“Both at Post Immobilien Services AG and later at GVB Group, I experienced Frank as an inspiring thought partner for culture development. He combines courage, positive energy, and a strong drive to execute. He thinks unconventionally and has a talent for making even complex transformation topics clear and tangible.”

Luana AlmonteHead of Human ResourcesGVB Group

“Frank facilitated several team development and culture workshops for our global management team. He has a remarkable ability to build trust quickly, bring even difficult issues to the table constructively, and translate them into concrete priorities for leadership and collaboration.”

Dr. Nicole Haft-ZborilSenior Vice President Real Estate ManagementBMW Group

“Frank supported our culture development efforts across all ETAS Solution Fields worldwide and advised our Board on cultural matters during the realignment of Bosch Mobility. I particularly value his ability to connect culture with strategy and transformation—and to translate that connection into clear, actionable guidance for leadership and the organization as a whole.”

Christoph HartungMember of the Sector BoardBosch Mobility – Technology Software

“Frank brings tremendous presence and energy to our work together and to the process of shaping culture. He mobilizes people while providing clear direction on what comes next. This ensures that culture becomes more than words on paper: the outcomes are not filed away and forgotten but embedded in organizational structures - including leadership practices - and in the way people behave every day. As a result, culture becomes tangible, impactful, and even measurable.”

Katja MarchionnoHead of HRCity of Schaffhausen

“Over six years, Frank accompanied HICO on its journey from a founder-led startup to an international organization with three distinct leadership levels: owners, the executive team, and team leaders. What sets him apart is his instinct for the right approach at every level. His workshops and sparrings meet each leader where they are. The result is not a short-term effect but a lasting leadership culture that continues to drive our success and growth.”

Bastian LossenManaging PartnerHICO Group

“Frank worked with my leadership team and me in Tuscaloosa to evolve how we collaborate. With a nuanced understanding of American culture and its interplay with German culture, he helped us pinpoint our strengths and areas for development. His contagious energy and ability to translate strategic ambitions into clear, practical leadership guidelines enabled us to develop a shared cultural vision for our leadership team and move swiftly into action.”

Michael GöbelFormer Chief Executive Officer & PresidentMercedes-Benz USA International

“Frank guided our global culture process involving around 150 people across four continents. With strong intercultural sensitivity, he brought together diverse perspectives and helped us develop a shared vision for our culture. He then supported our Executive Team in translating that vision into concrete actions, particularly in further developing our vision, mission, and values.”

Diane WimmerChief Human Resources & Sustainability OfficerGKN Powder Metallurgy

“Industry expertise, analytical rigor, and a genuine understanding of people—that is what sets Frank apart. He supported us in developing our team and realigning HR. He quickly understood where our team stood and what mattered to each individual. His analysis was precise and candid. At the same time, he involved everyone openly and respectfully. This resulted in recommendations that fit our organization and deliver real impact.”

Good Practices

Our solution framework is based on years of experience and proven thought models in the areas of culture and leadership development

We perceive organizations as living organisms In an ever-changing BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-Linear, Incomprehensible) environment, organizations face major challenges. To ensure long-term survival, they must demonstrate the adaptability and flexibility characteristic of living organisms.

‍

We make the ambiguous phenomenon of "culture" visible and tangible Many organizations continue to grapple with the idea of culture, particularly when compared to more concrete aspects such as strategy and structure. These topics are tangible, usually documented in writing, and thus more accessible. When people talk about culture, on the other hand, it often becomes vague and unclear. But it can be done differently!

‍

We enable sustainable culture development in four phases We are convinced that organizations that do not actively engage with their culture and adapt it to changing context requirements will eventually become extinct. Against this backdrop, culture development becomes an important permanent task - but how does it work?

‍

We support leadership in uncertain times No culture development without people! The top management, leaders, and employees shape the culture of an organization.

People

We work with different people and characters. We put together a team of Culture Professionals for every challenge.
