Peter Heisig joined the Engineering Design Centre in April 2007 as a Research Associate on the Knowledge and Information Management (KIM) Grand Challenge Project.

His previous work concentrated on integration of knowledge management into business processes. He worked at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology (Fraunhofer IPK) in Berlin, where he led the "Competence Center Knowledge Management" (CCWM) until 2004. The CCWM team worked on some applied research projects with partners from industry (like Siemens, VOLKSWAGEN), service (SAS, German Airtraffic Control), public administration (Home office of one Federal State - Länder) and research organisation (Fraunhofer itself). He was appointed by the CEN and EU DG Information Society as KM expert to work on the CWA 14924 "European Guide to Good Practice in Knowledge Management" in 2001-2002. In 2003 he proposed to the German Ministry of Economics to test Intellectual Capital Reporting approaches in order to improve strategic thinking about intellectual assets in small and medium-sized enterprises. He is a founding member of the Working Group Wissensbilanz which developed, tested and produced the first German Guideline “Intelectual Capital Statement – Made in Germany”.

In 2005 he founded eureki - European Research Center for Knowledge and Innovation - as a network of experts to help organizations to improve the usage and creation of knowledge for innovation.

Peter Heisig has lectured at the Technical University Berlin, the Humboldt University Berlin and the e-Business Management School, Istituto Superiore Universitario di Formazione Interdisciplinare, University of Lecce, Italy and Donau University Krems, Austria.
