Our work is informed by an open-ended approach, not ready-made templates. We get together with those involved and gain an overall picture of the situation in order to address relevant issues.
We begin the consulting process by looking at the entire organization, its structures and teams, identifying patterns and establishing which components need to be developed further.
Executive committees, managers and employees are there to achieve results. Performance success only happens with and through the people involved – in other words, how can we be clear, consistent and successful in something and at the same time appreciative, respectful and attentive to all stakeholders and especially to ourselves?
Together with our customers, we develop the client’s corporate culture, create a common language for team-oriented and goal-driven collaboration, find systematic approaches for projects that promote possibilities for successful cooperation.
It is often helpful to get facilitation support when it comes to interface issues in organizations, strategy processes, retreats or challenging meetings. As process-oriented facilitators, we make sure the organization developmental needs are supported, retrospective appraisals are systematically used and agreed objectives are achieved.
Organizations in transition can face unexpected, uncertain and ambiguous circumstances. We are ready to help you address the challenges that go hand in hand with changing times.
Leadership & cooperation
Leadership & cooperation
Goal-driven and team-oriented leadership and cooperation: learning through experience means transforming knowledge into capabilities and securing desired benefits. To this end, newly acquired skills are practiced in different situations so they can be transferred to the everyday work situation.
Hierarchies are becoming flatter, so we emphasize the core skills of leadership: giving guidance, making decisions under conditions of uncertainty, mediation as a leadership function, acting with self-assurance in difficult situations, and motivating all through a shared sense of purpose and clarity of objectives..
Learning to cope with constantly changing framework conditions and target conflicts, as well as developing the ability to maintain one’s composure while at the same time keeping sight of the focus on identifying solutions and putting them into practice is key – responsibility must be taken for oneself and for others.
The cooperative approach is especially important in discussions and negotiations at all levels. We promote the conscious leading of discussions away from fixed positions towards a win-win solution, satisfying as many of the interests of all involved as far as possible – as originally described in as the Harvard Concept®.
Teams are not automatically fit for work. Systematic cooperation aimed at a shared goal brings success and job satisfaction. A consciously built-in reflection loop gives teams the chance to learn from each other and build on the past. We help teams employ this reflection process so that they can continually refine and improve skills as well as strengthen connections with one another so that existing potential is exploited; regardless of differences.
The individual & consciousness
The individual & consciousness
If we look at people and the organization from a systemic standpoint, it is a reflection of those involved. Each person and each component of the whole constantly and mutually influences each other. This evolving and changing system creates new rules and laws and sometimes confusion. By helping people examine their personal attitudes, they can decide which ones they want to endorse so that actions and values are brought into alignment – strengthening themselves and the entire system..
Those who do not understand themselves, cannot manage themselves and are not able to provide leadership and support to others. Self-awareness is therefore a guiding principle of any further development. We support and assist individuals and teams by means of specialized coaching. Where appropriate, we use aids such as iTYPE, MBTI®, DISC®, FIRO-B® or Situational Leadership®.
By coaching we mean a comprehensive, future-oriented and individually targeted approach. We help our clients consciously learn from experience rather than offering them routine advice or standard solutions. The coaching process fosters self-reflection and contemplation, and empowers clients through in-depth personal analysis, values clarification, and targeted exercises – our motto is help for self-help.
Crucial to personal development is the cultivation of one’s own internal resources, in other words, conscious self-management and self-organization. This entails the use of intuition and emotional intelligence, the application of appreciation and gratitude and the development of resilience; adopting a sense of composure during challenges at work and at home.
