PROF. HERMANN W. KLÖCKNER DESIGNING INNOVATION
How does the 'new' come into existence? Let us appreciate it: we live in a world that is driven by constant change. It's in the very definition of life: the complex interplay of resources and challenges.
Evolution has led to a mind blowing abundance of processes doing exactly that: Creating resilience through change! Applying the principles of design thinking and intense user-research, I love to take design innovation to the next level. How can we embrace change to drive desirable futures? In my work, this is what I aim for: researching, analysing, proposing, prototyping and teaching new processes and systems in order to drive change towards desirable futures. Using the wisdom of nature, a vivid network of ambitious people, that I have the fortune to collaborate with and a great deal of digital high-tech, I aspire to be a an empowering consultant, an inspiring professor and a loving father!

Consulting and Prototyping My consulting activities are strongly associated with CAVORIT Consulting, a Berlin-based start up innovating human aspects of Data Science. It does so by facilitating a combination of big data visualization/interaction, business psychology and strategic consulting. CAVORIT hosts both research and commercial projects. Clients range from international companies like Google, Rolls-Royce and SAP to Berlin start-ups and NGOs. CAVORIT's passion is to empower user-centric innovation.
Academic Endeavours My academic activities are based at HS ANHALT, located in the monumental heritage BAUHAUS-Building in Dessau, next to Berlin/Leipzig. I research and teach interaction design, including the fields User Experience, Data Visualization, Parametric Design and Artificial Intelligence. Our philosophy is based on Walter Gropius holistic model, which we adapted to address 21th century challenges. We strive to further develop Dessau's role as a disruptive design school.
