Thinkers360 recognized me as Top10 Global Thought Leader in Digital Transformation. In the last two decades, I had the privilege to support many global players on their way into the digital age. While I have published several books about technology, trends, and the shift in our media landscape, Catch-42: A novel about our future is my first novel—and a book I wanted to write for a long time. After selling my digital marketing agency to one of the world's leading IT services providers, I now have time for this type of passion project. ...more

How to address challenge A?
How to creatively use the latest technology B—often in an environment with
challenge C?
How can I help my colleagues with problem D? And so on.

Usually, everything needed to happen asap. I learned that I could find inspiration pretty much everywhere—often at places or opportunities you wouldn't imagine.

Whenever it hits me, so I don’t lose it, I try to write the inspiration down and use it appropriately. (less)
