Corporate Culture

In order to develop a high-performance, proactive culture, we focus on the burning issues at your company. We design a customized change process in order to sustainably optimize your management, quality, safety, innovation or growth culture.

Create shared references
A strong management team that pursues a shared target scenario is needed to bring about a sustainable paradigm shift. That’s why any change process starts with intensive work with the entire management team. We also introduce experts to a new role: they evolve from subject specialists into process consultants for the process of cultural change.

Reflecting culture
An important engine in the change process is the structured observation of informal patterns of behavior in the organization. We work using proven methods of cultural assessment, with the help of which employees and management are able to prioritize action areas. Open dialog formats make it possible to experience new forms of collaboration – we promote learning by doing.

Promote implementation
Implementation of the action areas requires the support of all personnel, especially that of middle management. We promote implementation by means of activating learning modules, targeted competence building and methodological know-how. In order to achieve far-reaching impact, we produce true-to-life teaching and communication films, utilizing the film production process itself as a form of intervention.

Integrating learning into daily routines
Efforts at targeted nurturing of a value-added corporate culture never end, and should be organized as a continuous learning process. We support you in the process of designing regular learning and reflection loops integrated into day-to-day work. In addition, we conceptualize and implement digital learning collections in order to promote self-directed learning as part of the company’s everyday work.
