Primary research areas

The role of quan­ti­fic­a­tion in or­gan­iz­ing
How do num­bers shape our world, through per­form­ance meas­ure­ment and in­dic­at­ors? How do people re­act to be­ing meas­ured and how do they in­flu­ence meas­ure­ment?
Car­bon emis­sion ac­count­ing, sustain­ability & nature
Ex­plor­ing con­trol sys­tems for “net-zero” and “nature-pos­it­ive” goals – what counts as Nature, and how meas­ure­ment en­ables or con­strains stew­ard­ship? How can we en­gage with Scope 3 – the car­bon emis­sions of an or­gan­iz­a­tion’s sup­ply chain?
Risk man­age­ment & man­age­ment con­trol
Study­ing how risk man­age­ment in­ter­acts with oth­er man­age­ment con­trol sys­tems, as part of a more gen­er­al ex­plor­a­tion of risk as a lo­gic of or­gan­iz­ing.

I want to un­der­stand how num­bers shape our world in times of risk and un­cer­tainty

My research deals with the impact of numbers on organizations and society. I want to understand how numbers such as performance measures of employees, the calculation of carbon emissions, or quantified risks in healthcare influence managers, employees, and organizations. I am especially interested in those things which are difficult to quantify because those numbers will never be able to truly and fully represent what they seek to depict. But such numbers are still used to organize – leading to complex dynamics.

Numbers usually stand for stability and objectivity. But how should this work in times of risk, uncertainty, and poly-crisis? How do numbers shape how we understand a changing and emerging world? And how might numbers actually help us find meaningful actions when the future is unclear and the stability of facts is shaking?
