I work with executive teams at offsites and leadership events – through keynotes, workshops, and design labs that turn uncertainty into direction.
Being human is more valuable than ever.
Most leadership teams I work with already know what they’re facing. They don’t need more data about the future – they need a way to make it feel real enough, concrete enough, and close enough to start moving toward it today.
That’s the difference between a futurist and a possibilist. Futurists describe what might happen. I help organisations decide what to build.
From ›what if‹ to ›what now.‹ That’s the shift I’m here to make.

Happy Company. Moon Design. A school magazine that won second best in Germany. Coca-Cola’s first East German event. None of it was sophisticated. All of it was the same pattern: imagine something new, bring people together, make it happen.
From there: building one of the first in-house service design capabilities at Aegis, establishing the customer experience practice at Veryday – including Experio Lab, embedded into the Swedish county council system and scaled. Then McKinsey, where I built their global immersive design lab and founded WARP: speculative design and foresight for boards making decisions from the future back.
Along the way: IKEA, LEGO, Ericsson, Scania, Disney, Adidas – and organisations across financial services, energy, retail, and healthcare.

We need to run a marathon in sprints – but establishing that in a larger organisation is extremely difficult.
Each session is available as a keynote, full-day or half-day design lab, or virtual workshop. Tailored to your audience and context – always hands-on, never just a presentation. Fees available on request.
How do you lead confidently when the future feels unstable? This keynote gives leadership teams a practical way to make long-term strategic decisions from the future back – turning uncertainty into a design challenge rather than a threat.
Outcome: Teams leave with a shared direction and the confidence to act
AI is rewriting the rules of work faster than most organisations can process. This session shows how leaders can turn uncertainty into momentum – connecting service design, systems thinking, and AI to move from reactive adaptation to proactive reinvention.
Outcome: Clarity on where human potential and AI capability meet
The organisations that shape the future are the ones that bring people into the thinking. Cocreation – done right – isn’t a workshop technique. It’s a conviction about where good ideas come from and how lasting change actually happens.
Outcome: A shared language and method for innovation from the inside

»Stefan has a rare quality: he makes the future feel like something you’ve already decided to build together. Our leadership team left the offsite with more alignment than we’d achieved in two years of strategy work.«
