Home | Christian K. Karl

Christian K. Karl I am assistant professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen/ Germany with nearly one decade experience in academic teaching and research (at national and international institutions). I earned an engineering degree in Materials Science & Structural Analysis and a further engineering degree in Construction Management & Hydraulic Engineering and Water Management (both Diplom-Ingenieur). My Ph.D topic was "Simulation and gaming in construction business" which was honored with the "German Simulation And Gaming Award".

Over the years I gained construction industry experience as a quantity surveyor, software developer, construction manager & forensic planner in a variety of projects in construction, infrastructure, oil & gas and energy projects.

During my work I realized that many problems in projects can be traced back to a lack in communication, collaboration and distribution of important information. The key causes of these problems are based both on a personal and a technical level. My aim is to bridge this gap and to improve the processes in today's architecture, engineering, construction, facility operation and management industry.

About

Over the years I acquired extensive knowledge in diverse fields of civil engineering and related areas. Partly due to my professional activities in the construction industry, I was able to extend my expertise from both client’s as well as the contractor's perspective at an international level. Recently, my main field of research is developing and applying innovative technologies and methods to improve the performance in project related industries.

My unique research focuses on the design of synergistic modeling approaches as a basis to increase the understanding of complex systems and to improve both the capacity to act and the ability to make the right decisions at the right point of time. As a result, I developed process-related simulation models to investigate interdependencies inside and between projects, companies and markets. Due to my interdisciplinary interest I consider and integrate further scientific areas within my work like business management, economics, information technology, social sciences, pedagogy and psychology.

The practical application of the developed methods was proved through various consulting activities and was awarded several times, like the "Award for innovations in university teaching practice" or the "German Simulation And Gaming Award". My expertise is known in various fields, such as construction, health care, police/ security forces and toursim. Further evidence for the success of my comprehensive work provides my nomination as an expert of the Disaster Management Research Group at the University of Duisburg-Essen/ Germany in which I serve as a specialist for modeling and simulation. Further, I developed both reserach agendas and study programs in civil engineering (BA- and MA-Level). Based on my occupationally background, I am the initiator of a comprehensive BIM-course at the University of Duisburg-Essen. To ensure the internationally connectivity and compatibility of my work, I cooperate with both national as well as international institutions. Due to my internationally recognized expertise, I was elected to serve as a board member within the Association for Business Gaming and Experiential Learning (ABSEL), which is one of the most known and respected associations in this area. Based on this vital network I am always able to integrate further experts into my projects, if necessary.

In addition to my research I conduct workshops for different audiences and I regularly speak at universities, companies, agencies and conferences on topics like information management, modeling & simulation, business gaming, competency research and many more.

If you are interested in a lecture, workshop or seminar contact me.

My Areas of Expertise are:
Simulation, Building Information Modeling, Educational (Business) Gaming, System Dynamics, Information Technology, Business Administration & Management, Project Management, Disaster Management/ Resilience, Competency Research, E-Learning, Contract Law in Construction & Public Procurement Law, Real Estate Management, Investment and Financing, Industrial Construction/ Prefabrication

Consulting

My goal is to create and maintain values for my clients. Due to the fact, that no problem is like another, I unite a variety of technical and methodological competencies to develop solutions, that are aligned to a unique direct practical benefit.

Examples of projects

Building blocks for system dynamics models applied in Asset Management for an international consulting company
Development of a Building Information Model (BIM) for a converter plattform (wind energy sector)
Preparation of claim documentation for an international energy project
Development and continuation of an as-built schedule for an international infrastructure project incl. identification of disturbance reasons
Development and implementation of a method for detecting the consciousness of sustainability for a building authority in Germany
Research project for the use of BIM in the public works department (development of the research plan, research of available material for BIM approach, partly empirical comparison of the BIM process with current practice in Germany, quality assurance of the research report)
Research project for the extention of environmental product declarations (coordination and content processing)
Development of a quality manual for a healthcare company
Development of a formal claims management framework for a German construction company
Analysis and optimization of workflows in a German company for damage restoration
Development of an HR management system for a construction company in Germany

Workshops

The preservation and extension of competitiveness requires an enhancement of processes in both, projects and company. In addition to technical and organizational issues there is a strong need for a permanent increase in competence for staff and management. This includes a compelling need for updated knowledge, improved skills and the acquisition of additional abilities based on current trends.

To improve the processes in today's architecture, engineering, construction, facility operation and management industry I offer workshops and trainings for different audiences. Starting with individual training (single or weekend seminars) to complete series of seminars for staff development programs in companies.

Especially due to the technical background, I am a valued partner for engineering companies, public and private clients, government agencies, educational institutions as well as non-profit organization. My particular strength is experience-based learning. In addition to the improvement of expert knowledge the participants enhance their personal competencies through individual and/ or group activities. Depending on the workshop there are additional long-term benefits such as an improved understanding of processes, increased motivation, enhanced communication (on personal and/ or structural level), openness to the needs of others, understanding of the necessity to modify structures and/ or processes (change management), and much more.

You can book me for both general topics like creativity techniques, communication, rhetoric, employee and customer surveys, self-management, project management and staff motivation as well as for specific topics like Building Information Modeling, simulation development, industry-related simulation & game design and much more. Beside that, I am able to develop individual solutions which adress specific demands of your team or company.

Examples of conducted workshops, seminars and similar activities

Workshop on the implementation of Simulation & Gaming for Police Training and Public Administration at a Federal University in Germany
Workshop on the implementation of competency-based simulation and role-playing games at a German university
Development of a human ressource development program for a health care company in Germany
Workshop on the implementation of competency-based exams at a German university
Seminar on the implementation of competency-based courses for engineers at a German university
