Physicist, Strategic Advisor
1. Why view technology through a systems lens in the polycrisis?
Technological breakthroughs have often helped mitigate the consequences of system-level problems created by humanity. However, the polycrisis does not stem from technology alone, but from interconnected economic and natural processes that have now reached a level of social awareness and are shaping reality with growing force. Digital innovations can be useful tools, but without aligning them to the broader systemic context, they risk becoming instruments of comforting illusion rather than meaningful adaptation.
2. How should leaders act amid growing uncertainty?
Leaders are not only decision-makers. We provide the interpretive framework for our organisations: which scenarios to consider, what to prioritise, and what we deem as viable futures. In the age of the polycrisis, reacting well is no longer enough. Proactive action and a deeper understanding of interconnected systems become essential. During my MBA studies I learned that a primary responsibility of leadership is to create room for decision and action. I still believe this is crucial today if we want to preserve optionality for our shared future.
3. What makes CASSee different from traditional consultancy?
Most consultancy promises greater efficiency. CASSee, in contrast, develops awareness and adaptive capacity. As a physicist, it matters to me that our recommendations hold both scientific integrity and human relevance. CASSee does not impose solutions on organisations. It guides them into a space where they can recognise their own limits and opportunities and change direction if they are ready to do so.
