Olaf Hinz, Project Management Expert

Olaf Hinz has been guiding executives, project managers and organisations in transition through troubled waters for almost 20 years. He believes that resistance is a powerful signal, change is the rule and sailing on sight is the appropriate response to the approaching VUCA weather. As a non-fiction author and speaker, the self-confessed Hanseatic citizen and former office manager of Peer Steinbrück is a sought-after source of inspiration at conferences and barcamps. His most recent publication is #PM2025 Projekte.Gut.Machen, which he wrote together with Heiko Bartlog.
