it's all about

people

partners and processes

 

Digitally transforming our international systems is not about tech but

people- and ecosystem-centred design, processes and partnerships. 

Hi, I’m Andrea Duechting, a senior consultant with over fifteen years of experience in international collaboration, both within and outside Europe. I have managed integrated food security projects in different parts of the world, coordinated humanitarian programmes, and led partnership management and onboarding of new partners for one of the largest digital identity and transfer management platforms in the humanitarian sector. During these years, friends, women and men in Ghana, Mali, Sri Lanka, Burkina Faso, Uganda, and many other countries shared their stories with me, along with their worries and hopes. Their voices have shaped my thinking, pushed me to question the international system and encouraged me try new approaches. They continue to guide me today when I advise organisations in their digital transformation processes, carry out analyses, develop guidance, conduct evaluations and facilitate complex stakeholder processes.

For several years now, I have been living and working as an independent consultant from the mountains in Northern Italy. After a hiking accident and several weeks of forced rest, I realised that I had to change something in my personal and professional life. So I returned north and, in late 2019, I turned my second home in the Dolomites into my first. Since then, nature has been my source of strength. The mountains give me calm and clarity, and enforce my trust to face the challenges of a just international system. Our two Cocker Spaniels keep me grounded. When things get stuck, they pull me back intoner and now. They are my co-workers, best hiking buddies and partners in crime when chaos clouds my view.

In 2025, I have become a member of the Co-workation Alps network and started  developing a concept for dog-assisted nature coaching in and around our mountain hut in the Adamello Brenta National Park. From 2026, we will open our beautiful mountain spot to people who love peaceful environments, draw energy from the outdoors, or want to combine work with a change of scenery. Get in touch if you would like to be part of this journey or stop by for a break and to  give your soul a rest in an unspoiled corner of nature.
