Biography
Albert joined INSEAD back in 1989 after earning a doctoral degree in Mathematics from ETH Zurich focusing on the impact of mathematical models and Artificial Intelligence techniques on complex decision making processes.
His research work has been published in 100+ peer-reviewed academic journals, focussing on:
• studying the complexity of large global organizations in many different sectors, and in particular their change/innovation, collaboration, decision-making, and learning dynamics
• understanding how Information Technology enables companies to rapidly transform themselves to reach higher performance levels (see for instance the ICDT Model)
• contributing to the design of effective technology-enabled decision-making and learning approaches (see for instance Designing Humanized Systems for Multiple Criteria Decision Making, management simulations like Boost AI Simulation or the InnoTube platform).
Over the years Albert also developed a true passion for the design of Management Games & Simulations:
• He founded and directed for more than 10 years INSEAD’s Research Centre on Advanced Learning Technologies (CALT)
• He developed more than 30 Management Games & Simulations (almost 1 per year) many of which are used extensively in academic institutions worldwide, including all the top management schools.
• The Games he is working on these days are for instance designed to help managers understand how Artificial Intelligence will transform their key processes and governance, one of his current research areas.
His research projects have been awarded large research funds from the European Community and the European Space Agency, bringing him regularly in touch with a large number of academic as well as non-academic partners, ranging from IKEA of Sweden to Ferrari in Italy, a large number of banks, financial institutions and car manufacturers, as well as several innovative start-ups. Concerning the public sector, he has worked for instance with the Scottish Government, the Danish Finance Ministry, and the Swedish Trade Council.
Within the context of INSEAD’s Executive Education Programmes he has directed and intervenes regularly in programs designed for large organizations in all the key sectors, focussing particularly on Decision Making in VUCA Contexts, Technology-enabled Organizational Transformation, Collaborative Performance and High-Performance Teamwork across Distance, Diversity and Organizational Boundaries, and Understanding the Implications of AI.
