Our consulting services
We mobilise contact and cooperation!
Your concerns are the starting point for our consulting services. We are your committed partners who, from the first contact listen with curiosity and sound out the situation together with you. Depending on the respective assignment, we develop the appropriate architecture that fits your needs. When it comes to implementation, we rely on diversity; our network of experienced consultants makes it possible to provide you with the right team of consultants in terms of content and expertise, or to accompany you in your concerns in tandem of experts.
If necessary, we combine face-to-face as well as remote settings. As consultants, we look at current trends and innovative concepts and critically scrutinise them. In doing so, we take up meaningful ideas and distinguish them from “old wine in new bottles”. We combine psychodynamic, group-dynamic and system-theoretical approaches and, as disputatious “counterparts”, are prepared to engage in responsible debate.
Leadership development
Currently, a paradigm shift can be observed that questions traditional leadership concepts in favour of agile, decentralised leadership. This change may bring relief for managers, but at the same time, it causes uncertainty and ambiguity. We observe the desire for support and orientation in this field of tension and believe that rigid hierarchical structures can only be overcome through teamwork that paves the way for more autonomy.
Our offers for the qualification of – prospective and experienced – leaders start with the legitimisation upwards, downwards and sideways: Functional awareness and role flexibility are crucial for successful leadership. Together, we take a look at the dynamics behind this and deal with the interplay between leadership and following. Containment as an attitude is a central concern for us. We focus on self-care and self-leadership and provide tools for support.
- In-house leadership training courses
- Leadership development for special target groups: sandwich leaders; leaders who lead leaders; young potentials.
- Workshops on current topics: Lateral leadership; leadership without a superior function; leading self-organised teams; health as a leadership task.
- Training on the application of classic leadership instruments: e.g. staff appraisals; event-related appraisals; delegation; feedback etc. …
- Leadership coaching
- Open offers in Stranger Groups and in-house seminars
Team development & group dynamics
To remain dynamic in cooperation, the essence of cooperation must be sought in the interstices; in the interplay of structure and dynamics, in and between groups, in informal events as well as in formal pathways, the levers for the appropriate degree of self-organisation will emerge.
The art of not going against but with resistance corresponds to our attitude and characterises our way of working with groups and teams. Our method of facilitation pays special attention to a balance between self-organised parts and guided sequences. It is important to us that areas of tension and conflicts are contextualised in conjunction with the environment and not addressed in a personalised way. Here we guide with caution and circumspection.
- Team building: workshops for personnel changes; start-ups; reorganisations; for start-ups.
- Team development: workshops in the context of larger transformation processes
- Conflict regulation to (re-)establish the ability to work
- Group-dynamic skills training
- Burnout prevention and crisis intervention in teams
- Team training with action-oriented outdoor methods
Strategy and organisational development
Organisations are constantly undergoing change. Depending on the size of the company, one change follows another or several change processes are underway simultaneously. Here, a sustainable strategy is needed in order not to lose sight of the task at hand.
As process consultants we know the importance of a careful diagnosis and subsequent adequate change communication. In the case of far-reaching change projects, a broad participation of different stakeholders has to be considered in order to guarantee the quality and acceptance of the introduced measures. We work with common tools such as steering and project groups and complement these with proven methods such as leadership and team development. We pay the greatest attention to the management of emotions, because they are crucial for the processing of changes.
- Diagnostic workshops and interviews to clarify the initial situation
- Vision work and future workshops with key persons
- Identification of relevant variables for the appropriate organisational design
- Development of adequate participation processes
- Design of strategy development processes
- Accompaniment of specific phases of change in the life cycle of organisations, e.g.
- Cultural development “from the middle”, when innovative strength is to be strengthened
- Crisis management in growth processes for containment of emotions and to maintain the ability to act
Facilitation
For the facilitation of your event, we provide the appropriate setting that allows you to work on those topics that you want to focus on. In facilitation, we make a clear distinction between retreats, workshops and large group events and address the different dynamics in each case with suitable structures. We ensure the appropriate participation process when it comes to creation and problem-solving, or we focus on resonance and exchange when you want to communicate concepts that are entering the implementation phase. As facilitators, we see ourselves as service providers for the group and look for creative energies for your project.
- Annual, strategy and team retreats
- Executive retreats, large group conferences, e.g. World Cafe, Open Space, Barcamps, …
- Workshops to deepen critical topics
Supervision
Supervision promotes the development of self-competence and self-reflection as well as the handling of imponderables. The goal is to better understand professional situations in individual, team or group discussions and to be able to approach them from a new perspective.
As supervisors, we focus on slowing down what is fast, pause and speed up where and whenever necessary. We dwell on the essentials and relieve burdens through reflection. Together we make room for ambivalences and explore where barriers lie, how they can be overcome and what limits need to be accepted. In doing so, we keep a balanced eye on both your organisation and your staff and, if necessary, involve all internal systems: Managers, neighbouring teams, other departments. As a network, we are available for several processes in parallel.
- Individual supervision
- (Professional) group supervision
- Team supervision; case supervision
- Team and inter-departmental supervision
- Organisational supervision
- Open supervision groups

Coaching
Coaching has established itself as a form of counselling for managers, teams and project groups as well as for career development. Managers use coaching for professional issues that cannot or can only rarely be discussed and worked on with others within their organisation. In order to overcome the ensuing structural loneliness that often accompanies these situations, we also offer settings for organisations to network across teams and departments in order to promote contact and cooperation at the interfaces.
The principle of strengthening personal responsibility is our central guiding principle. We develop concrete strategies for action in cooperation – if necessary in consultation with the supervisor – and accompany their implementation step by step.
We set up the counselling process in a goal-oriented manner within a defined period of time, geared towards the specific questions of our coachees.
