Get in touch

Complex technical and wicked socio-technical problems become manageable. You notice dependencies where others see unpredictable chaos. You see multiple paths towards a resolution of a technical challenge. And you can explain them to your team. We work with your real case, so you can apply results from the very first sessions.

Most trainings have curricula which are designed for various attendees with different needs. They give you some generic information and build some capabilities on basic examples. Instead, we take your specific system or a team as a case and work with it throughout the whole programme. You don't just learn new things, you solve a task you have to solve anyway.

After the first talk we will outline your situation, your goal and define the next few steps. After that, the mentoring goes for several weeks, ideally 8 to 10. We have a meeting every week. Each week we discuss your learnings from the past week and learn a new approach. During the week, you apply the approach and dive into additional materials. Our meetings can be on-site or online, depending on your preference.

I sell results, not hours. Still, my fee per session is always the same, so it is easy to predict how much our work will cost. The exact price is dependent on what you want to achieve, which we clarify together during our first conversation.

With teams I usually start with a keynote which sparks a discussion. As a result, leadership can focus their query. The next two logical steps are either a 1:1 mentoring or an interim leader for a specific socio-technical task. For individuals I have a sounding board service and a 1:1 technical leadership mentoring. We will identify the best approach for you during the first call.

If you're looking for a quick workaround, a checklist or a nicely sounding x-steps framework, I cannot help you. Yes, there will be checklists and frameworks. But at the core of our joint work is a new way of thinking and action. Yes, you learn new things from the first session. But the craftsmanship requires several weeks. You also will need to apply what you have learned, every week. If you are ready for that, it's the match.

Everything stays between us. Including the fact of our work. If required, we can sign a formal NDA. All the feedback and testimonials you find on my website are explicitly permitted for publishing by their owners.

If you are employed, you can use both your project budget (because we work with your specific challenge) and your personnel development budget (because you learn new skills). I provide an invoice for you that you can process with your respective leadership. If you need a complimentary document with an explicit description of the service, I can provide it, too. If you're self-employed or are in a leadership position yourself, the invoice goes to your business.

As a control systems engineer, I use my knowledge to understand the technical side of the challenge. My managerial background helps me with the social aspect. As for problem-solving methods, I rely on TRIZ and design thinking. Systems engineering methods extend my technical leadership toolbox, while microsociology helps with first principles of team dynamics.
