Human resource management as a key lever for sustainably successful business and organizational development.


HR systems and processes are aligned with corporate strategies based on strategic HR development and strategic competence management. This focused handling of all HR factors is an important precondition for sustainable innovative and competitive capabilities.

30 percent of commercial success depends on having the right people in the key positions. The exact fit of executives and the improvement of leadership quality with a modern leadership vision and clear indicators create an essential basis for a successful organization. Exemplary leaders create ideal workforce structures, promote talents and their future successors, retain top performers, and develop innovative visions for a motivating corporate culture.

Demographic trends demand workforce planning to follow more long-term scenarios. The retention of top performers can be enhanced in many ways such as by designing and implementing academy models, defining the right career tracks, etc.

The principles of good business management (corporate governance) demand transparent talent management that accounts for diversity, recruits the leaders of tomorrow, and develops and uses them in the right places. An attractive and authentic employer brand is indispensable for these processes.

We see demographic change for what it really is – an opportunity.


Over the coming decades, Europe’s working age population will shrink by an average of 10 to 20 percent. Though it varies by region and types of expertise, the competition for qualified labour will increase and force businesses to establish an appealing employer brand and professional recruitment concepts.

At the same time, the labour force is aging. The higher average age and increasing presence of employees over the age of 50 (and 60) will require a suitable response: Healthcare management, the right working hours and work concepts, forward-looking HR development, knowledge transfer etc. At the same time, managers need to learn to guide and develop multiple generations in their workforce.

OurServicesThe right mix of measures is needed to safeguard the long-term success of your business:

» Competence-drivenHRplanning:We conduct a focused analysis of your company’s age distribution and map the competences critical for your success to find targets for intervention. We find the right strategies and practical means to avoid future staffing bottlenecks.

» Greateremployerattractiveness: We work with you to define an authentic employer brand and communicate your employer value proposition to your target groups. We give you a social media presence and customize your recruitment strategies and processes to match future demand.

» Talentmanagement:Flexible career tracks and systematic talent management shape the careers of your people and guarantee well-stocked talent pools and the supply of high potentials.

» Knowledgetransfer: Forward-looking HR development means securing the readiness and ability of older members of staff to contribute to the business. By bringing different age cohorts together, you can safeguard, utilize, and spread their knowledge in your organization.

We address the challenges of demographic change with you, effectively and holistically.


The path to a successful corporate culture.


Companies and their managers are facing major challenges in today’s volatile, global markets. In many sectors of industry, long-term plans soon become obsolete as a result of technological innovation, transformed value chains, the rise of IT and the internet, or the changing expectations of clients. Politics and society expect strict compliance with the principles of sustainability, responsibility, and integrity. Generations Y and Z expect a balanced work life with open networks, challenging projects, engaging leadership, and intensive support. All of these changes combine to create a new set of requirements for managers.

OurServicesWe help top managers respond to the challenges of their business by using appraisal and development models and the assessment of executives or talented employees to find the best fit and the best candidates for key functions.

»Potentialappraisals:We assess executives and experts with future-proof job and competence profiles for their current jobs or higher management responsibilities. We compare their competences and potential with external benchmarks and find the right development plans for them. When enforcing important strategic changes or transformations, assessing entire management levels has become a standard approach. We offer all leading procedures from function or industry-specific audits to single and multiple day development centres for high potentials.

»HRdevelopmentprogrammesandleadershiptraining: The systematic expansion of management and leadership skills is an essential step in the growth of junior executives. Their more experienced peers benefit from calibrating their self-perceptions with the aid of feedback from colleagues and insights into best practices. Conducted effectively, workshop-oriented qualification formats on important management functions like leadership and communication, work and problem-solving concepts, strategy, or change management can lead to highly profitable improvements.

»Developmentofleadershipprinciplesandprocesses: The leader’s traditional requirements – guiding employees with targets, appraisals, and potential ratings – have been supplanted in modern business. Apart from elements of transactional leadership, a transformational perspective needs to be expressed in modern leadership principles that cover all processes from performance and compensation to develop-ment and careers. Integrating compensation and talent processes, representing the company’s values, not least in compliance and governance, and filling out an extended vision of the leader’s role (mentor and coach, visionary and change agent) are the activities that make up the new generation of leader-ship, cooperation, and commitment.

Build – Change – Perfect


Most companies are experiencing a constant cycle of change that affects their strategies, core processes, and systems. Fundamental, all-encompassing transformations like mergers or divestment processes often fail because of a one-sided fixation with structural-functional or cultural-behavioural aspects. Only a holistic approach promises sustainable change. OurServicesClearly defined processes, focused management, and the involvement of employees and executives alike in open communication about change form the basis for a successful change process.

» Strategiesandconcepts: We develop project architecture and processes that best suit your unique change or transformation. You benefit from stable processes, best practice solutions, and great involvement in a successful transformation.

»Monitoringandcontrolling: We identify the relevant key performance indicators. We know who is affected and how they feel about the changes. We find the right interventions to support change management. We track the progress of the transformations by measuring successes and risks to manage the process accordingly.

»CoachingforChange: We help all those involved contribute actively and effectively to the change process. This enables your people to implement the intended changes in their unique areas of work. With our Coaching for Change and group-specific training, we equip your people with the methods and tools they need.

»Changecommunication: We design a transparent, motivating, and reliable communication strategy for you. Change processes depend on the public and sustained commitment of top management, but also on people’s emotional sense of identification with the change process. Suitable tools, including intuitive visuals, translate your vision and ambitions for the transformation into a comprehensible message.
