To objectively discuss processes and relationships within a company, you need to visualize them. It is only by pointing out the obvious that clear communication can be established. When everyone is aware of the processes, smooth operations are possible.

In the first step, information is gathered. In the second step, we visualize the information. In the third step, we will make suggestions to simplify the process workflow using lean and agile principles. The idea is to reduce loops and waiting times by empowering a small group of people dealing with most issues of daily development. Let our project managers and editors help you to create a presentation of what makes your organization unique. If you are interested in not only visualizing your status quo but also helping improve your processes, we also offer agile coaching. If you are still setting up your project, maybe we can also help you out with brainstorming ideas or meeting organization.

What parts of your company should be visualized?

  • The true organizational chart that shows who is actually talking with whom and what expertise they have.
  • The customer journey from the first call or visit to the sale (and possible future sales).
  • The user journey to map user interactions with the product.
  • The communication process with the customer. This includes the initial contact but also dealing with service requests.
  • The development process from the initial order to delivery to the customer.
  • Your personal daily work process to keep you healthy and attentive.
  • An evaluation of your and your team's workload.

I like visiting the gym, learning to sing, observing animals, and creating videos on science and philosophy. I enjoy learning from nature and love the idea of optimizing systems.

In my youth, I was an active chess player reaching the national championship in Germany, and an active pen&paper player leading groups of adventurers on mental journeys. These activities align with my calm approach to moderating meetings, leading meetups, and focusing on details.
