D / Advisory

Four advisory fields

I support companies and their leadership teams. Each field describes a typical starting point, the approach and the result at the end.

Processes across brands

Situation: Processes that have grown over time differ between brands, plants and systems. Handovers between them require a lot of coordination.
Approach: I model the current and target process together with the people who run it every day. Then I accompany the integration into the systems until the target process holds.
Result: A documented target process that runs in the systems and that your team develops further on its own.

Situation: First AI applications are in use in several areas. Open questions remain on how they move into daily operation, who is accountable for their output and how their costs are managed.
Approach: Together we choose the processes in which AI agents can take on work for good. For each one we decide who writes, who reviews, where the cost limit sits and when a person decides. These rules are in daily use in my own AI operation.
Result: An operating model for AI with roles, approvals and cost limits, plus a first process that runs day to day.

Situation: A programme spans several brands and functions. The number of dependencies makes it demanding to prepare decisions in good time.
Approach: I structure the programme around the decisions ahead: who decides what by when, and what a postponement would mean. I work to the Project Management Institute standard, with agile elements where they fit.
Result: Steering in which decisions reach the steering committee well prepared and at the right time.

Situation: A far-reaching decision or a demanding conversation is ahead, and a neutral counterpart outside one's own organisation is helpful.
Approach: Confidential one-to-one sessions, on a fixed rhythm or for a specific occasion, to clarify goals, change perspective and prepare conversations.
Result: More clarity for the next decision and a well-prepared conversation.

D / Formats

Executive sounding board
One-to-one sessions for executives. Confidential, on a fixed rhythm or for a specific occasion.
Diagnosis
A clearly defined assignment with a scope agreed in advance. The result is a decision paper for the responsible committee.
Implementation support
I accompany a programme or a roll-out until your team carries the new process on its own.

Principles

A short message about your topic is enough. I will get back to you personally, usually within one working day.
