I am Partner in the Düsseldorf office of PwC. As a leading expert in Complexity Management, I bring more than 29 years of experience to this topic.
When variety and dynamics come together, complexity arises. This complexity must be mastered. Mastering means focusing on product (incl. service systems), the resulting process and organizational complexity. This is not simply a matter of cleaning up and reducing the variety, but much more a matter of early planning and mastery. The potentials are much higher, when planning and mastering complexity is the focus.
Therefore, sustainable production has the greatest potential when a function- and value-enhancing circular economy is installed. This transformation requires paradigm shifts in product modularization and technology planning. Circular offerings require new control loops and advanced methods.

I have been supporting my clients in different industries e.g., automotive, automotive supplier, industrial goods, equipment industry, consumer durables and household appliance industry in implementing a Complexity Management System.

As a Managing Director in the Lean Enterprise Institut and the Lean Management Institut, I have supported my clients for more than 10 years in the introduction of Lean Management (Lean Production, Lean Administration, Lean Innovation) in strategic alignment and operational implementation.
