ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far,
go with others.

Shaping change instead of administrating it
The world of work is changing at a rapid pace: many things are becoming more unstable and unpredictable. Organisations are also constantly changing and evolving – whether planned or unplanned. Dynamic change coupled with pressure to succeed creates uncertainty and areas of tension that can push people and systems to their limits. The longing for meaning and orientation is growing. In times of rapid growth or transformation, organisations need a phase of restructuring in which they redefine their core services, review processes and clarify roles and decision-making powers. I support you in actively shaping change – in a structured, value-based and effective manner. This ensures that organisations remain agile and people remain capable of acting.
Organisations are living, complex social systems with their own history, logic and culture. When members of an organisation understand how it works, this regulates individual interests and brings the common purpose into focus. Change starts small. When people experience and understand something new, a piece of the new reality is created and the path to it becomes easier to follow. Organisational development rarely proceeds straightforward. This is because change touches emotions and can trigger fears and resistance. Sometimes there are quick solutions, but often change processes take longer.
Cooperation that works
In complex times, cooperation across organisational boundaries is crucial. No single player can master major challenges alone – strong partners and networks are the key to success. Effective cooperation requires clarity about common goals and a willingness to rethink established processes and routines. In high-performance cooperation systems, you and your partners pool resources, harmonise processes and establish a comprehensive management structure. I support you in finding suitable forms of cooperation and establishing spaces in which trust between partners can grow – for vital, productive networks and cooperation systems.
Consulting that moves
With over 25 years of consulting experience, I am familiar with the trends and tools of change management. It is important to mobilise energy for upcoming change processes and – in addition to sustainable structures – to promote attitudes and the quality of relationships. In joint dialogue, we find out what your organisation needs right now: innovation or consolidation, stability or flexibility – or something completely different. The aim of my consulting work is to create vibrant, resilient organisations and networks in which potential can unfold and which are equally attractive to employees and customers.
