Johannes is the co-founder and president of ThinkCamp, a nonprofit cooperative based in Germany. Since 2008, ThinkCamp has been offering Learning Journeys and Hiking Dialogues, while also coordinating the UnaVision Initiative. UnaVision forms a learning network of UnaVillage regions where people learn, work, and live together, prototyping resilient and regenerative communities. We develop and apply project-based and transformative learning processes, systems entrepreneurship, sociocratic systems, storytelling, deep dialogue, design thinking, and social innovation. Our goal is to identify and utilize a pattern language for the co-design of future living within and beyond the UnaVision network.

Johannes holds an MBA from Emory University in Atlanta. He has co-founded and supported multiple entrepreneurships and served as CEO of InterQuality Service AG from 1986 to 2014, a company that trained thousands of leaders in European organizations. For 15 years, he taught Systems Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Master’s programs at Salzburg University. He has also served as an assessor for the European Quality Award (EFQM) and trained Six Sigma Black Belts, Design for Six Sigma, and the TRIZ innovation system. Johannes has supported organizations such as the American Quality Association, the European-Japan Association, the Global Marshall Plan Initiative, and Agenda 21 Augsburg as a Senior Fellow.

His objective is to co-create and implement a vibrant global UnaVision network of inspired individuals and systems entrepreneurs, working together to transform society into a resilient, sustainable entity in harmony with nature. He is passionate about transformative learning experiments and learning journeys around the globe.
