationships. My cooperation model is based on shared curiosity, methodological precision, and the common pursuit of understanding.
I stand for a new form of collaboration—one that grows not from control, but from connection.
IV.
Great, Another Power Does It
For me, team autonomy means anchoring oneself in a shared sense. It's about belonging through purpose—not dependency through structure.
By active collaboration, I mean successful division of labor and the avoidance of closed silos. We need more integration into lively spaces that learn, grow, and act together.
V.
Leadership
Leadership arises where people self-organize—not where they are managed.
For me, true success is not measured by isolated peak performances but by holistic fitness; by the ability to mutually inspire each other flexibly, robustly, and meaningfully. Transparency is not about control, but the free flow of knowledge—it nurtures intelligence, not the preservation of power.
VI.
Market
In my view, a market-oriented organization does not need rigid guidelines, but rather goals that can be conceived in relation to the environment. Income should not be tied to external incentives, but rather to genuine participation. Greetings from chief physician contracts based on case numbers.
VII.
Thinking as a Radical Act
Presence of mind means to me being prepared – in the sense of being present. I work according to the rhythm of tasks, not the ticking of fiscal years. Decisions do not arise from formalities, but from mastery and consistency.
VIII.
Contentment
I use resources with discretion – not to demonstrate status. And when it comes to coordination, I rely on the dynamism of value creation (including intangible), not on rigid allocation.

Moral Realism
Pessimism → Realism
Pessimism often arises from an unrealistic constructivism. We construct so-called fallacies ("errors") in our minds based on the information surrounding us, external assumptions, and reductionist situations. This is anything but constructive. These narratives, which ritualize into beliefs, are definitely not facts, and they affect us. They create cognitive dissonance, and we soon begin to see things more pessimistically. It helps to acknowledge the complexity of our reality and take the effort to pursue it. It gets tricky when fictional thoughts are also counted as reality. Fiction is real, but not necessarily true.
Relativism → Objectivism
Quite evidently, we regularly engage in relativistic reasoning in our daily discussions and debates by attempting to soften moral positions through comparisons or contextualizations, or even by staging a moral spectacle. The phenomenon of 'whataboutism' is omnipresent in our communication culture and is manifested in the constant tendency to point out other grievances instead of addressing the actual issue at hand. There is no rational or philosophically defensible reason to deny or relativize objectively moral facts, merely to justify a particular action or position.
Nihilism → Universalism
People owe each other a great deal simply because we are human. The fundamental values, dignity, and mutual recognition as moral beings make us who we are. This responsibility towards each other is deeply rooted in our humanity and cannot simply be ignored or abandoned. Moral nihilism creates a fatalism that we cannot afford, as it undermines the foundations of our communal coexistence and our ethical obligations. Therefore, I practice a humanistic universalism and say ...
