Connecting People, Technologies, Processes, and Organizations

I combine technical expertise in product development with strategic capabilities in organization design and process excellence.

Holistic solutions instead of isolated fixes: You optimize your entire development organization, processes, and project execution—not just individual problems.

Strong teams, effective leadership: Through targeted coaching, your managers become drivers of change.

Faster to success: Shorter time-to-market, reduced costs, and products that are technically excellent, manufacturable, and market-ready.

One partner for all areas: I speak the language of sales, engineering, operations, and executive leadership—for initiatives that are technically sound, implementable, and economically successful.

My Approach

A comprehensive analysis is conducted through structured interviews, review of process documentation, and examination of existing data. A SWOT analysis identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, followed by systematic identification of problem areas and their interdependencies. Detailed root cause analysis reveals the underlying drivers of challenges, ensuring solutions address real issues rather than surface-level symptoms.

Problem areas are prioritized based on impact and urgency, with corrective measures defined and evaluated for identified root causes. In parallel, growth opportunities and potential are systematically examined and prioritized according to strategic value. Prerequisites and success criteria are established for both problem resolution and opportunity realization to ensure measurable outcomes and effective resource allocation across all initiatives.

Target visions and future scenarios are developed and evaluated against defined success criteria and organizational constraints. The preferred implementation scenario is selected and prepared for decision-making at the appropriate leadership level. Once approved, the chosen scenario is translated into clear communication materials tailored for stakeholder engagement across the organization, ensuring alignment and buy-in for the transformation ahead.

A transformation team is established and equipped with the necessary skills and mandate. Together, a detailed implementation plan is developed, including milestones, targets, timelines, and resource allocation (budget and capacity). If desired, ongoing support and coaching can be provided throughout the execution phase to ensure sustained momentum and successful achievement of objectives.
