Why Matthias

20 years of brain research underpin my work today.

My scientific background shapes the questions I ask: Which assumption are we treating as fact? What has your attention? Which pattern returns when pressure rises?

We make these questions testable in your actual decision. We distinguish observation from interpretation, examine counterarguments and develop ways of working that you can test in your leadership practice.

My diploma thesis was completed at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig; I earned my doctorate at the University of Bremen.

An example of the work

What would change your decision?

Fictional scenario: A leadership team considers hiring another executive because approvals keep taking longer.

01 · Assumption

“We lack leadership capacity.”

An additional role is meant to accelerate decisions. The actual cause of the delays has not yet been tested.

02 · Counterperspective

“Perhaps decision rights are unclear.”

If the same approvals still move upwards, another layer may make the process even slower.

03 · Decision-relevant information

Where do decisions stall?

The team reviews the last ten approvals: who had to decide, what was missing and how long did the wait take?

AI can generate counterperspectives and structure observations. The responsible people judge whether they fit the situation and what follows from them.
