Research to Impact
How do executives make good decisions? When do they succeed, and when do they fail? And how can organizations design incentives and controls that bring out the best decisions? I want the answers to reach the people who decide, not only the people who read journals.
For boards and finance leaders
Whom you appoint and how you judge their work shapes every decision that follows. I show boards and finance leaders where personality and judgment bias creep in, and how pay, evaluation and oversight can keep them in check.
For small and mid-sized firms
Firms already pay for carbon in energy, materials and transport, yet few measure it. I show managers how to find the numbers in their own accounting and use them in planning, pricing and investment.
I write where practitioners read: in Strategic Finance, Controlling and Die Wirtschaftsprüfung, and for a wider audience in the LSE Business Review.
For the construction sector, Patrick Leistner and I turned a survey of 601 firms into a free benchmark report that managing directors can put to work right away. MDR Wissen reported on it.
At the Duale Hochschule Sachsen in Glauchau, students who already work in firms learn from me how to steer with the carbon price, and they take it straight back to their employers.
Bring it to me. I present findings to management teams and associations, run workshops and set up joint projects in which we answer your question with data.
