MyPeople-and-Results: Affordable and efficient management consultancy for medium-sized companies

The time has finally come: my new consultancy service for small and medium-sized enterprises is launched to provide sound and affordable advice to founders and established SMEs.

My topics: Scaling, merger, business field development

Are scaling, mergers or business development topics that are currently on your mind or will be in the near future? If so, you can arrange a free strategy meeting with me. My wish is to share my know-how with companies that usually do not have enough time, personnel or money to afford a live business consultancy – although they urgently need it.

New Work – a topic for large companies and SMEs

Since the beginning of the pandemic, at the latest, everyone has been talking about “New Work”.

IncompetentLeader

The consequences of absent managers and the effects on employees have therefore already been discussed several times. Today I would like to reflect on what the team can do to make a virtue out of necessity. [Read more…]

Summertime, and the living is easy…

Normally we say goodbye in July and take a well-deserved holiday. But this year, nothing is really normal. Some fearless people will fly off on holidays without changing their plans and thus support the economy of other countries. Others will explore the beauty of their own country this summer and help the local economy. And all of us will be more aware than in previous years that we can enjoy leaving our own four walls and perhaps get a little closer to other people. It may well be a positive side effect of the pandemic that we now value freedom, closeness and contact even more. [Read more…]
