What does leading in the VUCA or BANI world mean today?
How can organizational change & transformation succeed?
Which organisational culture and which mindset is needed?
How can we develop our mindset - individually, in our teams and collectively as an organization?
“The automation of work and the digital disruption of business models place a premium on leaders who can create a vision of change and frame it positively.”
“An organization’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage”
Your challenge
How do you get the organization to embrace and promote the necessary change? How do you grow your, the leadership team’s and employees capabilities to make change happen? How can you overcome resistance and barriers to change? How can you build a diverse and creative team that can reach better decisions? How you can set up an organization with the capacity to talk about the future and act on it? How can you make buzzwords like “an agile organization” “emotional leadership with values”, “systemic leadership with purpose”, “ecosystem thinking”, the “entrepreneurial network organisation” a reality?
The leader's role
What is the changing role of a leader? Old hierarchies and processes work less and less in a rapidly changing, non-linear, uncertain and brittle world. Stakeholders, young talents, and the planetary boundaries demand change and new ways of thinking, feeling, and acting in the world. Responsibility (literally our ability to respond) has to be re-thought. We can only thrive if we move to a more decentralised way of operating, where the leader becomes a landscape gardener, cultivating an ecosystem, bringing together the best talent and empowering them, helping them to grow, develop and mature - so they can take more responsibility in a more decentralised way of operating.
To unlock the individual & organizational potential space, leaders need to be able to create a vision of where this is all going and get people’s buy-in - the task of effective, motivating and inspiring communication. Processes become co-creative at eye-level. Teams become places of psychological safety, trust and belonging, which is the precondition for productivity and performance. The organzation becomes a living, organic, unfolding system that can withstand the shocks and disruptions that come its way.
If you’d like to move your leadership and your organization into this direction we’re there to support you in that endeavor.

Kind words from others:
“Christoph worked as a Lean Delivery Agent at zanox. When he joined zanox, he made it very clear that he wanted to progress and provide help to the working environment in order to create a culture which nurtures talent and facilitates major achievements. Looking back, he has succeeded. He coached the organization to continuously advance and challenged, optimized and defined processes. He did this across departments, always searching for the bigger goal. He, together with the team, shaped the engineering culture at zanox towards a sustainable collaborative kaizen culture. He helped implement the Kanban Method and created a high performance organization. I would highly recommend working with him.”
“I worked together with Christoph as Lean Delivery Agent at zanox. From the first day he impressed me with his energy, his ambition and his will to improve things that can be improved. Christoph built relations to people from teams and departments across the company, thinking out of the box, to understand how the organization works and where its strengths and weaknesses are. He was always eager to learn and to share his knowledge. Working with him was really a great experience.
So if you are looking for an Agile guy, bringing your organization to speed with a lot of enthusiasm I can wholeheartedly recommend him!”
