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 radical 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, AI, 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 last but not least

Academic Endeavours My academic activities are based at HS ANHALT, located in the monumental heritage BAUHAUS-Building in Dessau, next to Berlin. I research and teach interaction design, including the fields of Complex User Experience, Data Visualization, Digital-Physical Convergence and Artificial Intelligence. Inspired by Walter Gropius' holistic approach, I research and synthesize innovative interaction to adress 21th centuries' wicked challenges. Together with my colleagues, fellow researchers and international students we strive to further develop Dessau's role as a disruptive design school.
