Expert profile

Daniel Schäfer

I have been working at the intersection of media, technology, and the world of work for over 15 years. As a trainer and consultant for digital working methods, virtual reality, metaverse, and generative AI, I see myself as a translator between complex technology and everyday working life. I am motivated when skepticism turns into curiosity and buzzwords turn into concrete applications for teams. I became a trainer because I want to create spaces where people can try things out without fear, ask questions, and work together to shape a working world that is both humane and sustainable.
