Consulting & Coaching for businesses facing change

Change in a business describes a change in action (new ways of working, new ways of handling tasks and processes etc.) with effects on the way of thinking and feeling for people inside the company.  

Change can happen reactively or it can be shaped proactively. Often times change projects are set up to adopt new ways of working related to activities and processes within the company. The idea behind this is often to be better able to cater for client demands and preferences.
This often implies that the requirements for teams and individuals change - both in terms of competences and ways of working. As a rule of thumb: The greater the change related to the Status Quo the more challenging the change for the company.

Here you can find examples of change projects in companies in which I have been involved.  

Coaching can help businesses in transformation on the level of the team and on the level of individual team members. It's a way to shape change rather than to react to it.

Often times employees reject the change or part of the change. That's why a clear strategy for change is so essential. Coaching is often used as a key element in change as no other method is as close to the fears, rejections, worries but also the wishes, goals and opportunities of those effected by the change. Transformations in companies are always a cognitive and emotional processing - Coaching helps to positively shape this process.

Companies change to stay relevant.

If a company would decide to not change at all it would drop out of the market within month (in high paced industries) or decades (slow paced industries). The main reason for companies to change is thus their own survival in the market.

Specific drivers for companies to change can be new technologies (e.g. a switch to electronic signatures). Other drivers can be changing customer preferences (e.g. an increased focus on more environmentally friendly production processes or a preference for regional products with short supply chains). Another driver can be related to changing values for new leadership personelle that leads to a change in the way new talents apply for jobs. 

Without any change in companies there won't be any progress.

Companies that try to stick to the Status Quo for too long end up running into a relevance problem. 
That doesn't mean everything needs to change. Instead, it's all about finding a balance between  preserving and changing that fits to the business, company culture and client preferences. 
To regularly change without losing ones core is a proven change strategy.

With 3A I focus on the human aspects of change in companies.

Using 1:1 Coachings, team coaching and consulting services plus a dedicated training program I support companies to successfully realize their change projects.   
You can find out more about myself on the About3A page.

I have experience with change projects in companies working with individuals and teams. 

Through my work for various highly recognized clients I have experienced many times of change. In addition, I have several years of experience as a management consultant in the DACH region and UK. In addition I shape my own progress and continously educate myself to meet my client's demands.

I support and shape change in companies with my coaching approach. 

Depending on the project scope I work with renowned partner companies or as a One-Man show. 
My project assignments typically last between 3 and 24 month and are a mix of on-site work and working remotely.
Those who are interested in more details on some of my projects are welcome to check out my Case-Studies. 

With 3A I especially care about change for people and teams.

I enjoy working with leadership teams as well as with subject matter experts. My projects are typically related to management, sales or procurement or there is a more general topic such as changes in company culture, image change or digitization. Often times it can also be a combination of several aspects, e.g. an image change in sales or a change related to a new IT solution or a digital process in a department. My role is always as a Coach or consultant and not as a technical expert.

For me incremental change is the best way forward for companies.

I think that incremental change is the best type of change for companies as many small steps can lead to big improvements. A radical change might be able to achieve the same in just one step, but this type of change implies much more risk and can easily overwhelm people. Furthermore, incremental change send the message that change is not a "one time thing", but a continuous and natural process. 

The 3A success factors for change in companies are:

1. Vision & goals of the change are communicated emotionally and rationally.
   
   
2. Leadership teams show a positive attitude towards the change.
   
   
3. Teams and individuals receive enough freedom to actively participate in shaping change. 

The basic principles of change apply to all industries, but speed of change varies.

Nevertheless there are industry specific differences that need to be considered. It's important to take a company's current Status Quo into account. The more an industry is changing, the more a given company in that industry needs to transform itself. On top of that it's important to take regional differences into account.
