Founder & methodology

I work on technological change through human behavior and decision quality.

Before increasing an organization’s AI usage, Conscious AI Adoption looks at one question: How is this usage changing people’s judgment, sense of accountability and way of working?

After an engineering degree and an MBA from Istanbul University, I spent 14 years in retail and technology retail: NEXT, LC Waikiki, BGN (Istanbul–Paris), Altınbaş, Gratis and Apple. Much of the work was embedding a new system into how people actually work: rolling out a new retail system to stores in three countries, settling a new model in 15 pilot stores and carrying it to franchise stores, and running the learning and development system and Kaizen-based restructuring projects at Gratis. That is where I learned to manage the rollout of a system designed on paper across an entire company. For the past 8 years, through Mindfulevren Akademi, I have worked on human capacity and learning systems.

01 · Where did it come from?

Looking beneath the behavior first

The starting point: noticing your own share before correcting someone else; asking before judging a behavior; and choosing the most fitting move deliberately.

02 · What carried over into organizations?

A mechanism, not a field

Alongside my work on human behavior and self-regulation, the Philosophy for Communities (P4C) training I completed at Bahçeşehir University’s BAUSEM shapes my approach to asking questions, thinking together and making reasoning visible. This structure was redesigned for moments of AI adoption in an organizational context.

03 · Where to follow

Ideas shared openly as they develop

In the “Thinking with AI” and “Human OS” series, I share field notes on decision ownership, judgment, attention, emotional regulation and adapting to change on LinkedIn. Longer versions, sources and follow-up notes from the newsletter will appear on Substack.

Transparency note: This work is not therapy, personality typing or a validated psychometric test. It is designed to observe, measure and improve human behavior and decision quality in the context of organizational AI adoption.

Conscious AI Adoption for organizations, Mindfulevren for individuals

Organizations

Conscious AI Adoption

My work with organizations runs at team and process level. We don't assess individuals or offer one-to-one coaching; we look at how the work and the team operate with AI.

Individuals, families, schools

Mindfulevren

A separate space for individuals who want to explore their own patterns more deeply, and for families and schools. For eight years I have designed programs on attention, judgment and connection.
