Work that works

How we work

Leading through questions

Leading through questions

Who asks, leads.
  • Questions open up new perspectives, leading to fresh approaches and solutions. Identifying the right questions - we don’t stop until we have found them.
  • Good questions require the ability to take different angles. To formulas and buzzwords, we prefer interdisciplinary exchange, scientifically validated findings, practical experience of different industries and an intensive culture of debate.
  • While we don’t have a patent on mental fireworks and cascades of ideas –  we trigger them again and again.
  • Solutions usually lie under the surface. You can only go deep if you can say what things are. Spaces of openness and trust for us are key to success.

Effectiveness tailor-made

Our goal: achieving maximum effectiveness.
  • Your organisation is unique and deserves to be treated as such. With us, there is no such thing as an “off the peg” project, instead deep project experience and copious insights from research.
  • Most mistakes happen upfront. We work intensively with customers to develop the right project design. Take your time - we will too.
  • Your time and energy are important to us. We value pragmatism and common sense.

Getting ahead through true
co-creation

Getting ahead through true
co-creation

It is the interaction of people with different perspectives that makes the unthinkable possible.
  • We tailor spaces and processes to encourage your people to get involved, work together and come up with fresh approaches and surprising results.
  • Diversity is the most valuable resource of our time. We stand for co-creation based on interdisciplinary exchange of expertise.
  • We like workshops, meetings not so much. Rolling up our sleeves, thinking together, trying things out and continuously improving until we get it right!

Raising hidden potential through trusting cooperation

Every person, every organisation has undreamt-of potential. But, to bring it out requires trust – and a little patience.
  • That’s why we listen. To get to the bottom of what’s amazing in every organisation and person. With persistence and sensitivity.
  • For us, emotion and reason are not in contradiction. Both head and gut need to have their say.
  • Willingness to cooperate requires straight talk, trust and openness to the future. Mutual respect is for us the fertiliser for an open mind and soul. To speak out about what one does not (yet) dare to say.

Raising hidden potential through trusting cooperation

Results through responsibility

Results through responsibility

Consulting means responsibility.
  • With ownership, reliability and commitment, we ensure that ideas become results. Your challenges are ours, and we work side by side until the last hurdle is overcome.
  • Consulting is not about objects; we work with and for people and organisations. Our aim is to empower people and organisations, not make them dependent. That is why we put people at the centre.
  • We work according to scientific and ethical principles as a matter of principle and conviction. If necessary, we do not shirk difficult or uncomfortable decisions.
