Workplace Audit & Diagnosis
Evidence-based organizational audit combining survey data, observation, and interviews. You receive concrete, research-backed recommendations your team can actually act on – not a report that gathers dust.
Office Design Consulting
Participative, evidence-based support for office redesign and spatial transformation. Grounded in organizational behavior research, not gut feeling. Ideal for organizations transitioning to activity-based or hybrid work environments.
Culture & Transformation
Strategic consulting on culture change and hybrid work strategy. Drawing on hands-on consulting experience and current doctoral research with large-scale industry partners.
Design and implementation of field experiments, organizational diagnostics, and intervention assessments – for organizations that want to know whether their initiatives actually work.
Keynotes & Executive Workshops
Research-backed keynotes on hybrid work, the future of work, office design, and organizational culture.
Custom research summaries, practitioner workshops, and evidence briefings – turning academic findings into strategic guidance for your organization.
Research Collaboration with Airbus Defence and Space
My PhD is funded for three years as part of a research collaboration between the University of Konstanz and Airbus Defence and Space in Friedrichshafen.
This collaboration brings together academic research and industrial practice, opening up new perspectives on the future of work, new ways of working, and emerging working environments.
The Spatial Thinkers Column for the IBA
Together with Ann Sophie Lauterbach, I write the column “The Spatial Thinkers” for the industry association office and working world (IBA), where we translate current research on work environments into accessible insights for practitioners and the broader public.

Social Spatial Thinking: From the Office to Interaction
Offices are built – workspaces are created. Despite modern architecture, new workplace concepts, and flexible layouts, many offices fall short of their potential. Why? Because spaces are more than just design and square meters. They are only imbued with meaning by people: through interactions, routines, collaboration, and leadership.
In the context of hybrid work, the dynamics between employees and leaders are fundamentally changing. Different expectations regarding presence, collaboration, and belonging are creating new challenges within the office’s social fabric. How can leaders design workspaces so that employees enjoy coming to the office – without “return-to-office” mandates?
In their presentation, Amelie Marie Fischer and Dr. Ann-Sophie Lauterbach will explore how space is socially constructed, what tensions shape hybrid work environments, and what specific strategies leaders can use to foster a sense of belonging, collaboration, and satisfaction in the office.

From Trends to Evidence: Office Design in the Hybrid Work Environment (September 2026)
Hybrid work is fundamentally changing how we think about the office. As time and space become increasingly decoupled, working from the office is no longer a given – it is a conscious choice. This raises an important question: What do we actually know about the impact of office design?
In this webinar, I explored what current research tells us about designing effective and sustainable work environments. I looked at which spatial elements can support collaboration, concentration, and a sense of belonging, and where organizations may be following design trends rather than evidence.
The webinar also examined the role of employee participation in workplace transformation and discussed how organizations can translate research findings into successful changes in their office environments. Along the way, I highlighted common pitfalls that can undermine transformation processes, and approaches that can help organizations avoid them.
The session offered a research-based perspective on a question that many organizations are currently facing: How can we design offices that respond to the realities of hybrid work – not just to the latest trends?
ORGATEC Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival
Bridging Science & Industry at ORGATEC Cologne (2024)
In our keynote, Dr. Ann Sophie Lauterbach and I explored how scientific insights and practical experience can come together to create office environments that meet the demands of today’s and tomorrow’s work. From hybrid work models and office densification to return-to-office mandates – these trends challenge both practice and research, but one thing is fact: the future of work also requires rethinking the future workspace.
