European Production Excellence

Vor-Ort-Beratung
Individual Consulting

Every production site has its own peculiarities and problems. That’s why standard solutions don’t help. Together, we discuss where the problem lies, and which issues need to be addressed. Is it the path to the end-to-end supply chain? The management culture? Or an investment or maintenance plan that finally needs to be implemented? Methods from the area of lean management, positive leadership and diversity management are used here.

Online Programs

Managers in industrial production have no time. They have to be available around the clock. That’s why I offer online programs for diverse managers and leaders of diverse teams that are independent of time and location. So that they can define meaning and goals for themselves before tackling the same task with their teams.

Creating a Network

In small and medium-sized companies in particular, various managers lack one thing: a network. Other people who are like them. People who can inspire them or simply have a sympathetic ear. As part of my online programs, I offer a European exchange platform for diverse managers. Here you can talk about positive leadership, diversity management or simply about the little pitfalls of everyday production.

Process Support

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” I only subscribe to this quote from Peter Drucker to a limited extent. Ideally, the two go together. The culture often only comes through the process, and the strategy then becomes clearer. For all those who think that their company has no strategy anyway: Don’t worry. Together we will find the site strategy and also establish a process to continuously implement and improve it.

Operational
Excellence

The demands placed on companies are changing rapidly. Rising raw material and fixed costs are putting pressure on margins, and downsizing should not be the way out – you may even have already had to take this painful step. The challenge now is to make processes more efficient, flexible and robust in order to survive in the new reality. Or have you already introduced lean methods, but the hoped-for results have not materialised? This is exactly where I come in.

As an expert in operational excellence, my goal is to work with you to create flow and connection – within your value chain, between your employees and in our collaboration. Because I am convinced that sustainable improvements can only be achieved if processes interact harmoniously and the people who control them are connected and coordinated.

My offer at a glance:
1. operational excellence introduction: At a time when conventional approaches are reaching their limits, I offer you customized solutions that get your processes flowing. Using proven methods and tools, we work together to optimize processes, increase efficiency and reduce costs. The focus is not only on the technical side, but also on how your teams work together. The aim is to create a strong connection that puts everyone involved on a common path to success.

2. gap analysis – the first step towards improvement: Before we introduce improvements, it is crucial to understand exactly where the challenges lie. With a detailed gap analysis, I identify the weak points in your processes and uncover hidden potential. This analysis forms the basis for targeted measures that not only close technical gaps, but also promote collaboration within your organization.

 

Why you should work with me:

 

  • Deep industry knowledge and sound methods: with my experience in the process industry and with technology units, I know exactly the challenges you face. Thanks to my certification as a PERMA lead trainer, I can not only initiate changes in corporate culture, but also make them measurable and manage them in a targeted manner.
  • Customized strategies: Together, we develop individual solutions that strengthen both your operational processes and collaboration within your company. Each change story is developed specifically for you and your needs.
  • Effective communication: As a certified PR consultant, I know how crucial communication is for the success of change processes. I support you not only in the creation of communication concepts, but also in the internal and external communication of your change initiatives – including the creation of publications.
  • Sustainable results: My goal is not just to achieve short-term improvements, but to create flow and connection that will make your organisation successful in the long term.

If you feel it’s time to adapt your processes to the new requirements and establish a culture of flow and connection, then I’m the right person for you.

Positive Lean
Leadership
In today’s corporate world, it is not just about making processes efficient, but also about strengthening the cultural and individual aspects of the organisation. PoLean offers an innovative method that combines lean leadership with the scientifically sound principles of positive psychology to create a corporate culture that focusses on sustainable success and personal development.

Flow and connection in everyday leadership
At the centre of PoLean is the idea that real success comes when flow and connection are achieved at an organizational and individual level – especially for leaders and managers. By integrating methods such as Hoshin Kanri and Kata Coaching from lean management with the scientifically based findings of positive psychology, I support leaders and managers not only in optimizing their processes, but also in further developing their own leadership style. Flow is understood as a state in which both tasks and personal development are harmoniously intertwined, creating a productive and simultaneously fulfilling working environment.

Measurable changes through PERMA lead
A decisive advantage of my work is my certification as a PERMA lead trainer. This qualification enables me not only to initiate changes in behaviour and culture, but also to make them measurable. We start by creating an individual profile or 360-degree feedback to identify where change is needed. In doing so, we not only look at the behavior of individual managers and leaders, but also analyze the culture of the entire company through a comprehensive organizational analysis. Together, we identify strengths and define areas for development in order to develop targeted measures for sustainable improvement.

Obstacles as opportunities for growth
A central aspect of PoLean is dealing with obstacles. Both in lean management and in positive psychology, which is based on sound scientific research, obstacles are not seen as mere disruptions, but as necessary and valuable opportunities for growth and further development. In individual coaching sessions and workshops, managers learn to utilise these obstacles in a targeted manner in order to strengthen both the efficiency of their processes and their personal resilience. This approach not only promotes personal development, but also creates the basis for a culture in which teams operate in a state of flow and build stable connections within the organisation.

Sustainable leadership culture through development
With PoLean, I offer a method that supports managers in making their role more effective, more conscious and more sustainable. By combining lean methods and the science-based principles of positive psychology, a culture of trust and co-operation is created in which efficiency and the well-being of employees go hand in hand. If you want a corporate culture based on flow, connection and long-term success, then PoLean is the right way for you.

Diversity
Management

In a globalized and dynamic business world, the strategic integration of diversity is becoming a decisive success factor. But diversity is more than just a buzzword – it is the key to an innovative and sustainable corporate culture. The conscious integration of different perspectives, backgrounds and skills not only promotes an inclusive culture, but also the innovative strength and quality of decision-making in your company.

Diversity of values as the basis for connection
In an environment where people with different values, cultural backgrounds and genders work together, a special dynamic is created. This diversity of values not only brings new ideas and perspectives to your teams, but is also essential for working in a state of flow – a state in which both processes and interpersonal relationships mesh harmoniously. Flow and connection within your organisation make it possible to see challenges as opportunities and develop innovative solutions together.

The strategic integration of diversity and positive psychology
My approach combines the scientifically based principles of positive psychology with the strategic integration of diversity. This not only promotes the well-being and satisfaction of your employees, but also creates a corporate culture in which efficiency and cooperation go hand in hand. Managers are trained to make targeted use of the different strengths and values of their teams and to recognise obstacles as opportunities for further development. Using methods such as Hoshin Kanri and Kata Coaching, I support you in optimising your processes while creating an inclusive and innovative working environment.

Diversity as a driver for sustainable success
Consciously integrating diversity into your corporate strategy creates the basis for a culture of trust, cooperation and long-term success. Different perspectives not only enrich the innovative strength of your company, but also strengthen the loyalty and motivation of your employees. If you are striving for a corporate culture based on diversity of values, flow and sustainable success, then you have come to the right place.
