Food for thoughts
Blog.
Drawing on over 30 years of professional experience navigating complexity at the intersection of leadership, integrity, and resilience, I offer strategic insights, sharp reflections, and actionable impulses. This blog does not concern itself with trends. It is about identifying what truly matters when the sea gets tougher, decisions become challenging and the stakes are high, and when silence is not an option. For leaders who value integrity, clarity and transparency over noise and impact over vague intention.
Remote work: frowned upon – imposed – valued risk
Risk frowned upon yesterday – today a forced measure – tomorrow a strategic success factor. Yes, this is remote work. Whether from the home office, think tank, co-working or the desert island. Many of us are now forced to work differently than before. Yes, we are isolated from our former live and behavior.
Partners in Crime in Times of Crisis
Incorrect communication can lead to crises. When we talked about crises last year, it was especially those caused by malicious intent. Social engineers, hackers, fraudsters, narcissists and other perpetrators. Today, all over the world, we are talking about a virus that is leading us into crisis. Covid-19.
Risk Corona – panic or strategic prudence?
It can go that fast. Suddenly the view of something is different than a few weeks ago. An issue that has now reached everyone in Switzerland at the latest: the danger of infection with the corona virus Covid-19. What does this risk mean? Is it really „only“ about the infection? Not at all!
Why you should become a taboo breaker for your safety!
Shall we become taboo breakers? One of my clients did. He broke the taboo. For the benefit of his client and their prevention. We became victims of a white collar crime. A great example of learning from delicate situations and passing on what we’ve learned.
Risk – a question of tolerance
One of the most frequently misused and misunderstood terms. Life is a risk. Entrepreneurship, business, politics, sustainability, sports – there is no area of our existence that does not involve one risk or another. Value-free.
Cyberspace: the motive as origin?
More meaningful and practical than trying to pigeonhole all criminals in cyberspace is to look at the DNA of perpetrators accentuated by their motives, to understand it and to deal with the findings individually. However, one possible motive alone does not make a white-collar criminal. We know that.
Happy Valentine – Ladies & Gentlemen, don’t shoot yourself offside!
A subject very close to my heart. „Leadership“ and „Commitment“ in the sense of: how do I lead myself in my professional environment, everyday situations and under pressure. Imagine the following situation
What about your security in the territory of “Cyber”?
When we talk about cyber security, this includes protection in the social structures of the Internet. It is about protecting people from the violation of physical or mental integrity. Accordingly, security is a broader view than crime. Cybersecurity encompasses more than cybercrime.
Present and Future: Cyberspace territory
The first steps towards the territory that we call cyberspace were the theories and findings of Lewis Mumford in 1934, an American sociologist who was deeply involved with the subject of „technology and civilization“.
Pitfalls In Ethics and Integrity
There are plenty of reasons that even organisations with great intention struggle with integrity issues but there are a few pitfalls which could be eliminated to start with.
Foster Corporate Integrity
There are many creative and successful elements which can be used to implement a powerful code of conduct.
Why integrity is about dreams
A practical way to anchor integrity as the roots of integrity goes back to the individual value system of each single person involved in the system we take into consideration.
Risk – Identification – a question of diversity, communication, and guts.
The risk identification process could be described as the art of understanding your business. Do you?
Unplanned Novel Risks
How you can train your capabilities of identifying novel risk – no matter whether you have to do it as an individual for your family and friends or as a professional for your own business or for the one you take care of?
How to manage the decreasing willingness to comply
Have you ever thought about what “crisis fatigue” could mean in the corporate world? Not only on individual level? What I still see is, the risk of having to many rules to comply with which are not effectively implemented.
Is compliance possible in crisis?
As a result of the current crisis, priorities have been redefined – into the so-called crisis mode of those responsible. Consciously or unconsciously. There is a strong suspicion that this happened unconsciously in many organisations, which increases the risk of misallocation.
The role of psychology in the territory of cyberspace
No matter what kind of excuses are found – the human factor remains the biggest security gap in the cyberspace – therefore it is our biggest success factor
The myth of «Code of Conduct» in the cyber territory
How do you behave when they enter the internet? Aka Cyber Space? Do you change your identity and above all your behaviour within seconds?
