Prof. Dr. Dr. Qeis Kamran
True transformation begins when we learn to see — ourselves, our systems, and the possibilities hidden in complexity.
Who is Qeis?
I believe that real transformation begins with clarity — clarity about who we are, how we think, and how we shape the systems we live and work in. Learning, to me, is a lifelong act of becoming: expanding our understanding, questioning our assumptions, and designing better possibilities for ourselves and for others. Whether I am exploring new ideas in cybernetics, reading philosophical texts, or engaging with people and their challenges, I approach each moment with curiosity, responsibility, and a deep commitment to growth. As a trainer, I bring this same mindset into every session: transformation is not only about methods — it’s about perspective, connection, and conscious design.
Qeis Kamran is a strategic thinker with a rare combination of academic excellence, global leadership experience, and deep expertise in complexity, organizational design, and artificial intelligence. For more than two decades, he has led and transformed organizations across FMCG, energy, consulting, education, and global operations — consistently navigating companies through change, uncertainty, and strategic turning points.
As a Professor of Strategic Management, Cybernetics, and Design Science, he bridges rigorous research with real-world leadership. His work focuses on how organizations can think, learn, and evolve in complex environments — and how AI, model-based management, and system design can unlock resilience, intelligence, and long-term performance. His teaching style is analytical, philosophical, and empowering, shaped by years of experience in executive management, turnaround leadership, and international academic work.
With academic roots in management science, cybernetics, design science, and AI — including research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital transformation — he brings a uniquely holistic perspective to strategy and organizational development. His passion lies in helping individuals and organizations think more clearly, act more intentionally, and design structures that truly support human and organizational flourishing.

Why I teach at AIcademy
Teaching Focus at the AIcademy
I teach at the AIcademy because education is one of the most powerful forms of transformation. AI offers immense potential — not just technologically, but as a way of rethinking how organizations operate, how people learn, and how we approach complexity. Sharing knowledge, guiding others, and helping them navigate uncertainty is deeply meaningful to me. At the AIcademy, I can combine philosophy, strategy, design science, and AI to empower people to build something purposeful and enduring.

Meet the Person Behind the Trainer
I love continuous learning. reading, exploring new ideas, and expanding my understanding of how the world works. Growth is both a hobby and a personal value.
Sushi: simple, elegant, and full of nuance.
Philosophical thinkers like Heidegger inspire me deeply, especially the idea that understanding ourselves and our “being-in-the-world” is the foundation for meaningful action. I’m driven by the desire to help people grow, both academically and personally, and to support them in realizing their potential.
I would grow and sell wine. I admire the craft, patience, and philosophy behind winemaking and I appreciate a truly good wine.
Many believe that AI is harmful to humans in the long term. I disagree. AI is a powerful tool that, when used responsibly and thoughtfully, can improve our lives, our decisions, and the systems we rely on. It’s not the tool that’s dangerous, it’s how we choose to use it.
Start small, be curious, experiment and get a little better every day. Progress comes from trying, reflecting, and continuously learning.
