Our offer
We like to think in triangles, starting at one corner, and working our way around. When advising an organisation, we always have the team dynamics and the dynamics of the individuals in mind. This increases the complexity and leads to a better reality.

Change Management
We are among the best in cooperation and long-term development. With this expertise, we advise your organisation when changes are imminent. Both from the inside and the outside.
The process of successful change requires not only rational decisions, but also emotional work with the people who shape these experiences. For this, we focus on the willingness and ability to change and work with the unconscious potential in your organisation.
We work with you to develop the right change architecture, which creates space for effective action and reflection. Yet at the same time, is flexible enough to react to the unexpected. We’ll be there with you step by step in this implementation.
Elements of our work:
- The Architecture and Design Workshop
- Retrospective in Change
Strategy development
We are experts in good cooperation and long-term development.
With this attitude, we enter the "ring" with leaders and leadership teams who want a counterpart for particularly challenging tasks and disputes.
We have the classic and the agile pole of your strategy development in mind:
Classic - we develop your longer-term strategy with you in order to secure the company and plan the path to your central goals.
Agile - we support you in strategy development geared towards disruption and turbulence according to the "grassroots model", in which existing resources are the starting point for different directions of goals.
In doing so, we encourage the work strategy to enable creative leaps. We help you to use resistance to uncover and negotiate power and micro-political aspirations.
Elements of our work:
- Trendanalyse
- Arbeit mit Szenarien
- Stakeholder-Analyse und Mikropolitik
- Strategiekommunikation
- Umgang mit Widerständen
Cultural development
We are experts in good cooperation and long-term development.
With this expertise, we advise your organisation to help you understand and develop the culture of your organisation.
Organisations resemble water lilies (Ed Schein). The flower on the surface shows the visible structure of cultural understanding, such as the spatial architecture, symbols, rituals, etc.. Below that are the professed values, which can be found in mission statements or strategy papers. And finally, there is the level of basic premises, the root, in which an organisation's very own worldview is found. Like any plant, the water lily will only blossom when the nutrients in the root are just right. In this sense, we want to understand and develop your organisation’s cultural understanding in depth with you.
In concrete terms, this means that corporate culture arises from the interaction of strategic goals, structures, and processes as well as the way in which leadership and cooperation are experienced.
Elements of our work:
- Culture diagnosis
- Leadership principles development
TEAM
Management Team - Coaching
Coaching originally comes from supervision, which is derived from the Latin meaning for overview. Regarding the problem of "not being able to see the wood for the trees", supervision helps to get the necessary distance and thus to see the big picture again. In any leadership or board team, it helps to exchange the different perspectives of the individuals in order to reduce the risks of unwise decisions for the whole organisation. In the sense of a true leadership community, it is important to make hidden (factual and emotional) issues visible and discussable again.
As external consultants, we help you to see the forest again. Supervision supports your leadership team as a regular companion in exchanging perspectives on content, reflecting on your team dynamics, and dealing with trouble. This enables effective and strategically targeted leadership.
Team development
Teams are similar to an ecosystem - like a biotope, all team members use the same habitat and the same resources in different ways. Good interaction creates fertile ground from which new things can emerge.
As in all ecosystems, even small changes and issues in teams have an impact on their ability to perform and function.
We help you to design your team’s living space in your organisation in such a way that it can both develop and regenerate itself when there are problems.
Team diagnosis: Adaptiveness is key
Even small changes in teams can have an impact on their ability to perform and function. In today's complex and volatile world, how adaptive teams are to these changes is the key factor influencing an organisation’s success.
A team’s adaptability does not depend on the single individual, but on the interactions of the team members and the team-specific skill set, knowledge, and experience. These team processes and dynamics have been intensively researched in recent years.
We now offer you the opportunity to put these scientific findings into practice.
With the help of a validated questionnaire, we record the quality of your team in terms of adaptability and then develop tailor-made interventions together with you to increase your team’s productivity.

Elements of our work:
Individual
coaching
It offers the chance to look at challenges in a professional context and develop new perspectives. It is important for us to understand you from the story of your individual experience. This way we get to know you properly and new spaces for thought and action become possible.
It offers the chance to look at challenges in a professional context and develop new perspectives. It is important for us to understand you from your individual experience story. In this way we get to know you and you yourself better. New spaces for thought and action thus become possible.
In addition to professional events, there are also private events that have an impact on your ability to work. It is often the transitional phases when things get difficult. Here we offer you the support you need.
Procedure:
As a rule, we start with 5-8 coaching sessions (90 minutes each) where we will discuss the exact framework together.
Conflict mediation
Promoting innovation, developing creativity, initiating solution-seeking - these are positive effects of well-managed conflict talks. Failure to resolve conflicts creates stress for both staff and management. In the long run, this can lead to massive amounts of stress for the individuals involved as well as for the organisation.
If conflicts escalate over a long period of time and cannot be resolved through the organisations, conflict mediation is a tried and tested method. Mediation helps to break down hardened barriers to move from positions to interests, and to re-establish understanding in each other’s perspectives.
Procedure:
- Individual conversation with conflict partner A
- Individual conversation with conflict partner B
- Joint discussions between conflict partners A & B
The duration and frequency of mediations are highly individual and will be discussed with you.
Sparring of leaders and leadership teams
We are experts in good cooperation and long-term development.
With this attitude, we enter the "ring" with leaders and leadership teams who want a counterpart for particularly challenging tasks and disputes.
Sparring itself, questions things such as existing ideas, concepts, and plans of leaders and leadership teams. Even more than coaching. Together, the resources available are examined and their best possible use for implementation in concrete leadership action and change management is tested. Possible solutions are examined for their viability in the company. Complex projects are researched more on the levels of content and emotion in an appreciative and critical manner. In this way, we support the clients and help broaden their horizons of knowledge and experience.
