The rules determine

Because every company and every market environment has its own rules, each of our change projects looks different. After all, if you don’t know the rules, you can’t play by them or develop them for the better.

Our holistic consulting approach provides a framework for navigating through complex change processes with a clear focus, while also allowing enough freedom to react to anything unexpected with creativity and ease. In this way, we support leaders and organizations that strive to be the best version of themselves.

It’s about people

We believe in the infinite potential of sincere relationships and that one’s own conviction and actions are the greatest instruments for shaping change. Openness, trust, respect and a sincere interest in our counterpart are fundamental values that are important to us in our work.

Our Projects

Case 1

Positioning of a newly elected board member in a publicly listed medium-sized company in the IT industry.

Challenge

From a clear understanding of culture and leadership to an authentically lived leadership image.

Board team finds itself in a new constellation and with new departmental assignments
Internal promotion to the board: How can you redefine and reposition yourself while remaining true to yourself?
Understanding and evaluating the expectations of board members from all stakeholders (supervisory board, shareholders, customers, employees) and finding your own authentic way of dealing with them
Developing your own standing in the area of tension between previous management culture and cooperative self-image

Our approach

Mapping an authentic understanding of leadership: What does the role need? What is attributed to it? Was wird ihr zugeschrieben? Who am I and where do I stand?
Who am I and where do I stand?
Developing an awareness of one’s own understanding of leadership and actively embodying that understanding of leadership.
A cultural journey from the previous understanding of leadership to the present and future: Gaining understanding and awareness for the dynamics and behaviors of the organization and actively managing them.

Results

Clarity about one’s own understanding of leadership and the interaction within the executive team.
On the basis of the newly acquired self-understanding: continuous, confident cultural change at all levels, supported by programmatic approaches.
The courage to break with conformity: deciding when it is okay to fulfill role expectations and when it is not.
Practical operationalization and implementation of the positioning: e.g. content strategy of social media channels.

Case 2

Transformation of a central division with around 50 operational and strategic employees.

Our approach

Intensive work on cultural rules and protective mechanisms with top management, within the management team and with all employees; conscious pattern breaks and regular performance meetings under the principle of maximum involvement.

Results

Improvement after 9 months in elementary parameters, measured by customer-internal survey

Open feedback culture +45 %
Basic trust in management team +43 %
Appreciation and recognition of one’s own work performance +37%

Case 3

Increasing the leadership and team performance of a 20-person management team

Challenge

From very good individual players to a high-performing management team.

Management team without a common understanding of leadership, pursuing the goals of their own team but not those of the department or the entire division
Lack of awareness of their own contribution to customer experience and alignment to it
Unspoken conflicts in the leadership team and hidden resistance
Performance metrics based on past performance rather than current market competitive conditions – continuous improvement is seen as an attack on the work done

Our approach

Clear positioning of the top manager and his vision and understanding of leadership
Appreciation of what has been achieved in order to develop a positive understanding of continuous improvement
Regular in-depth leadership workshops, dealing with one’s own belief patterns, resistance and its effect on employees, interfaces and results
1:1 talks and sparring sessions to assess and develop individual perspectives
Negotiating a common understanding of leadership

Results

Establishment of common goals at the departmental level
Significant improvement of strength of leadership, confident handling of the change
More pride in shared success and joy in work
Higher quality of talks and discussions
Business impact: Proven increase in productivity
Clear positioning of the division and improved standing of the managers within the division and the group
