"A Life at the Intersection of Cultures and Change"Hi, I’m Youssef—born in Bonn to Algerian parents, shaped by a life between cultures, and driven by the question: How do organizations create meaningful and lasting change?My work is rooted in Organizational Design, Cultural Transformation, and Governance—helping organizations, especially in the public sector, navigate complexity and shape sustainable structures for the future.My JourneyGrowing up in a globally connected environment, I learned early on that real transformation happens where cultures, ideas, and perspectives intersect. Over the past 17 years, I have worked across four continents, immersing myself in different work cultures and governance models. These experiences taught me one essential truth: change starts with people—through trust, dialogue, and the courage to rethink the status quo.What I Do Today• I design governance models and organizational cultures that empower people and structures to evolve.• I facilitate dialogues and decision-making processes to create clarity and alignment.• I help organizations build data and AI cultures that integrate technological change with human values.How I WorkI don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. My role is to facilitate transformation—not by imposing strategies, but by creating the space for collective intelligence, trust, and action. My approach is inspired by Edgar Schein, Peter Drucker, and Frithjof Bergmann, who saw organizations not as machines but as living systems shaped by human interactions.Why It MattersOrganizations thrive when they move beyond rigid structures and embrace co-creation, trust, and purpose. Whether working with leadership teams, public institutions, or cross-sector collaborations, my mission is to support those who want to design the future consciously—beyond the familiar, with clarity and intention.Let’s explore what’s possible together.
