Organizations must face up to the challenges caused by fast-changing business environments on a global level. Leaders of private companies and public institutions alike are forced to meet the demanding requirements of different stakeholder groups. Shareholders urge ever better perfomance and higher profitability, while employees and works councils focus on job security, working conditions and co-determination. Achieving a smooth corporate transformation backed by a managed and moderated change process is imperative if organizations are to overcome these challenges.

We understand, however, that organizational challenges impact each company differently due to unique characteristics and business environments. Working hand in glove with our experts in restructuring and performance improvement, we support the transformation of an organization to achieve higher adaptiveness and sustainable competitiveness. We design the optimal organizational structure, develop a clear HR strategy, manage stakeholders and coach leaders to steer the company safely through the entire transformation.

Our expertise in the field of transformation breaks down into two closely connected areas: Organization, people & transformation is one. Executive communications & stakeholder management is the other. We also support our clients with scenario planning.

Organization, people & transformation

We ensure organizational excellence by transforming a company's strategy, processes, workforce, leadership style and culture. We implement efficient overhead functions - specifically, a state-of-the-art HR function with a modern service delivery model. We deliver workforce management with a proven approach that faciliates negotiations with social partners and measurable P&L effects.

Executive communications & stakeholder management

Today more than ever, success is a matter of perception and not just performance. Organizations and their leaders are scrutinized in a public domain that places a premium on transparency, openness and corporate responsibility. What's more, shareholders and employees – but also the media, public administrations and NGOs – all expect to be involved in decision-making processes at an ever earlier stage. To ensure that a corporate strategy can make it off the drawing board, we support executives as they communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
