Digitalization, New Work and Sustainability are the central elements of a future-oriented business transformation strategy.

Shaping a digital world

We view digitalization not only in terms of a technology phenomenon, but as a transformative change with great potential for creating new qualities. We will work together with you to develop your culture and unlock this potential.

We are already focusing on the “next level of New Work.”

Society and organizations are reinventing themselves. Solutions are being developed cooperatively, preserving what is good and leaving behind what is no longer goal-oriented. Our holistic perspective allows us to create customized approaches that reach beyond fashionable trends and are specifically tailored to your business.

Ensuring tomorrow’s success through sustainable business management today.

Sustainable companies achieve greater success over the long term and contribute to a worthwhile society. We provide support in designing transformative change. This entails collaborating with your executives to develop the abilities that are vital for survival in the future.

Our Portfolio

Transformation

Digital Transformation

+

Digital Transformation

Digital transformation is fundamentally changing companies and offers the opportunity to make work processes more efficient and collaboration future-proof. Our consulting services focus directly on the core values and identity of your company in order to provide strategic and sustainable support for digitalization.

With practical transformation formats, we support managers and teams in successfully implementing digital changes. Whether strategy development, process optimization or cultural change – our 6K Digital Transformation Framework provides orientation and controls the most important dimensions of digital transformation in a targeted manner: Clarity, Customer, Coordination, Skills, Communication and Culture.

Digitalization is more than just technology – it requires a new mindset, clear structures and an agile corporate culture. Our individual consulting services not only create more efficient processes, but also future-oriented business models and strong teams that actively shape change.

Cultural Development

+

Cultural Development

Corporate culture is not an image factor for external communication or a decorative accessory. Corporate culture has a significant impact on productivity and business success.

What makes your company tick? Which patterns hinder and which factors inspire effective interaction? How does it affect the motivation of employees and managers? How does it influence interaction with customers?

We work with you to analyze the culture in your company and discover potential and suitable starting points for successful further development.

Organizational Development

+

Organizational Development

For us, organizational development (OD) is more than just adapting structures and hoping for synergies. Modern OD is the catalyst for future-proof corporate development. It promotes management skills and a desire to learn and networks potential at all levels, from trainee to C-level.

We enable companies to create constructive approaches to the challenges of our time through active organizational development.

Strategy Work

Systemic Strategy Work

+

Systemic Strategy Work

We usually associate the word strategy with long-term orientation and stable planning. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear (keyword: VUCA) that this is a continuous and iterative process.

It is important to adjust the direction, route and goal at ever shorter and at the same time not too short intervals; to provide a framework and stay on course flexibly.

Another essential element of systemic strategy work is that strategy development and implementation are considered together from the outset: Strategy is embedded in change and cultural work.

Strategy Implementation

+

Strategy Implementation

Successful strategy implementation requires more than just a plan. The ability to react to market changes, provide clear orientation and promote a corporate culture that actively shapes change is crucial.

At Köhninger, we help your company to make strategy tangible and implementable – with practical measures, transparent communication and the active involvement of employees. In doing so, we create the framework for an ongoing development process that understands strategy as continuous learning and anchors changes at an operational, strategic and cultural level. The result is a learning organization that reacts flexibly to change, continues to develop and achieves its strategic goals in the long term.

Strategy Competence

+

Strategy Competence

Even the best strategy needs people who can actively manage it. Companies that (further) develop their strategic management skills in a targeted manner create the basis for forward-looking decisions, confident action in complex environments and sustainable strategic management.

At Köhninger, we support your company in developing precisely these skills. Through practical learning processes, structured exchange and targeted support, we make strategic work understandable and applicable. Our approach helps to make existing potential visible, strengthen strategic management skills and promote a culture in which strategy is not only understood, but actively shaped. The result: an organization that shapes its own future – with clarity, autonomy and the ability to navigate safely even in uncertain times.

Leadership

Coaching & Team Development

+

Coaching & Team Development

Managers and teams face new challenges every day. Whether it’s personal development, role strengthening or more efficient collaboration – our coaching and team development formats offer targeted support.

Coaching on the job is one of our most effective coaching formats: Through practical feedback, shadowing in meetings or moderated peer coaching, managers receive valuable impetus for their further development. Reflection and new perspectives strengthen personal skills quickly and sustainably.

At the same time, team development is a key success factor for productive collaboration. Whether kick-off, pit stop or problem-solving session – the development of a team has many occasions and faces. Decisive elements such as communication, cooperation, a culture of conflict and the constructive handling of diversity have a significant influence on a team’s performance.

The combination of individual coaching and targeted team development not only creates strong leaders, but also successful teamwork. Because effective leadership and functioning team structures go hand in hand.

Leadership Program

+

Leadership Program

Successful companies know that leadership quality is demonstrated by the right combination of leadership and management skills. There is considerable potential here in response to the current and future challenges of digitalization and transformation.

For us, leadership development and leadership culture are two sides of the same coin. We enable people to be effective in their leadership role and companies to develop a leadership culture that sets the framework and reflects values and spirit. We support managers in tackling growing challenges in dealing with complexity and dilemmas, continuous change and uncertainty.

New Leadership-Manifest

+

New Leadership-Manifest

Leadership is changing – new requirements, increasing complexity and social changes call for new attitudes and skills. Successful leadership today means taking responsibility, providing orientation and shaping relationships effectively – beyond roles and hierarchies.

At Köhninger, we support your company in rethinking leadership and making it fit for the future. The New Leadership Manifesto serves as a source of inspiration for a value-based, (systemically) reflective and at the same time adaptable leadership approach. With this approach, we empower managers to act effectively, connect people and take responsibility for people, organizations and society.
