Who's Behind This

I didn't start with AI. I started with people, and with why change is hard for them.

Andreas Lehner, founder of Mindful AI Academy

For close to 20 years, I've solved complex business problems by building the connection between people, business, and technology.

Brands and companies I have worked with: ON.com, Otto.de, Hapag-Lloyd, ERGO, Berliner Wasserbetriebe, thyssenkrupp, voestalpine, Libri or BerlinHyp Bank.

Across all of it, I kept learning the same lesson. The hardest part of change was never the tool. It was getting people to work differently, not just install something new. When AI arrived, I recognised the same pattern, moving faster than most teams could keep up with. Mindful AI Academy is what I built to bring that experience to AI specifically: finding the few things it changes in a business, and leaving the rest alone.
