Christa MUTH

Dr. Prof. HES, Systems Specialist, Emeritus Professor at HES-SO, member of the Executive Committee of the NGO Objectif Sciences International.

Over almost 20 years of consulting activity, she has collaborated with public organizations and companies of all sizes, often within high-risk, even critical, mandates for the survival of client organizations. In most of her mandates, she prioritized non-tangible factors—people and organizational culture—rather than the more visible, tangible factors. The results often proved her right. She developed her original approach thanks to her academic journey, during which she had the chance to meet exceptional intellectuals who marked their time and her mind, such as Edgar Morin, Paolo Freire, Paul Watzlawick, Henri Laborit, and Jean Ziegler.

This approach, strengthened by her field experience in strategy and organizational development, converged in the postgraduate program she designed, the Master of Advanced Studies in Human Systems Engineering, as well as in the research and development projects she directed or inspired.

Currently, her main themes are diversity, strategy, complexity, innovation, and social entrepreneurship, which she converges in the following formula:

Innovation = Sourcing from Diversity + Surfing on Complexity

She addresses this field in her publications, consulting mandates, international conferences, and participation in civil society committees.
