Hi, I’m Christina. I design transformative experiences that help humans tackle the 21st century.

Learning & Change Designer
Creating Optimistic Agents for the Age of Hyper-Change
Never before has the world changed as rapidly as it will in the 2020s: climate change, artificial intelligence, social shifts – the list goes on. Hyper-change is affecting all our systems, challenging people, societies and businesses alike. To keep up, we need to adapt quickly and become transient human beings with the ability to shape our environment under increasing uncertainty. I help organisations develop transilience by designing learning and change programs that deliver skills and mindsets for the 21st century.
Play with the Future
Ok, New Work is on the way, now comes AI. But what will we face two years from now? And what skills will we need? Exploring possible futures before things turn upside down can help your organisation stay ahead of the curve and prepare for the seemingly unexpected.
Dance with the Change
People hate change. That’s how mammals are wired. Yet change is inevitable, at least for those who want to survive. For the stubborn human, change requires a well-crafted choreography that turns resistance into a dance with evolution. Do you already know the steps?
Make Learning Fun
When adaptation means survival, then learning becomes our lifeboat. Let’s embark on the adventure and set the sails right! Together we create learning experiences that are joyful and fun, even though school taught us otherwise. But who needs school anyway?
Christina Pautsch
Empowering people to build a brighter future for themselves, society, and future generations is at the heart of my mission.
»What if…?« is my favorite question. In the past 10+ years I have asked it a lot to imagine better ways of doing things and replace the old paradigm in various fields. As Director of Product at one of Europe’s pioneering course platforms, I envisioned the online learning experience of the future and built educational programmes with renowned organisations like the WWF, UNEP and the Global Labor University that reached tens of thousands of learners worldwide. As an independent strategist, I worked with pioneering start-ups and established companies on systemic innovations that would change the game in healthcare, education and sustainability. Today, I help organisations become future-ready by fostering human development and embracing creative disruption to create a brighter future for us all.
I have an M.A. in Media Studies and a B.A. in Cultural Studies. Currently I’m doing a M.Sc. in Psychology. I’m certified as a Coach (ICI), Design Thinking Team Coach and Scrum Product Owner (Scrum Alliance). As an alumni of the UnSchool of Disruptive Design, I trained with Dr. Leyla Acaroglu in sustainability and systems change. At the C.G. Jung Institute Zurich, I trained in psychodynamic psychology to explore the deeper forces driving human growth.
Addressing Systems, not Symptoms.
I have worked on a wide range of topics that all have one thing in common: they focus on changing systems rather than just treating symptoms.
Agile Management
How can we make static organisations more responsive, adaptable and collaborative?
AI-based Therapy
How can we use artificial intelligence to solve the mental health crisis?
Sustainable Innovation
How can we turn a global corporation into a sustainability pioneer by helping its employees embrace circular principles?
Social Impact
How can we empower change makers at scale to increase their social and environmental impact?
Mental Health
How can we foster mental health at scale through the use of digital devices?
Digital Transformation
How can we bring digital and entrepreneurial skills into established organisations to support digital innovation?
Data Literacy
How can we create a culture where decisions are based on data instead of gut feeling and opinions=
Data Privacy
How do we make data protection simple and straightforward, so that data privacy as a human right lives up to its promise?
