Sparring for Founders and CEOs

As a founder or CEO, you often face complex personnel decisions without an experienced HR executive by your side. In our consultation, we act as your strategic advisor on equal terms. We confidentially discuss organizational structures, leadership challenges, and critical HR decisions. You receive immediately applicable insights from hundreds of projects to successfully link your HR strategy with your business goals.

We provide effective solutions to your challenges.

Loneliness at the top
As a CEO, you often have to make far-reaching personnel decisions alone. During our confidential session, we'll reflect on your ideas and provide you with an unbiased external perspective.
Unstructured Growth
Rapid growth leads to a loss of control and friction within the team. We help you with the strategic design of your organization so that your leadership structures scale stably with your business.
Critical personnel conflicts
Conflicts within the leadership team or poor staffing decisions can paralyze the entire company. We support you with proven methods to quickly and professionally resolve challenging personnel situations.
Lack of HR Expertise
In the early stages, you might not have the budget for a full-time CHRO position. Our advisory sessions provide you with the strategic HR expertise of experienced professionals exactly when you need it.
Dilution of company culture
Rapid scaling risks losing your company's original founding spirit and identity. We develop strategic approaches to firmly embed your core values in new processes and altered leadership structures.
Leadership Bottleneck
It's often difficult to let go of operational HR decisions, which can unintentionally make you a blocking bottleneck for your team as you grow. We support you through sparring to effectively delegate responsibility and establish a trustworthy second tier of leadership.
