The brains behind our ideas
The set-up of our team of partners reflects our style of working: a widest range of interests (“themes”), with completely different competencies (“methods”) formed into a product or project which as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts – and above all is getting results for our clients.
Rolf Fink, our researcher and developer (Chairman of the Board)
“My studies in Economics, Law, Psychology, and Pedagogy at the university were my third or fourth step in answering the basic question: “Can learning really be fun?” As head of personnel- and management development of IBM Switzerland and HR director of the IBM Research Lab , Zurich (Rüschlikon) this voyage continued. Now, my partners put the bar even higher: not only “fun”, but even “passion”! All right, the voyage continues…”
Thomas Kis, our genius of new combinations (Partner)
“Even while studying Economics at the university of Zurich, there is another topic that gets me excited: how can totally “unrelated” elements and things – as they seem – be combined in a novel way, so as to accelerate learning processes and make them more effective – while being great fun. My models are children: They like to play exciting games – and don’t even seem to notice how and what they learn.”
Sandro Pfister, our shaper (Partner)
“I am fascinated by the possibilities to create new learning platforms with state-of-the-art technologies. But technologies alone don’t do it. That I learned in my studies at the technical college in Rapperswil. “Technologies plus” is the concept that stirs my passion! Technologies plus heart, plus stories, plus play and playfulness, plus real value add in economic terms. There is one “plus” missing here that to me is the most demanding: turning ideas into concrete realities. Some find this painful and boring, for me it is the part in a project that thrills me most.”
Heinz A. Stieger, our dreamer (Partner)
„Calling myself the dreamer was not my idea. But perhaps this is what I am, despite my professional background: MBA, Chief Financial Officer of the Zurich airport, Consultant, Professor at Swiss colleges (Fachhochschulen)… Dreaming up moving stories, weave them into the subject-matters of learning and then producing movies with real people, using a vast variety of media and methods… and all this for real companies – for me, this is a dream having come true.”
