Alexander Gruenwald<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With over 15 years of experience, I develop and support solutions for organisations in the public sector and at its interfaces. My expertise ranges from the implementation of impact-oriented management systems and modern approaches to participation, innovation and knowledge management, through to digitalisation and new forms of collaboration. Despite my attention to detail, I never lose sight of the overarching goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ich unterst\u00fctze Organisationen bei der Neugestaltung von Strukturen, Prozessen und Dienstleistungen der \u00f6ffentlichen Hand und ihrer Partner. Meine Leistungen passen sich flexibel Ihren individuellen Anforderungen an. Sie reichen von gezielter Beratung bis zum vollst\u00e4ndigen Management umfangreicher Projekte. Bei Bedarf erg\u00e4nze ich meine Expertise durch ausgew\u00e4hlte Partner:innen aus meinem nationalen und internationalen Netzwerk, um Vorhaben unterschiedlicher Gr\u00f6\u00dfe und Komplexit\u00e4t zielgerichtet, effizient und europaweit umzusetzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my role as policy officer and manager, I contributed to increasing efficiency and effectiveness within the Austrian Federal Administration. Through my work with international organisations and European institutions, I was able to learn about and compare different approaches to public administration and governance, and apply these insights to my own practice. As an international project evaluator, I have continuously sharpened my perspective through exposure to international best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Der sektor\u00fcbergreifende Austausch mit Akteur:innen aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft ist f\u00fcr die Umsetzung komplexer Initiativen zentral. Besonders pr\u00e4gend war die Gr\u00fcndung und langj\u00e4hrige Leitung von \u00d6sterreichs erstem Innovationslabor f\u00fcr den \u00f6ffentlichen Sektor. Als Knotenpunkt in einem europ\u00e4ischen Innovationsnetzwerk konnte das Labor zahlreiche anspruchsvolle Projekte an der Schnittstelle von Verwaltung, Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft realisieren.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

My practical experience is also reflected in my academic and teaching work. I have published white papers, manuals and articles, developed teaching materials, and work as a lecturer in the fields of performance management, innovation management, e-government and knowledge management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a lecturer and speaker, I have been sharing my knowledge of effective, citizen-oriented and innovative public administration for many years, including in European contexts. In addition, I have designed and moderated events, including Austria\u2019s largest innovation conference for the public sector. These formats focus on interactive, learning-oriented experiences that convey knowledge and enable exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
