Rainer Krause

I am a seasoned and highly engaging leader, as well as a professional expert in knowledge transfer, adult education, and training management, with a strong track record of academic excellence, field-proven experience, and profound expertise in instructional design, course design, curriculum development, and training implementation. With extensive international and intercultural leadership experience and hands-on work, paired with a clear understanding of customer service, I have successfully developed and guided teams in analysis, course design, training strategies, and problem-solving. My leadership philosophy is anchored in lateral leadership, team empowerment, and strategic networking to ensure cross-functional collaboration. A natural ability to explain, coach, instruct, uplift, and inspire enables me to drive team development and create acceptance and engagement within my target audience. With over 20 years of expertise in e-learning, blended learning solutions, and in-person training (ranging from one-on-one VIP training to group and workshop-based learning – and everything in between), I empower teams to leverage innovative authoring and content development tools with precision, apply AI strategically, collaborate across departments, and steer vendors to optimize training outcomes. It is because I am deeply rooted in management and operations - drawing from technology, educational sciences, psychology, and communication linguistics – that I am able to bridge gaps between education, administration, departments, and technology for impactful knowledge transfer. I combine a 360° work approach with active listening, analytical thinking, and cross-functional communication skills. Certified in Train-the-Trainer, I specialize in technical and skill-focused adult education through engaging and effective learning strategies, always grounded in context-specific and in-depth needs assessment. My approach ensures customer-focused training experiences on one hand, and reasonable benchmark and KPI handling as well as effective change management on the other.
