Success factors of our change and organizational consulting
What sets us apart: our change model is based on the three success factors of consulting, leadership and our change approach.
Success factor consulting
We combine systemically based organizational consulting and change know-how with industry understanding and expertise in supporting digitaltransformation processes, agile organizational development and restructuring. Empathic consulting with exceptional skills in consensus facilitation and mediation are what set us apart. We design change processes, workshops and interventions in a targeted, results-oriented and at the same time participative way.
Leadership as a success factor
Change is a management task. Successful change processes require committed, responsible and empowered leaders who motivate their teams and take them on the journey together. Through cross-divisional and cross-functional synchronization and simultaneous active engagement of all affected leaders, we break down siloed thinking and ensure early ownership. One-on-one support & empowerment: Through continuous sparring, personal feedback as well as systemic training, we empower key players in participative leadership, facilitation and transparent communication. As bridge builders, multipliers, role models and coaches, they create clarity and trust in their teams and transform any resistance that arises into active participation. The concentrated simultaneous change investment increases the organization’s readiness, speed and ability to change.
Success factor change approach
Successful change processes require an iterative, participative organizational consulting approach with measurable KPIs. Controlled participation: For targeted co-design by managers and employees at various hierarchical levels, it is essential to consciously define the degree of participation. Here we distinguish between co-designing the target image of the change (the “what”) and co-designing the implementation of the change (the “how”). Involvement can take place in three different ways: 1) Information with Q & A , 2) Feedback, 3) Co-Creation. Successful change processes require a strong focus. Measurable change KPIs are anchored in managers’ target agreements and tied to monetary benefits to ensure ownership and the necessary prioritization. Iteration& Agility: We work with four iterations. Feedback loops take place during and at the end of each iteration. Adaptation needs for the target state and the implementation design of the change become visible and flow into the next iteration.
Four iterations in the change process
Our change model consists of 4 iterations for a sustainable and successful change process.
0. analysis status quo
At the beginning of the organizational consulting, our consultants start the in-depth analysis of the current situation together with you.In an initial workshop, we clarify the mission and determine the status quo of the change. For this purpose, we evaluate the possible effects of the change on the basis of the 7 essential elements of an organization according to Friedrich Glasl’ s system concept and derive initial fields of action. Together we identify the Target groups according to the different degrees of affectedness and define their degree of participation . We define change KPIs for executives to measure success and agree on the further course of action .
Qualitative interviews or a written survey of selected or all employees and managers are suitable for a more in-depth analysis. In this way, we anticipate potential challenges across all hierarchical levels and validate the potential impact as well as action areas for successful change implementation.
Pace 1: Synchronization & empowerment of leaders.
By means of cross-functional workshops, we synchronize all affected managers and involve them simultaneously in the co-design of the target picture and the implementation planning. In this way, we reduce emerging resistance, break through obstructive silo thinking, ensure early acceptance of responsibility and create a strong sense of community. Through continuous one-on-one support as well as systemic training, we empower your managers in participative leadership, facilitation and transparent communication to conduct their own workshops and dialogue formats with their teams.
The active involvement of managers as multipliers plays a decisive role in this early phase of defining goals and planning the implementation of concrete measures. Only if managers are actively involved in shaping the future from the outset, will they also support the change goals in their teams.
Pace 2: Team Involvement & Change Communication
We accompany your managers in the implementation of the dialog formats with their employees in the teams, as well as in the involvement of other stakeholders, the works council and the HR department, thus creating trust, acceptance and motivation for the joint journey. We advise you on the planning and implementation of accompanying change communication measures and ensure that you speak with one voice as a company, thus creating understanding and maximum transparency among the workforce.
Pace 3: Piloting & Learning Experience
In the pilot phase , we support the responsible manager in planning and implementing the change in an initial sub-area. We identify potential challenges early, review assumptions about the effectiveness and benefits of change, and gather feedback from relevant stakeholders and affected parties to make improvements. In a retrospective, we evaluate the experiences with the pilot team and synchronize the derivation of improvements and adjustments for the entire organization in cross-functional workshops .
Pace 4: Introduction & Onboarding
We accompany and advise your executives and project groups during the controlled (step-by-step) introduction of the change in the various areas and minimize risks and negative effects. On the one hand, the change measures can be structural, process-related or infrastructural; on the other hand, they can concern learning processes, communication activities and measures to transform resistance . We help you organize and conduct relevant training and provide mediation interventions to help resolve emerging conflicts as early as possible.

If required, we will also be happy to support you with the content design of your communication measures and with the implementation of face-to-face and online events.
Coaching and mediation
In change processes we encounter psychosocial challenges that often lead to inner resistance among managers and employees. Causes can be, for example, unfulfilled personal needs and values or lack of communication and feedback, lack of appreciation or hidden conflicts. Our consultants support you in resolving the resistance by means of coaching, mentoringand mediation.
