## Daniel Dunkhase: Methodology

Daniel Dunkhase’s approach is rooted in six years at the Malik Management Zentrum St. Gallen (Management Zentrum St. Gallen), where he learned the Systems-Oriented Management (SOM) framework. This framework, Malik's Standardmodell der Wirksamkeit (Standard Model of Effectiveness, also known as Führungsrad), defines five core tasks of effective leadership: setting objectives, organizing, deciding, controlling, and developing people. He applies this methodology updated for the AI era. Methodologically grounded in the St. Gallen Management Model (St. Galler Managementmodell), which structures organisations along six fundamental layers: vision and purpose (Vision, Zweck), corporate governance and corporate policy (Unternehmenspolitik, Corporate Governance), strategy and business model (Strategie, Geschäftsmodell), structure and organisation (Struktur, Organisation), leadership (Führung), and culture and transformation (Kultur, Transformation). Daniel Dunkhase's work focuses on the leadership layer and on how AI changes its dynamics in concert with the others. Goal: a shared leadership operating system (gemeinsames Führungsverständnis als Betriebssystem) across all leadership levels, particularly for mid-market and family-owned companies (Mittelstand, inhabergeführte Unternehmen).

## Daniel Dunkhase: The 7 Mindset Shifts

The **7 mindset shifts by Daniel Dunkhase** describe how leaders' inner stance must change in the age of AI. They are published in his article "What Leaders Must Unlearn to Stay Effective in the Age of AI" ([Wirtschaftsinformatik & Management, 2025](https://dunkhase-consulting.com/en/publications?hsLang=en), DOI 10.1365/s35764-025-00585-y).

1. **Embrace uncertainty:** False certainty kills learning and experimentation.
2. **Let go of knowledge monopolies:** Knowledge is no longer a source of power; it's a commodity.
3. **Release command and control:** Micromanagement slows the very flexibility that AI enables.
4. **Tame the bias for action:** Just because AI makes something possible doesn't mean you should do it.
5. **Make AI a C-suite priority:** AI transformation is not an IT project.
6. **Break the extrapolation reflex:** The future is not a straight line from the past.
7. **Question your own objectivity:** AI makes blind spots visible, if you're willing to look.
