Consulting services for sustainable transformation
Companies today face growing transformation pressure: rising costs, volatile markets, and increasing regulatory requirements make it essential to actively shape their own transformation.
With my modular consulting services, I help you navigate this process with confidence. Together, we develop solutions that enable you to manage risks effectively, implement change successfully, and achieve measurable results.
Depending on your starting point and ambition level, you can use individual service modules or combine several building blocks.
Mission & Vision
A sustainable transformation starts with a clear sense of purpose, direction, and identity. Companies define what they stand for, the contribution they make, and the future they want to create.
My approaches in this area help align corporate purpose, future vision, and organizational motivation — forming the foundation for strategic decisions and cultural anchoring.
Purpose Canvas
A structured consulting approach that supports leadership teams in developing or refining their corporate purpose. It links business value creation with societal impact, creating an authentic foundation for vision and strategy.
→ Outcome: a clearly formulated purpose statement aligned with the business model and stakeholder expectations.
Future Moves
A foresight and scenario-based approach that helps identify key megatrends, opportunities, and risks, and explore different future pathways. This process creates an inspiring yet realistic vision for the company’s long-term development.
→ Outcome: a future-oriented vision and mission statement ensuring long-term relevance and adaptability.
Strategy
Strategy is the bridge between vision and implementation — and at the same time, the core of sustainable transformation.
This is the focus of my work: translating insights from mission, vision, materiality, and corporate culture into a clear, actionable framework.
My approaches help turn complex requirements and conflicting goals into tangible fields of action, objectives, and implementation logics.
They are closely interlinked and ensure that sustainability contributes measurably to value creation and becomes culturally embedded.
4D Transformation Explorer
A systemic reflection and strategy approach for recognizing and effectively utilizing new spaces for action in complex transformation contexts.
The 4D Transformation Explorer connects four key dimensions — time, space, material, and energy — into an integrative thinking and exploration model.
It supports leaders and teams in understanding cause–effect dynamics, revealing interdependencies, and identifying precise leverage points for sustainable transformation.
→ Outcome: expanded systemic understanding, clearly defined courses of action, and precise leverage points for transformative effectiveness.
Materiality Plus
An advanced double materiality approach that links EU sustainability regulations — such as CSRD and ESRS — with strategic value creation.
In addition to identifying material topics, it systematically assesses maturity levels, stakeholder priorities, and implementation capabilities.
→ Outcome: strategically connected priorities and transformation areas — going beyond mere compliance.
Transformation Alignment Framework
A holistic framework that ensures vision, strategy, structures, and culture are aligned toward common goals.
It connects clear goal systems with effective implementation and cultural anchoring.
While similar in logic to approaches such as Hoshin Kanri or OKRs, it pursues a more sustainable and holistic perspective.
→ Outcome: a consistent goal and action plan that breaks down silos and channels transformation energy effectively.
Transformation Red Teaming
An analytical and critical strategy approach that tests existing strategies and transformation plans for robustness and feasibility.
Through deliberate perspective shifts and contrarian impulses, blind spots, unrealistic assumptions, and underestimated risks are identified — before they threaten implementation success.
→ Outcome: more resilient, reliable strategies and greater confidence in transformation decisions.
Transformation Roadmap
A practical implementation approach for developing clear projects, milestones, and KPIs.
The roadmap prioritizes action areas by impact and feasibility, ensuring that strategic goals are consistently translated into management processes.
→ Outcome: a clearly structured transformation path with measurable progress indicators.
Governance & Organization
Sustainable strategies only create impact when they are embedded in structures, responsibilities, and decision-making processes. This area focuses on designing governance and organizational frameworks that ensure sustainability is managed and developed systematically.
My approaches bring clarity to roles, processes, and reporting structures. They enable sustainability to become an integral part of good corporate governance.
Governance Map
A visualization and analysis approach to define roles, responsibilities, and decision-making pathways in the sustainability context. It reveals where sustainability is anchored — and where governance gaps exist.
→ Outcome: clear responsibilities and decision logics for effective sustainability management.
Transition Planning
A planning-oriented approach to translate transformation goals into actionable transition plans. It integrates regulatory requirements with internal strategies, investment paths, and financing structures.
→ Outcome: a coherent, feasible plan for transitioning to sustainable business operations and achieving defined sustainability targets.
Corporate Culture
Transformation only succeeds when it is embraced by people. This area focuses on mindsets, behaviors, and leadership principles that promote sustainable thinking and action.
My approaches combine cultural diagnostics, change communication, and leadership development to embed transformation in daily business — with real engagement and lasting behavioral change.
Sustainable Culture Check
A diagnostic approach assessing how deeply sustainability is embedded in corporate culture. It analyzes attitudes, leadership behavior, and learning capacity — providing a foundation for targeted culture development initiatives.
→ Outcome: a cultural maturity profile as the basis for effective change initiatives.
Transformation Readiness Check
A complementary approach to the Culture Check, assessing organizational and structural readiness for change. It evaluates leadership alignment, change competencies, and internal communication structures.
→ Outcome: clear insight into whether the organization is ready for the next transformation step.
Change Storytelling
A communication and leadership approach for conveying complex transformation processes in an engaging, understandable way. It helps leaders communicate the purpose, benefits, and direction of change convincingly.
→ Outcome: a shared transformation narrative that builds orientation, trust, and motivation.
Comprehensive Transformation Project
For companies seeking a fully integrated transformation, I offer end-to-end support across mission, strategy, governance, and culture — guided by measurable KPIs and a systematic PDCA-based approach aligned with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management standards.
Regulatory ESG Management & Sustainable Finance
Regulatory ESG requirements are fundamentally transforming the risk management, governance, and strategic direction of regional financial institutions. In this service area, I support savings banks (Sparkassen) and other regional financial institutions in implementing the requirements of BRUBEG, the EBA Guidelines, CRD VI and CSRD/ESRS in a practical, resource-efficient and supervisory-compliant way.
The focus lies on an integrated connection between risk, strategy, governance and data – with clear, institution-specific solutions rather than theoretical models.
ESG Risk Plan
A structured approach to developing a regulatory-compliant ESG Risk Plan in line with the EBA, BRUBEG and CRD VI requirements. The emphasis is on qualitative risk analysis, exposures, scenario support and the integration into existing risk and steering processes.
→ Outcome: a supervisory-compliant and clearly traceable ESG Risk Plan, aligned with the institution’s specific risk profile.
ESG Transition Plan
A strategic-regulatory approach to developing a transition pathway that links ESG objectives, business model, risks, measures and governance. The transition plan connects strategic ambitions with clear target states, timelines and implementation steps.
→ Outcome: a consistent, strategy- and risk-oriented transition plan that is sustainably embedded in overall bank management.
ESG Data & Reporting
A pragmatic approach to identifying, structuring and prioritising relevant ESG data along regulatory requirements. The focus is on realistic data architectures, clear roles and a step-by-step build-up.
→ Outcome: a manageable, institution-specific ESG data concept that effectively supports risk analysis, credit processes and reporting.
ESG Governance & Organisational Models
A modelling approach for roles, responsibilities and decision-making pathways along ESG risk and transformation requirements. The goal is a cross-functional, transparent and effective governance structure.
→ Outcome: a clearly defined governance model that embeds ESG efficiently, sustainably and supervisory-compliantly within the organisation.
