ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Tanja, and I'm a Futurist. Saying that most people believe that I have a crystal ball or can predict the future. However, that has little to do with what a Futurist actually does. As futurists, we help organizations explore diverse and alternative futures. In doing so, we not only broaden their horizons but, at the same time, consider what future these organizations want to shape actively.

How does one become a Futurist? First and foremost, you have to be curious by nature. I've always been interested in exploring things I don't understand. As a trained engineer, physics and electrical engineering gave me the structure to understand the world scientifically. However, there is much more to it than that. Because my second passion is dancing, I foster creativity through singing, dancing, and laughing.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT ME

  • Tanja is a knowledgeable futurist, a skilled foresighter and an excellent problem solver. She worked with us in two projects where she did a brilliant job designing and managing creative engagement platforms and foresight processes and delivering high quality products. She is easy to work with, positive, reliable, a great project manager and a valuable contributor to every aspect of the work. I highly recommend her.

    Nikos Kastrinos, Policy Officer, European Commission

  • Tanja is a critical thinker unafraid to speak her mind. You will always learn something new from Tanja. She is driven and structured, while demonstrating creativity as well. Interpersonally, it's always a joy to touch base with her.

    Katelyn Anderson, Product Manager at TIER Mobility

  • Tanja is very open-minded and has a strong ability to solve problems. Impressive way of positive thinking but being realistic. Was a pleasure to work together with her!

    Christoph Peitz, Product Development, Sales, Strategy, General Management

  • Tanja has contributed to our event with interesting insights about the potential of the creative industries for the future of Europe. Her perspective as a futurist brought an important dimension to our discussion!

    Charline Munzer, Creative Impact Research Centre Europe

  • I've had the pleasure of working with Tanja on various projects over the past 10 years, and every engagement illustrates why she is one of my favorite foresight professionals. From hosting a multi-day foresight and futures thinking training for executives and leaders (on a boat sailing up and down the Berlin River!), to building a global network of foresight practitioners as a tool for democratizing futures thinking among individuals and companies, to advising corporate leaders on trend scouting and scenario building for improved strategy and innovation, Tanja is a multi-layered, multi-skilled, and multi-talented futurist - academically-trained and practically-honed - that represents the best of the field. As someone who has worked in foresight and futures thinking with all industries over the past 25 years, I'm happy to say that Tanja is my "go-to" for collaboration when we need to expand the brain and brawn of our team at TFSX. Connecting with her, networking with her, working with her, and hiring her will be one of the best decisions you ever make!
