„Thanks to Gaby for her contribution in the organizing of a big part of our newly introduced “Lab Space” format at the PM-Summit 2018, our bi-annual Project Management Congress, an event with about 400 participants. Setting up a wide range of more interactive layouts was an innovative concept which lifted our program to the next exciting level. Her experience in organizing and moderating big events, coaching project members as well as her commitment and out of the box thinking helped us a lot to perform a day which was highly valued by the participants. After this experience, we will sure do more of that.“

Change in five steps

A change process is successful if targeted and holistic planning is applied from the beginning.
The project is designed such that tasks are distributed correctly, responsibilities are allocated
and decision making processes are clearly defined.

The time you are willing to invest in the beginning pays off in the end!

As Is Analysis – Understand the Scope

Together we analyse the initial situation and clarify the scope. What change will take place, what the role of the change consultant
and what the change principles will be. Hard and soft fact will be considered in order to understand all stakeholders and their requirements.

Management of Participation

The success of a change project rises with the degree of involvement of the stakeholders at an early stage.
Development of a participation model is key to success. I support you setting up an active dialogue and organizing the collaboration process.

Workshops to Subjects of Change

In workshops we collect all relevant topics by using different interactive methods and sources. The participants are already getting the possibility to actively deal with the new situation. The willingness to participate rises!

Development and Implementation of a Change Architecture

We work out first solution scenarios and develop a step by step roadmap. Based on your input I consider interfaces to other functional and organizational areas and we integrate the change roadmap into the overall project plan.

Reflexion and Quality Assurance

We reflect the progress of the achievements continuously to adapt where necessary. For quality assurance I support you to set up guidelines and a clear process to hand over the new procedures to the line organization. Tools need to be installed to guarantee sustainability of the change in the organization.

My attitude as a change manager is always appreciative, respectful, open and neutral toward all engaged parties.

Possible Applications:

• Strategic Change (i.e., globalization)
• Change of Resources (i.e., introduction of new personnel, processes or technology)
• Change of Structures (i.e., transformation of process and workflow set up)
• Personal Professional Development (i.e., new to the job, promotion, relocation)

Situational and Effective:

Change Management as Pathfinder

Change happens daily – at our workplaces, in families and in our social environment.
It is not always easy to engage in change. We need to trust in your own strength and our willingness to look for different ways or make unfamiliar decisions.

Change Management helps to sustain project goals in the organization.

What is the reason for your change project? What are the general requirements to be defined?

Projects constantly produce changes at various levels –
to well established values and roles, to organizational processes or to the use of known methods.
The attitude and willingness to handle change is key to the success of each of these processes.
The earlier stakeholders are included in the transformational
journey with quality communication, the more effective it will be.

Do you know all stakeholders and their interests?

Who looks after proper execution and pays attention to the new environment?

This requires a clear view on the organization as well as on the cultural aspects of the company.

As Change Manager I will support you throughout all steps of the process.
You benefit from a clear conceptual setting as well as from a neutral, objective partner during the entire course of action.

Together reaching the goal:

Team Coaching motivates everyone

In the beginning is the team. In each phase of the project and each step of a change process the team plays a vital role. Success is mainly driven by the way people communicate in groups, how they solve conflicts and are committed to joint efforts.

Therefore, at the start of each project and each transformation process, it is important to take the team along and put them on the right track.

By using various methods of team development successful teamwork can be achieved. Staff from different organizations, new members or project veterans, stakeholders having other cultural backgrounds will be able to work effectively together.

Team Coaching is clarifying many situations which appear complicated and at a dead-end. It brings back the fun of working together towards the same target and successful project execution proves the team right.

Possible applications:

• During the team forming phase (to develop a robust project structure, a mutual understanding of the project target, or a functioning communication process, to perform collegial advise, to manage conflicts, to lead virtual teams)
• In search of alternatives in critical project situations (caused by schedule delays, cost overrun, conflicts of interest)
• To support reflection and quality assurance (to ensure participation through supervision, optimize processes, transfer know how, communicate lessons learned)

Team Coaching can accompany the on-going project process or pick up and work on singular critical items in suitable workshop setups.

Close to the Heart of the Project:

Individual Coaching

„Communication, scope definition and team qualification are the key factors of success (or failure) of the selected projects”

This is the result of a GPM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement e.V.) study from 2008.

As project manager you have significant influence on all of the stated factors. You have the overall responsibility and a key role in the entire system. You should always have a clear understanding of the project target and the stakeholders involved, be close to the project team, communicating regularly and effectively.

Project Coaching strengthens your abilities to achieve the best possible results. Besides considering technical aspects at all times, you need an eye for the vague and ambiguous matters, you reflect on your own position and situation in the project and are able to discuss all relevant topics with a neutral partner.

Possible applications:

• Taking over a new position (to manage complexity, clarify your own role, understand and meet stakeholder requirements)
• In critical situations (to search for alternatives caused by delays in schedule, lack of resources, conflict of interest)
• In situations of learning and change (to review project target, support change, form and lead virtual teams)

Individual Coaching is beneficial as personal professional development but can also take place during the ongoing project activities.
