He has a keen interest in technical and business agility, complexity theory, evidence-based management, strategy and ecosystem design, and corporate innovation.
Manuel is a genuine and engaging public speaker, and particularly enjoys talking about agility and neurodiversity as a competitive advantage, especially in problem-solving and innovation in complex domains.
