A business consultant at a NGO: What I learnt on my journey | Benjamin Weber | TEDxBerlin

For more information on Benjamin Weber, please visit out website www.tedxberlin.de Having worked as a management consultant for 2.5 years, Benjamin paused his job and worked for a large German NGO. For 18 months, he engaged in different departments and projects in Germany and abroad. As a physicist and management consultant in the NGO sector, he came to realize that his different background and mindset enabled him to bring in a unique skillset and perspective that lead to unintended bene ts for himself and the organization. Having returned to management consulting for now, he lobbies for more colleagues to engage themselves and bring in their abilities in a new (non-pro t-) environment. Benjamin studied physics in Karlsruhe and now lives in Stuttgart with his wife, from where he explores the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
