Welcome

My name is Karin Maria Schertler. I am an expert on large scale transformation in the VUCA age.

My ambition: Future-proof societies and organisations.

My goal: Excellent value creation for the good of all.

The “leitmotif” of my extensive professional expertise: I operate between the poles of technology, organisations and the human being. (for more details see LinkedIn). I am a Transformation Architect and a Chief Transformation Agent likewise. Or to put it differently: I‘m the BRAIN and the HEART of large scale transformation successes.

I publish my observations, views and research results in the industry and commercial press as well as in this blog.
