CONCEPTION
FACILITATION
Hi, I’m Carsten, an arts and media manager and facilitator. I help cultural institutions and public sector organizations navigate digital transformation and New Work – from strategy to concrete projects.
With an interdisciplinary background in the arts and sciences and more than 15 years of experience as an arts and media manager specializing in music and the intersection between art, culture and digitalization, I bring strategic thinking and creative problem solving to complex collaboration processes at the interface of culture, the public sector and digital transformation.
I create concepts, facilitate groups, manage projects, bring people together and act as an intermediary between artists, audiences, politics and funders. Working for state institutions as well as international companies like Google, I have gained broad experience in the creation and implementation of complex (digital) collaboration projects while balancing the interests of diverse stakeholders.
Currently I support and advise organizations in arts management, the design of digital products and in the areas of team development, communication, New Work, transformation and leadership. I’m a certified New Work Facilitator, a Workshop/Design Sprint Facilitator and give leadership seminars.
