In an era of exponential change, leaders often search for the “perfect” leadership style, while groundbreaking research shows that it is not the style of leadership that determines success, but the work climate that leaders create.
Successful business model
Business Model Development
Business Model Development is essentially the systematic process of designing, testing and implementing how an organization creates, delivers and retains value. This goes beyond simply developing new products or services.
Successful business model development not only results in improved business results, but also creates lasting organizational capacity for innovation and adaptation. It is about building an organization that is not only successful today, but also prepared for tomorrow’s challenges. Here, the following factors are critical:
Our approach is rooted in scientifically validated frameworks such as the Business Model Canvas, which provides a solid foundation for every intervention. By systematically going through an iterative process of testing and refinement, we ensure that each step is thoughtful and effective. This methodical approach is supported by continuous monitoring of results and market changes, allowing us to make timely adjustments and optimizations. The result is a reliable process that delivers measurable improvements while remaining flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances.
An innovative mindset is at the core of our approach, where we actively seek new possibilities and perspectives. We consciously challenge existing assumptions and encourage teams to think outside established frameworks, guarding the balance between creative innovation and practicality. This approach, inspired by our “Gabba Gabba Hey!” value, creates an environment in which innovation can flourish without losing sight of reality. This combination of creativity and pragmatism creates solutions that are both innovative and implementable.
Our customer-centric approach begins with developing a deep understanding of our customers’ needs and challenges. Through active co-creation with all relevant stakeholders, we ensure that solutions are not only theoretically strong, but also practically valuable. We consciously invest in long-term relationships with our clients, looking beyond quick fixes and focusing on sustainable results. This authentic commitment enables us to act as a true strategic partner and add lasting value to the organizations we work with.
Developing adaptive capability is essential in today’s dynamic business environment. We therefore deliberately build in feedback loops that enable organizations to respond quickly and effectively to market changes. By fostering organizational agility, we help teams not only respond to change, but anticipate and embrace it. This focus on adaptability is supported by our international experience and diverse team background, allowing us to help organizations continuously adapt to new challenges and opportunities.

40% more sales growth: the scientifically proven ROI of climate investment
Organizational climate
Organizations who strategically invest in their innovation climate experience transformative results that many times exceed the initial investment. This return on investment manifests itself in increased employee engagement, accelerated innovation cycles and increased organizational resilience.
Organizational climate as an engine for innovation and change
Organizational climate
In a world where innovation makes the difference between being ahead and being left behind, organizations are searching for the secret formula for sustainable innovation. The answer lies not in complex strategies or expensive technologies, but in something much more fundamental: the daily organizational climate that employees experience. Scientific research shows that organizations with a consciously developed innovation climate achieve up to 40% more sales growth and perform 3.5 times better in their markets.
The power of cognitive diversity: smart teams, stronger organizations
Problem-solving styles
When team members face the same problem but choose completely different solution directions, it looks like chaos – but it is actually one of the most powerful competitive advantages a team can possess. This cognitive diversity in problem-solving styles, scientifically measurable through the VIEW assessment, is key to resilient teams that excel in complex, changing environments. Organizations who consciously value and strategically leverage these differences transform potential frustration into measurable innovativeness and sustained team performance.
From intuition to systematic innovation
Facilitation
Innovation was long considered a mysterious process – a flash of genius for a few. This romantic notion has given way to a more pragmatic approach. Today, we know that successful innovations come from systematic processes that structure creativity. This transformation from intuitive to methodical innovation determines which companies thrive in a world of constant change.
