Coaching
​
Professionalism at work means doing the right things in the right way. This is an ambitious goal, but also a realistic one. In order to meet these requirements, we provide specialists and managers with the opportunity to confront the specific challenges of their professional role.
​
Coaching fosters personal development in a professional context. Coaching is a particularly intensive form of learning and allows you to make substantial improvements to your working practices.
​
The main function of coaching off-the-job is to provide the opportunity to reflect on and plan alternative courses of action. The coaching process is at its most effective when complemented by coaching on-the-job during which the coach accompanies the coachee in real-life situations to deliver relevant feedback.
​
Depending on the goals set with our clients, we provide the following forms of coaching:
​
-
individual coaching
-
group coaching
-
team coaching
-
monitoring the introduction of peer counselling
​

Management training

Managers in their role as superiors take a decisive function in the success of their employees. They serve as role models, whether willingly or unwillingly. Their conduct and attitudes influence the behavior of their employees and so determine the success of the company.
​
We create a learning environment in our management training courses, which brings together intellectual, interpersonal, and practical skills. Managers who can see the effect they have on colleagues and who are willing to take a positive lead in using the full repertoire of management tools, will also be able to motivate others in performing exceptional tasks.
​

Methodological training
​
The success of your activity depends in no small part on the methodology you use. To work efficiently and effectively you need to do the right things in an adequate way. Equally, methodological know-how is only worthwhile if those seeking to apply it can integrate it directly into their own working practices.
Our training provides you with the methodology skills relevant to your existing knowledge and attitudes.
This means that we take a practical approach and we consider the requirements of the particular field.
The only way to gain real experience in applied methodology is to put it into practice, which is why our integrated methodology training provides ongoing and varied practice opportunities.
We provide methodology seminars on the following topics:
​
-
Conflict management

Negotiating skills

Problem solving techniques

Project management training
​
In times of rapid change, project management and multi-project management provide structured methods for flexible, objective oriented activities.
We help you to develop and implement guidelines for effective project management. We analyze your regulatory requirements and recommend tried and tested methods and tools. We then use training sessions and workshops to share this knowledge both with project leads, sub-project leads and project team members, as well as with project owners responsible for contracting out projects and line managers designating employees to work as part of the project team.
In every aspect of our consulting role, we are committed to the standards specified by recognized institutions such as the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement e.V. (GPM), the International Project Management Association (IPMA), and the Project Management Institute (PMI)
