For companies · How we work
Specific methods, binding rules, measurable results
We teach methods and ways of working that teams and managers can apply in everyday work from the next day. To do so, the team makes an agreement with three rules, and after six weeks we review together whether it is being followed and has proved its worth.
About half of our methods come from established approaches: from Kanban, sociocracy and agile collaboration, from change management and organisational development, and from work psychology and recovery research. We developed the other half ourselves. For each method we state where it comes from.
Where more than one team is involved, we also advise on roles, responsibilities and meeting and decision-making structures. For every recommendation we check how it affects employees’ everyday work.
In on-site workshops we work with cards, paper and a whiteboard. You do not need any additional software afterwards.
Boundaries
What we deliberately do not offer.
No keynote talks.
Talks convey knowledge but do not lead to an agreement in the team.
No team workshops without the manager.
Agreements in a team need a manager who supports them.
No psychological counselling, no psychotherapy, no health courses.
We teach methods for ways of working, communication, leadership and organisation. If someone needs specialist help, we name suitable specialist services.
No assessment of individual employees.
Our results do not serve as a basis for personnel decisions. Our work requires that teams can speak openly.
No restructuring without involvement.
The employees affected help develop new structures.
For whom
Who we work with.
Teams of 6 to 12 people who can help shape their way of working. Managers who see their own behaviour as part of the solution. HR departments and senior management who want to introduce new ways of working or want support for a change in the company.
Companies with 30 to 300 employees. We work with companies outside Germany online. On-site appointments are currently available in Germany only.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with a fixed model?
No. We bring methods, but no ready-made model. Your teams set the rules themselves, to fit your company.
Can several teams or locations take part?
Yes, including at different locations. For several teams we recommend support over three months: first the leadership programme, then the team workshop for up to three teams. Further teams are added through a block of consulting days.
Do you work on site or online?
With companies outside Germany we work online and adapt the process. On-site appointments are currently available in Germany only. There we prefer to work on site, because we work with cards, paper and a whiteboard. Where needed, we also work online there.
How much time do participants need to set aside?
For the team workshop, one working day and 60 minutes for the review after six weeks. For the leadership programme, two half days and a few minutes a day during the practice phase.
