Aikido
Aikido makes it possible to maintain circumspection under pressure, understand dynamics and give them a different direction through one’s own action.
Orientation.
Responsibility.
Impact.
Orientation in the Age of AI
When information is no longer enough
When information is no longer enough, human judgment becomes decisive. The more information is available, the more important it becomes to recognize what is appropriate in a concrete situation.
AI can accelerate analysis, generate options and prepare decisions. Yet it does not replace human judgment: the ability to maintain perspective in complexity, distinguish what matters from what does not, and act from that understanding.
I work with people who carry responsibility or face decisions with far-reaching consequences — helping them maintain orientation, inhabit their role with clarity and act effectively.
Get in touchA clear direction is not apparent
Many situations do not fail because there is too little knowledge.
Often, several plausible options are on the table. More analysis does not automatically create more clarity. What matters is the vantage point from which the situation is seen — and whether an action can emerge from it that holds.
This is where my work begins. It creates a space in which perception is sharpened, perspectives can shift and decision variants become concretely experienceable.
My work does not begin with a programme.
It begins with a situation in which something is at stake.
I operate as a sparring partner when things become complex: when decisions are not clear-cut, when different interests collide or when the next step that will hold is not immediately visible.
The questions at stake are never purely technical. They always touch one’s own role, responsibility and stance toward the situation: How do I relate to this? What needs to emerge in the end? Where is direction required — and where is the capacity needed to meet a situation without forcing an outcome too early?
To clarify such questions, analysis and conversation alone are often not enough. Experience-based spaces can help us perceive a situation from a new perspective — and act differently from there.

What becomes decisive is the perspective from which a situation is seen — and whether an action can emerge from it that holds.

AI is a reality entering more and more areas of life and work. There is little doubt that we will increasingly work with AI systems as counterparts, tools or “colleagues”.
Precisely for that reason, what constitutes human judgment remains decisive: the ability to understand people, perceive situations in their living dynamics and act appropriately.
Human nature is not digital. It is analogue, embodied, relational and dependent on resonance.
Chinese philosophy is therefore an important point of reference in my work. Few traditions have engaged so deeply with how human beings move within nature — not against it, but in connection with it.
This is not about romanticising nature. It is about a principle of functioning coexistence: perceiving what a situation calls for, and acting in a way that does not work against the living dynamics of things.
Calligraphy
Calligraphy trains the ability to let an image one sees pass through one’s own body and reappear with precision, rhythm and bodily guidance.
Clay and loam
Working with malleable materials reawakens the sense for the organic and the natural: for what grows, takes form and emerges analogically — as distinct from mechanistic or digital logics.
If you recognise yourself here, I would be glad to have a conversation.
