"Zeit, dass sich was dreht"
("time to get things moving")
(Herbert Grönemeyer)

Globalisation, digitalisation, demographic change and war for talent present enormous challenges for companies of all sizes.
To become meaningful and soulful workplaces, companies need to invest in strategy, structures and culture so that people are able to show their talent, are included and can contribute to an organization.
To my mind, providing purpose, empowering people, giving autonomy, flexibility and transparency are essential cornerstones on this journey.
Through my professional experience in HR/talent management, as well as my scientific know-how based on my university education and research, I can proficiently advise you on these topics.
