- ABOUT

Hey, this is me, Rike. I consult, write, teach and I am passionate about Emergence, Collaboration, Futures Literacy, Systems Change and how to deal well with Uncertainty and Complexity.

In my work I am all about how the new comes into the world: 

As Head of the Institut für Praktische Emergenz, I explore new ways to change living systems from the inside out. 

I help leaders from a wide range of industries, organizations and institutions to go off-script and support teams in working together towards transformation.

I teach at universities and colleges.  

 

As co-founder of NxF | navigate by fiction, I helped develop a process for collaborative future prototyping for organizations in economy and politics using science fiction.

 

I’m a Munich native, where I now live again with my patchwork family after circumnavigating the North Atlantic on a sailboat and getting seasick a lot. I hold a Master’s degree in Chinese and Japanese Studies and Language Philosophy. I have lived in Taiwan for a good while to deepen my knowledge of Mandarin and Daoism.

As a LECTURER I teach at universities and colleges about Uncertainty, Emergence, Complexity, Futures Literacy and Smart Cities.

The ability to navigate ambiguous and unfamiliar situations is the key to get diverse teams to not only perform but to excel. I support in fostering uncertainty tolerance and helping teams and organizations develop complexity awareness.
