10 YEARS
CONSULTING IMPACT

In 2013, a handful of people decided to found a company from a loose association of like-minded consultants. The reason for this was and still is our motivation to accompany and support companies in their transformation. This works better in a permanent team, because transformation requires common values, clear principles of success and goal-oriented methods.

In the past ten years we have been able to accompany many people in companies in their change processes and learn together with them: How can agile methods become the new standard repertoire? How does self-organization succeed? How does New Work actually work? How are we all becoming more digital year after year? How do we remain a community despite all individual flexibility? Co-creation is and will remain an integral part of the way we work. We use proven approaches, but do not prescribe generic recipes. We go beyond PowerPoint change and develop the change together with the people in the company.

Our principles have remained stable: we see ourselves as partners of our clients and everyone at Consulting Impact works together in a spirit of partnership – regardless of role and experience. Impact is in our company name because we want to make a real, measurable difference in the work we do with our clients. That’s how all of us at Consulting Impact measure up. We live innovation, because the world of work can be shaped now. Internationality is something that distinguishes us and gives us satisfaction. If we can build bridges between people of different cultures, we have made a small contribution.

In 2023, 30 women and men work with Consulting Impact. We are all very different in terms of our experience, our backgrounds and our lifestyles. And that is a good thing. We all share the joy of working with people and making an impact on the business.

The past ten years have been turbulent with personal ups and downs, a lot of growth and development, a pandemic, a war in Europe and a global energy crisis. We do not hope for further crises, but we assume that it will remain turbulent. And we are determined to continue to help shape the world of work.

Coaching

Our coaching understanding is based on the fact that change is “normal”.

Even though people like to contribute their performance and potential in a value-creating way, unconscious processes often make sustainable behavioral change difficult. 

By promoting self-reflection and self-awareness in coaching, our clients self-directedly expand their scope of action and develop their own future-oriented solutions.

In the professional context, we thus create a value-free, safe space and jointly analyze complex situations and contexts for new perspectives.

Companies need a clear purpose and strategy. Organizational forms that skillfully combine stability and flexibility. A corporate culture and competencies that deal with constant uncertainty and change. Leadership that develops strategy and culture.

We are your partner on the long haul to shape these elements. With a deep understanding of organizations and a sharp diagnostic eye, we work with you to identify your potential. Involving your employees and leaders, we unleash energy for growth.

Learning

  • Coaching
  • Resilience training

My passion

I am inspired when the resilience of the individual as well as the team grows through overcoming crises and when success is combined with joy in working together through psychological security.

Our ability to adapt to constantly and ever more rapidly changing circumstances is essential for survival. The key competence for this is resilience and this can be trained. It leads to an inquisitive attitude, Growth Mindset, which allows us to accept the challenges of the time and grow precisely because of it. Teams and ideas thrive in trusting and joint cooperations. This requires critical reflection and a “know why”. Arousing enthusiasm for spiraling growth processes has contagious potential.

Mental Health Awareness is the best prevention of stress-associated illness and my essential demand on modern, people-oriented work environments.

My “Wellbeing Formula”: Mental Health = Resilience through Coping with Change & Challenge & Overcoming Crisis through “Growth-Mindset” Attitude in an Atmosphere of Psychological Safety.

Team Development

Today our world is changing faster, the challenges for teams are getting bigger and thus the efficient and purposeful cooperation within teams is getting more and more important. 

For team development there are tons of theoretical models as a basis, yet we are convinced that it is important for teams today to know their goals, their purpose and identity and to have all the competencies they need to achieve their goals. 

The basis for the cooperation is a trustful cooperation, that everyone in the team has the possibility to live his or her identity. 

To create this and to ensure the best support of the team, results from the team dynamics, which for us gives all the indications for the appropriate interversion, in order to represent a good communication, collaboration and efficient cooperation with clear committent for the goal achievement. 

For this purpose, we provide impartial advice and support the teams on their way. Every team is different, and picking up the teams where they are is one of the success factors for a successful collaboration.

  • All-party consulting and support of disciplinary teams, project teams, cross-functional teams.
  • Facilitation and moderation of team workshops and events. 
  • Team coaching and support of the development process through all phases.
  • Moderation of retrospectives and feedback events. 
  • Support in the strategic alignment and implementation of the corporate culture in the team.

Success Factors for Teams in Hybrid Work Environments

How We Combine The Best of Both Worlds in a Meaningful Way

Dominik Bachmair

Come to stay. Hybrid is the new normal

Before the pandemic, working in the office was normal. During the pandemic, home office was our normal. And now it’s both. We call it hybrid working: we do one part in the office and the other part flexibly and remotely. This poses major challenges for all companies. While no one wants to give up the benefits of virtual and flexible working, everyone realizes that it doesn’t work without a physical presence either. So how do we shape the new hybrid working world to harness the benefits?

Everything Starts with the Right Question

Most companies are discussing one question right now: how many days do employees need to be in the office? 2 days? 3 days? Flexible? We think this is the wrong question. After all, what’s the point of having employees in the office, but locked in and only participating in video conferences? Nor is it helpful if everyone is flexible, but this means that collaboration no longer takes place. The question must be different: for which activities is face-to-face work better suited and when are virtual and flexible working models better suited and applicable? And how do teams solve the challenges of the hybrid world?

4 Challenges in Hybrid Working Environments

Challenge Connectedness: Remote work has a negative impact on our sense of belonging and can weaken team identity. As a result, turnover can increase. Hybrid High Performance Teams spend sufficient time and work specifically on relationship and trust.

Challenge Coordination: As we are less often together in one place, the organization of collaboration within the team and with key stakeholders becomes more difficult. Hybrid high performance teams work much more methodically.

Challenge Complexity: The flexibility of hybrid working increases complexity in the organization. This is especially true for communication. Today, there are many more channels, formats and target groups. Teams get lost in the possibilities. Hybrid high-performance teams therefore have a clear communication set-up.

Ego Challenge: Hybrid working promotes concentration on individual interests. One’s own work-life balance becomes important at the expense of the team’s interests. Hybrid high performance teams therefore have a clear business focus and a framework for action.

What do Hybrid High Performance Teams do differently?

… driven by a business mission. In hybrid work environments, teams work more flexibly and decentrally. To prevent a team from falling apart, it needs a clear framework for action. This consists of a common mission, clear priorities, team goals and individual goals.

… coordinates team-work efficiently. Hybrid High Performance Teams do the right things in the right set-up. They have regular face-to-face meetings, especially for strategy work, goal setting, team building and feedback. For everything else, they use virtual meetings, but they are very efficient and always focused.

… invests in learning and development. The hybrid working world is new. We all have a lot to learn. Hybrid high-performance teams don’t design learning as a hobby, but pursue it professionally. They have team retrospectives 2-4 times a year, they know the future competencies relevant to them and develop them in a targeted manner, and they learn to deal with the challenges of the hybrid world together.

… communicates openly. Transparency and feedback are central to the success of a team. Virtual communication platforms offer a variety of opportunities to share important information. Feedback is institutionalized methodically and with tools.

… builds trustful relationships. Hybrid High Performance Teams recognize that their success is also due to the quality of the relationship. They therefore invest specifically in trust building and team building. More often than before, they meet off-site to work on themselves.

Learning Journey

Formats For A New Working World

Dr. Stephanie Metz

Away from school-based learning – towards independent and collaborative learning

We want to create impact in learning and development programs. Classic training or leadership curricula no longer served the purpose for us here. That is why we have implemented and experimented with learning journeys in many different companies. Learning journeys are a combination of different learning formats. They form a framework in which participants learn both independently and with each other. You design your own journey. In the attached PDF as a download, we have made available, how this can also happen successfully in the virtual space.

Challenge: Virtual Learning Journeys

Cognitive Overload – Virtual formats invite cognitive knowledge transfer – reflection of attitude issues and emotional work become difficult. Holding Attention – The participants are busy elsewhere! Virtual learning tempts people to get distracted and thus quickly lose their attention. Binge-Learning – The participants let themselves be sprinkled! Content is consumed without actively dealing with it and getting involved. Engagement and personal responsibility are missing. To meet these challenges, we work with different design approaches for virtual learning journeys.

Flipped Classroom – The theory and impulses for concrete topics are made available via various formats BEFORE a joint virtual meeting (e.g. in the form of readers, videos, podcasts). In this way, a common theoretical basis can be created in advance, which can be worked on in a self-directed manner, independent of location and time.  The time spent together in the webinar can thus be used for experimentation, reflection and application.

Social Learning – Learning together, sharing experiences, and participating in the experiences of others must be consciously planned in the virtual space and specifically integrated into a learning journey. Properly designed, various social learning formats have an immense professional and interpersonal impact. For these formats to work virtually, very clear and detailed didactic instructions are important. We primarily use networking and peer group work here.

Analogue/Emotional Formats – In order to consciously address the relationship level in virtual learning journeys, we use analogue methods, e.g. picture stories. After reading an article, for example about the Growth Mindset, participants are given the task of finding pictures that symbolize the core of the theory. They then share these pictures with the group in the next webinar. On the one hand, this makes abstract concepts vivid and concrete, and on the other, people share something personal in the group. This creates an atmosphere of openness in which emotional aspects can also be shared. Another method that works in a similar way is storytelling. Participants prepare and tell a personal story about the topic of the learning journey.

Nudging – small nudges in the course of a learning journey – is proving to be a suitable method for maintaining the attention and engagement of participants throughout a virtual learning journey and thus increasing the effectiveness of learning. It is the necessary glue that holds the other elements together.

Field Report External Peer Reflection

A New Kind of Leadership Development

Dominik Bachmair

Learning With and From Each Other

Our working world is changing dynamically – the need to build new competencies is clear. Many managers want to further develop their leadership skills, to prepare themselves for these very challenges of the working world. But the question is how? Most have already been in the leadership curricula of their companies and received basic training. That’s a good foundation, but it doesn’t provide the answers to executives’ questions by a long shot. Cross-company programs can be the next step. This is where multiple companies from different industries work together. External Peer Reflection is a program jointly hosted by seven companies from southern Germany.

How Does the External Peer Reflection Work

24 managers from six companies, a joint program for experience exchange and collegial consultation. The External Peer Reflection consists of the following elements:

  • Kick Off Meeting in presence: all 24 participants come together, get to know each other and the method of collegial consultation.
  • Mid Year: the coach gives impulses to deepen the coaching competencies and to lead transformations. The whole group works on real cases.
  • Closing: networking takes place once again in the whole group and the learnings are anchored.
  • The Reflecting Teams: self-organized groups of 6 that conduct collegial consultations and meet between the modules at the respective companies.

What is Special About the External Peer Reflection

People make the difference. 24 leaders sharing similar challenges, advising each other and benefiting from each other’s experiences.

An open and trusting atmosphere. We create a framework in which participants can open up more easily. After all, if you don’t meet again the next day in a company meeting, you dare to be more open and thus accelerate your own learning process.

Both the coach and the method provide more depth. It should not just be a chat – the collegial consultation helps the managers to go into depth and thus make the joint work more fruitful for everyone.
