Helmut Schmidt University/University of the Federal Armed Forces, Consultant at Civitalis (Hamburg)
Since summer 2022, I support Hamburg in the planning and implementation phase of the action plan at OGP Local. Especially in the design of participatory rooms and dialogue formats with different audiences, I can benefit from my long-standing experience in community building work in Northern Ireland. In my current positions as a senior consultant in Berlin and as a research associate at Helmut Schmidt University - University of the Federal Armed Forces in Hamburg, I am primarily focusing on the topics of digitality and datafication in the public sector, data-driven innovations, and the impact of artificial intelligence on multiple sectors, as well as transformation processes in public institutions and the development of open government.
Until 2022, I was head of the research group Data-Driven Business Model Innovations at the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society in Berlin. Transfer and dialog were an important part of my work there as well.
