Clemens M. Prokop, Consultant to the Institute's management
Clemens M. Prokop supports leaders and organizations in matters of strategic direction and cultural development. At the heart of his work with TYE is the question of how values become effective and tangible in an organization’s actions: in its decisions, its leadership, and its communication. In doing so, he combines analytical clarity with experience from music, dramaturgy, and artistic collaboration.
He studied musicology, theater studies, and literature in Munich and completed the ifp journalism school as a scholarship recipient. His work as a music and opera critic, author, and producer shapes his perspective on people, organizations, and change.
Areas of focus:
