Our global challenge isn’t rebuilding trust —it’s removing distrust.
Imagine an eagle tied to a flock: To get it to fly, will you catapult it into the air, or untie it? Will both work? Which is easier? When we remove the heavy burden of distrust, our trusting nature reveals itself. The status quo shifts and humanity blossoms. We open up to the future. If we miss out on trust, we are bound to be disrupted.

Talking Points
A-I Don't Trust You
We are in love with AI and digital: It's led us to instant gratification of whatever we wish for. This gives us a paradox: Why is it so hard to digitally transform when we clearly want a digital future?A-I Don't Trust You
This programme highlights the problem and promise of trust issues in AI, data and digital transformation.
- Underestimation of irrational intention <> action gaps
- Leaving human-centricity out of the change equation
- Failure to unite and resolve universal pain points
- Hyper-rationality triggering resistance and friction
Philipp offers tangible and practical tools for pruning the slack and clearing obstacles to our digital future.
Trust as One, Get It Done
People are our greatest asset. We are talking people and purpose centricity, but our talent is walking. We can't unite across generations. Culture, productivity and brand suffers. Why isn't work working anymore?Trust as One, Get It Done
This programme raises the volume on what is amiss in workplace trust to untangle our future of work.
- Failure to connect purpose to individual contributions
- Falling into US vs THEM thinking - sabotaging oneness
- Lack of effective cross-generational collab/comms
- Fear of disorder from removing legacy structures
Philipp outlines how to restore trust in we-spirit and resolve people, purpose and productivity concerns.
E-S-Gosh this Isn't Easy
We know this is our planet, that we all have a stake in it and that we need to change our ways. Yet we really struggle to free ourselves of financial objectives that focus us on the short-term. Why can't we escape?E-S-Gosh this Isn't Easy
This programme tackles the trust gaps between ESG vision and corporate governance in a digital world.
- Lack of agency to shift governance to digital agility
- Paralysing complexity from excessive risk aversion
- Absence of courageous leadership role-models
- Tendency to force - fit reality into corporate worldview
Philipp reveals strategies for C-Level leaders to keep stakeholders and us happy and perform consciously.
