Coaching
Executive Team Coaching
Faced with the dynamic developments of the 21st century, leaders responsible for people and organizational development need to rethink their professional relationships. Hierarchy and authority are making way for interactions across networks – exactly the right approach to successfully launch innovations and master rapid change.
To support the transition, executive teams and managers increasingly need time off – to reflect as executive teams and together with their cross-functional organizations on how they will meet the challenges of digitization and globalization, all the while ensuring that their company is able to make its transformation successfully.

To support the transition, executive teams and managers increasingly need time off – to reflect as executive teams and together with their cross-functional organizations on how they will meet the challenges of digitization and globalization, all the while ensuring that their company is able to make its transformation successfully.
In the process, they notice that their personal relationships with one another have a major impact on the new management style - at best in a positive way.
We often help by showing your team the current business challenges – think: digitization and globalization. Then we work with your teams to build organizational networks, and to develop the leadership models, governance, approaches and work and methods needed to allow people to generate outcomes successfully.
- Change factor no. 1: Together we explore and foster an internal culture of cooperation and trust. Business areas that benefit from continuous value creation processes are encouraged to reorganize accordingly.
- Change factor No. 2: We prepare your team to support processes in an agile and collaborative manner.
Agile Transformation
The age of top-down change projects is over. Our organizations have become too complex to be managed entirely from above, as we can neither reliably predict their goals nor the path to achieve them in order to plan goals and actions top-down for other people.
Today we necessarily live in the age of “co-creation”, in which we all look at and discuss our situation together, recognize the need for change, invite and evaluate recommendations from all areas of the organization, and formulate and implement actions together.
Modern organizations transform themselves in a bottom-up / top-down choreography to align with the needs of their customers. They go through this process not just once, but rather are in constant adjustment and reinvention to keep up with the changes happening in the world.
Das Zeitalter der Top-Down Veränderungsprojekte ist vorbei. Unsere Organisationen sind zu komplex für solche Vorgehensweisen geworden. Denn wir können weder die Ziele, noch den Weg zuverlässig vorhersagen, um eine Planung für andere Menschen vorzunehmen.
Heute leben wir im Zeitalter des „Co-Creation“, in dem wir alle zusammen unsere Situation betrachten und besprechen, Veränderungsbedarf erkennen, Empfehlungen aus allen Bereichen der Organisation einladen und bewerten, und gemeinsam Handlungen formulieren und umsetzen.
Organisationen transformieren sich selbst, um sich auf die Anforderungen ihrer Kunden auszurichten. Sie durchlaufen diesen Prozess nicht nur einmal, sondern sie befinden sich in der ständigen Anpassung und Neuerfindung, um mit den Veränderungen in der Welt mitzuhalten.
Obwohl der Transformationsprozess prinzipiell von innen kommen muss, kommt er ohne Begleitung und Betreuung weder in Gang noch zu Ergebnissen. Er braucht einen Auslöser und die Arbeit von Moderatoren, die dem sozialen Prozess der Transformation einen Rahmen geben.
In dieser Trainingsreihe begleiten wir ihre Transformations-Agents und -Moderatoren, als auch ihre Führungskräfte und Teams in ihrem Lernprozess auf dem Weg ihrer Transformation. Wir zeigen ihnen das Handwerkszeug der Transformation, von OKR’s über digitale Whiteboards und Kanban, um die Transformation in lebendigen Prozessen und Strukturen Halt zu geben.
Wir trainieren die Moderations- und Kommunikationsfähigkeit, die bei Begleitern von Transformationsprozessen vorausgesetzt werden.
Vor allem gehen wir in die tiefere Selbstreflexion miteinander, um im Coaching und in der Supervision den Akteuren in ihrem Lernprozess Halt und Orientierung zu geben und zu stärken.
To support this new reality, we train, coach, shadow and mentor your transformation agents and moderators, as well as your managers and teams in their learning process on the path of their transformation. We engage your people in sensemaking and dialogue and show you the tools of the trade for transformation, from listening and conflict management skills to OKR’s for agile governance, and digital whiteboards and Kanban for the teams to visualize their work.
Above all, we go into deeper self-reflection with one another in order to provide orientation and to strengthen the actors in their learning process through coaching and supervision.

Training
Most of the learning through which people master their work in networked organizations takes place as part of the work process itself, through self-directed experimentation and the experience it generates.
However, in the areas of advanced social skills and psychological self-reflection, self-direction may never lead to insight. Personal development and group dynamics often need coaching and facilitation to break out of fixed patterns and come to insight about the next steps that will take people and systems beyond their current limitations.
It is sometimes better not to have people reinvent the wheel. Often it is more effective for everyone to be shown the same ideas, approaches and lessons-learned by an experienced expert and practitioner and then to customize and adapt them for themselves.
With our support, we can give you a leg-up on such issues as:
- Strategic approaches such as canvas and OKR's

- Conflict management

Workshops
Companies and employees are constantly changing. They transform themselves or they grow and develop, which can sometimes lead to impasses, confrontations with old patterns, or conflicts.
For example, in the development of a product, the team comes up against obstacles it gets stuck on, and task force may be needed to deal with the problem. In such situations, teams may want a facilitator and coach to provide external perspective – fine adjustments or major interventions that have a positive impact on the success of the project.
We often support the work of project teams, whether in product development, in teambuilding and strategy, or on the executive level in dealing with strategy and execution.
How we support you:
- In personal coaching sessions with your executives and managers, we support self-reflection and the of effective approaches to dealing with challenges.
- We teach your teams methods to manage themselves and to work together successfully. In tailor-made workshops, we also support your teams to manage complex projects, unusual challenges or strategic questions.
Would you like to know how we can support you? I would be happy to discuss these questions with you in person.
