Dr. Thomas R. Glueck

Ockham meets Ashby

What influence does (qualitative) disinformation have on individuals and organizations? This question was at the core of my PhD research in management and organizational psychology, with a strong focus on cybernetics.

My first professional experiences in (investment) banking made me realize that tradfi offered me little room for impact. I therefore took a fundamentally different direction.

My academic background in statistics and computer science led me from software development into project management, system development, and organizational consulting.

In retrospect, my PhD thesis may have been well ahead of its time. With today’s exponential growth of data-driven organizations and increasingly intelligent systems, it is gaining new relevance. I am therefore translating parts of my work into a more concise and practice-oriented form.

My early publications were directed at a small circle of academic specialists. Given the empirical nature of my basic research, there was little room for discussion in an environment that thrives on debate. After all, it is not easy to form opinions on empirical phenomena — especially when the subject matter itself can be somewhat sensitive, depending on its application. Ultimately, who dares to call (even discuss) the child by its right name?

After more than 20 years of relevant professional experience, I am revisiting the topic and exploring it anew in light of my recent projects and current developments.

Here you will find a few examples of my work (I also blog from time to time). Under the menu item »perspectives«, I’ve compiled a selection of earlier publications, and you can find some presentations under “links“.

Reader beware: this site has more of a personal blog style (and I’m still experimenting). I’ve shaped the content the way I like it, without tailoring it to any particular audience: that’s what promptPapers are for.
For upcoming commercial projects regarding cyberCortex®, I’ll create a separate, more formal web presence dedicated to technical facts, PoCs, code, and other thrilling (yawn) details — kicking off with whichever patent grant lands first, US or EU (Japan and Canada already granted). Until then, thank you for your patience and understanding.

I look forward to personal exchange. Thank you for your interest.
