Strategies & Scenarios for the 21st Century
Management in complex crisis situations
Bridgehead Advisors, Denise Feldner, has been advising the German government and the national network of university medicine on crisis management since 2020. In the national network of university medicine in Germany, we were also represented on the political advisory board of the overarching pandemic management project.
In the context of this consultation, a publication was created that was published in August 2022.
The article with all graphs and tools to manage uncetaintycan be accessed here: “A pyramid model to describe changing decision making under high uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic”
Democracy and Critical Infrastructure
Bridgehead Advisors contributed to the creation of a manual for the NATO COE DAT in Ankara on protecting critical infrastructure from terrorist attacks. The handbook was published jointly by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute, and the NATO COE DAT on December 15, 2022.
The most important contributions were already presented at the annual TEC in Ankara, the international Terrorism Experts Conference.
The Middle East and the Far East as well as developments in those regions with effacts in Europe
In December 2022 Bridgehead Advisors took the initiative and organized a discussion on recent developments in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Irak, Pakistion and Afghanistan. The event was driven by latest discussions on energy transition, the FIFA World Cup, and geopolitical tensions.
The expert speaking about her long term experiences in those regions was Susanne Koelbl, The Spiegel. She is a reporter sice decades and wrote several books about societies, politics, and latest changes in the regions.
Professional, Precise, Decisive
„Ms. Feldner accompanied us with the strategy for pandemic management and pandemic preparedness in the form of agile crisis management. She was a strategic sparring partner with an excellent view of the issues of university medicine. Her focus was on the transformative paradigm shift from evidence-based medical care in pre-crisis times to the ad hoc uncertainty of a crisis and back to a new normal.
A great partner for complex challenges!“
Prof. Dr. med. Juergen Graf
Medical Director and Chairman of the board of the Frankfurt University Hospital
„Denise Feldner accompanied me conceptually in developing the legal form and organizational structure for a new form of art research at the documenta Institute in Kassel. She operates at the interface of excellent science, supporting politics and the interested public and has developed innovative solutions.
A valuable partner for the development of sensitive organizational forms in complex positions of interest!“
