I support you with a scientifically informed consulting approach based on evidence and research, which provides you with comprehensive expertise and methodical support in the design and realization of innovative and unique solutions.
A consulting project usually comprises the following collaborative processes:
- Clarifying the assignement and framing the problem
- Analyzing and diagnosing the problem
- Designing the solution and the change
- Intervening and learning from interventions
- Reflecting and evaluating
"For change management to be successful, it is important that the strategy and the necessary changes are tangible for every team member. With his experience, empathy and methodological knowledge, Patrick Sailer was a key person in ensuring this "tangibility" and contributed to the successful implementation of the IT transformation. The personal sparring sessions were also always enriching and provided different perspectives for solving even the most complex challenges."
