ZDF heute Relaunch
Design Management
Assignment: The ZDF wants to take an important step in direction of convergence of media in the 21st century with the new news studio. To do so, the responsible executives wanted to get insight from outside and establish a suitable project organization. Therefore, the ZDF engaged Ruedi Alexander Müller-Beyeler as interim manager for three years in the role of design moderator and project manager.

Approach: Müller-Beyeler sets up the project as an iterative design process. Internal and external experts of the most different crafts and functions attempt to answer the question ranging from the structure of the brand family ZDF heute, to the conceptional questions of the design of news, of technology, and of effects on the collaboration of editorial staff and image design television staff. With very basic conceptual design approaches - for example the suppression of statics in the virtuality and the equalization of picture and text in the moderation - substantial change processes were pushed and implemented at ZDF. As a result, the collaboration  between editorial staff and graphic as well as television and online editorial staff had to be redefined and put in practice.

Result: With its new broadcasting format which went live on 17th of July 2009, ZDF heute and ZDF heute journal gave a strong signal in which direction news can evolve within a convergent media world.

Strategic Context
Strategy Innovation
Assignment: Successful entrepreneurs and boards translate their ideas and business concepts in strategic goals through interactions with their management and their employees. In this context different questions are important: Which strategic position does the company require to be successfully positioned for future competition? Which value creation is requested by the clients and paid for? Which processes and competencies are necessary, and what is the company able to achieve today?

Approach: Often concepts do not match with capabilities. Here the specification of the strategic targets will enable a good match. It is necessary to clarify how to assess and measure the successful implementation of the strategic goals. Moreover the strategic goals must not only be defined but agreed upon with management and employees, understandably presented and lived day-to-day.

We call this core entrepreneurial references to which the entrepreneurs together with the important decision makers of the company agree and which they reference and use as an orientation basis.

Approach: The entrepreneurial references are unique for every company. They determine what success means for the company, what is understood as innovation, how the relevance of particular topics and issues are determined, or which values are not negotiable.

Family Business
Strategy Innovation
Identity is an important strategic factor for a company; at the same time identity is not tangible. The lecture opens four perspectives on the topic: identity makes a difference. Identity is the basic coordinate system on which important decisions and actions can be orientated under uncertainty. Entrepreneurs continuously work on the creation and development of an entrepreneurial identity. In this context the family is a challenge and a resource at the same time.

Innovation Design
Strategy Design
The short speech argues in two steps: Designing for change and innovation is confronted with various challenges, because change and innovation are inherently uncertain; change and innovation are focussing on the world as it is,but on the world as it could be. However, our future cannot be known, but it has to be designed. Designing for change and innovation must focus on the creation of new possibilities and the definition of a coordinate system to evaluate multiple alternatives. This allows to creatively handle unexpected events and new situations and to translate them into entrepreneurial opportunities.

Balkanology
Exhibition Design
Assignment: Exhibition architecture and exhibition graphics on new architecture and urbane phenomena in South East Europe.

Approach: With the breakdown of the state control a private building boom of immense dimensions, has begun in South East Europe which persists until today and in which architects and planners do not play a central role. The exhibition shows the backgrounds and the effects, which such an unregulated, informal urbanism has for the whole region and how it will affect Central Europe. In three sections current architectural projects, phenomena of the turbo urbanism and initiatives are shown which counteract this development. The exhibition architecture uses the easiest materials that are aesthetically up-to-date and are applied in a modern way.

Result: The exhibition convinced the public and the experts and found a wide echo in the international press. Acquisitions are planned for 2009 in Stockholm, Vienna, Novi Sad and Tirana.

Succession Process
Strategy Innovation
Assignment: Entrepreneurial succession is an important and difficult topic in many companies: How to transform a successful entrepreneurial past into an independent, new entrepreneurial future?

Approach: We accompany and support entrepreneurs in this process. Beside the discussion of entrepreneurial, strategic, financial, and organizational topics one central finding is: In all areas of life there are phases of creation, of development and of completion. In most cases a succession process will only succeed when - during that process - a successful entrepreneurial generation can focus on new zones of creation and development, which are not simply a substitute to their current activities, but a real new challenge.

Instant Urbanism
Exhibition Design
Assignment: Exhibition architecture and exhibition graphics on contemporary architectural and urban projects, which move in the tradition of the Situationist International.

Approach: In Paris of the post-war period an artistically urbanism movement developed which propagated new methods of the acquisition of urbane living space by the single inhabitant. On the basis of 37 projects and initiatives the exhibition shows to what extent these methods are nowadays still relevant and applied. According to the town utopias of the 60s a space framework was developed from which small cubes with the project representations hang. In the entrance area semi-transparent materials with historical citations hang from the ceiling, which permit a multi-layered legibility and the perception of connections and produce the historical context of the displayed projects. The sensuous, quiet room atmosphere prepares the visitor for the main exhibition.

Result: Large number of visitors and positive reactions contributed to the acquisition of the exhibition by the Dänischen Architekturzentrum in Kopenhagen, the Glaspalais Herleen and the EACC in Castéllon, together with the exhibition »As Found«.

As Found
Exhibition Design
Assignment: Exhibition architecture and exhibition graphics on urbane reanimation and the architecture of the minimum intervention with encountered materials and circumstances.

Approach: 15 projects, distinguished by a lasting architectural practice and a special association with encountered situations, are united in an exhibition designed as a whole. The central statement is that especially architectural interventions into border areas, shaped by limited budgets and default of location, can make distinctive, independent design statements which are thought through in every detail. The exhibition supports this with a design, which combines packaging boxes and dispatch palettes and a mural frieze from collaged pictures of the works in the urbane context, thereby creating an impressive space.

Result: The exhibition could convince the public and the experts and was taken over together with the exhibition "Instant Urbanism" from the Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo de Castellón.

Entrepreneurial Capabilities
Strategy Realization
Assignment: Strategic discussions mostly focus on the present and on the past, as it is difficult to discuss the future. Strategic discussions mostly focus on the "what" and the "how". However, it is not discussed enough "who" should do what specifically and with which resources. This is of particular importance when the matter is to evaluate and to strengthen the experiences and competences of managers and employees with a look into the future.

Approach: Accordingly, the development of the entrepreneurial potentials and competences, which a company and its important decision makers need in the future to be and remain successful, is absolutely centrally. Therefore a thinking and acting in terms of »as well as...« is important, not primarily focusing on what is, but asking what could be.

Intelligent Companies
Strategy Innovation
The current research in the areas of artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences examines design principles for the construction of intelligent, artificial  and natural systems. In this connection, intelligence means the ability of a system to operate successfully in an uncertain and ambiguous environment and to deal with new and unexpected situations routinely. If one assumes the premise that companies are intelligent, artificial systems, the question comes up accordingly: How do design principles for the creation of intelligent companies look?

Which methods, perspectives and processes does the company work with on important strategic challenges, decisions, opportunities and issues?

Approach: A reflection of the own entrepreneurial activities is only possible if one succeeds to write, to edit, to simulate and to tell the history, the development and the future of the own company as a business case.

Kunsthalle Wien Sculpture
Exhibition Design
Assignment: Exhibition architecture for the exhibition about the precarious, fragile and funny in the contemporary sculpture.

Approach: The exhibition shows artworks of contemporary sculpture characterized by their special association with realism. Though the chosen artworks affirm the realism, they question at the same time however, its conclusiveness. They challenge the reality with healthy skepticism and show it in a new context: fragmentarily, undeterminable, confusing and determined by chance. Accordingly, the exhibition architecture moves on a subtle border of the discernible. With a minimum intervention like the change of the surface structure covering the floor, zonings and groups, paths and wrong tracks are arising. The exhibition architecture becomes part of the displayed artworks and organizes them at the same time.

Identity / Strategy Map
Strategy Design
Assignment: Entrepreneurial discussions are often intuitive and visual, for that design can create pictures and forms. Strategic thoughts are mostly analytical and conceptual, for that different methods and procedures exist. Both are important if a new idea should be translated successfully into an entrepreneurial initiative.

Approach: A connection of analytical-conceptual and intuitive-visual qualities of a business strategy or a company identity is successful if during development design strategies are pursued in which strategic ideas can be analyzed visually and creative arguments can be conceptually reflected. This is what we call: Strategy design. We currently work on this relevant theme in development projects for clients and in research.

With this artistic experiment we wanted to explore how communication and cooperation of experts can be influenced through breaks in space, time and media and to which extent creative processes can be advanced thereby.

The setting is a black room, various communication media, a time structure with defined communication modes and a blog, which directly comments and documents.

The experiment was carried out four times in different contexts: once with scientists, artists and philosophers; once with the employees of a company; once with an advanced education class of the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Zürich, today ZHdK), and once as a provocative art intervention together with the artist team Com&Com in the cabaret Voltaire in Zurich.
