Speaking

I speak on plural AI and the craft of realisation: how validated ideas in plural technology, data collaboration and organisational research become working systems in enterprises, institutions and democracies. Everything a programme committee needs is on this page.

Andreas Fauler is a practitioner-researcher working on Realisation Infrastructure: the machinery that turns validated ideas in plural technology, AI and organisational research into working systems. Lead author of the ⿻ Plural Stack, 25 years of enterprise execution at IBM, SAP and Celonis, co-founder of Sales Kung Fu, founder side of Tapir.

Andreas Fauler works on the gap between what research knows and what institutions do. He calls the answer Realisation Infrastructure: three coupled loops, practice, operating system and research, governed by a plural constitution. He is lead author and orchestrator of the ⿻ Plural Stack, the RadicalxChange framework for digital infrastructure that resists capture, a contributor to Plurality by Audrey Tang and Glen Weyl, and co-initiator of Plurality DACH. Before that: 25 years on the operator side of enterprise technology at IBM, Novell, SuccessFactors, SAP, Arago and Celonis, an early contributor to GAIA-X, founding member of the Rocketstar Foundation and the Ocean Enterprise Collective. He co-founded Sales Kung Fu, leads the business side of Tapir (People Data Collaboration) and runs Kybernautik Advisory in Frankfurt.

Andreas Fauler is a bridger: he carries what the research frontier has written into production, and real-world evidence back into research. His point of view is that civilisation's bottleneck is no longer invention but realisation. The most important ideas of our time, plural technology, privacy-preserving data collaboration, AI that augments rather than replaces human cooperation, are researched; what is missing is the craft of making them real in enterprises, institutions and democracies. He names that craft Realisation Infrastructure: a practice loop that embodies knowledge in people, an operating system loop that installs it into organisations with software as the carrier, a research loop that feeds evidence back, and a plural constitution above them that decides where the surplus goes. On the research side he is lead author and orchestrator of the ⿻ Plural Stack (RadicalxChange, 2026), a contributor to Plurality by Audrey Tang, E. Glen Weyl and the ⿻ community, and co-initiator of Plurality DACH. On the operator side he spent 25 years in enterprise technology at IBM, Novell, SuccessFactors, SAP, Arago and Celonis, was an early contributor to GAIA-X and to Ocean Protocol's reference paper, and is a founding member of the Rocketstar Foundation and the Ocean Enterprise Collective. He co-founded Sales Kung Fu with Dr. Frank Kuhnecke, leads the business side of Tapir, the People Data Collaboration platform, and runs Kybernautik Advisory GmbH in Frankfurt am Main. He has spoken at MyData and HR Technology Europe and writes the Field Notes at fauler.me.

Talks

Keynote · 25 to 40 min

Civilisation's bottleneck is no longer invention. It is realisation.

Evidence takes 17 years to reach practice in medicine; in management and democracy the picture is no better. The talk names the pattern behind the Knowing-Doing Gap, the Innovator's Dilemma and the deliberative wave that never lands, shows why dissemination fails at every scale, and introduces Realisation Infrastructure: three loops and a constitution, with Taiwan, enterprise software and deliberate practice as the proofs. For audiences in policy, research funding and enterprise transformation.

Keynote or panel · 20 to 30 min

Plural AI: Europe's third path is a stack, not a slogan

Europe does not need its own Big Tech; it needs protocols nobody can capture. The talk walks through the ⿻ Plural Stack, the properties that make infrastructure plural by architecture rather than by promise, and what an AI strategy for a state or a large enterprise looks like when it is built on them. Includes how to measure a service against the stack, so the conversation ends with criteria rather than sentiment. For AI summits, digital-sovereignty and data-governance audiences.

Talk or workshop · 30 min to half day

Share knowledge, not data: positive-sum data collaboration for the enterprise

Privacy-preserving data collaboration lets organisations that compete in their markets cooperate on evidence. The session covers the three principles that keep the game positive-sum (privacy-preserving foundations, fair value sharing, joint governance), the two faces of increasing returns, and a worked example from people data, where the stakes and the trust deficit are highest. For HR, data and enterprise-AI audiences.

Closed door · briefing

Software as organisational change: why your transformation budget buys the wrong thing

Training fixes skill problems; software fixes operating-system problems; neither substitutes for the other. A candid briefing for executive teams on where the gap actually lives in their organisation, and how to use the software adoption moment as the vehicle for the change the research prescribes.
