We don't talk about transformation, we take ownership of it: in large corporations, in mid-sized companies and in the largest Modern Work program of the Cooperative Financial Network.

Modern Work · Microsoft 365 · Adoption
Together with Atruvia, the digitalization partner of the Cooperative Financial Network, we guide Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken toward modern digital collaboration: M365 rollout, adoption, training and embedding new ways of working into everyday banking.
What makes this program special: it doesn't have to work in one organization, but in more than 250, with different sizes, levels of maturity and cultures. That is exactly what our methodologies have matured on.
Case examples
Modern Work and leadership in distributed, sometimes regulated organizations: these three examples show how strategy, execution and culture work come together with us.
Modern Work · Strategy · Cultural change
Not a single institution, but change across more than 250 legally independent VR-Banken (German cooperative banks), from large ones like Frankfurter Volksbank to smaller ones in the network. At this scale, shared change cannot be mandated. It needs strategy, operational execution and culture work at the same time.
For context: projects with continuously supported change reach their goals around seven times more often than those with weak change management (88% vs. 13%, Prosci). That is exactly why culture work here was not an add-on but a subproject of its own.
Hybrid Facilitation · Training
Four locations, 30 trainers and managers, more than 11,000 digital-hybrid events per year. Teams, file storage and infrastructure were in place, but consistent standards for hybrid collaboration and training were missing. Without a clear framework, this cost time, energy and quality every day.
For context: 86% of meetings have at least one remote participant (Owl Labs 2023), but only 10% of managers have received mandatory training for hybrid leadership (Gallup 2023).
Hybrid Leadership · Coaching
This was not about tools, but about people: managers who had learned their role in an on-site world and suddenly had to lead at a distance and in hybrid mode, and distributed teams whose cohesion was fading.
The impact of coaching can rarely be captured in a percentage. What it stands for is the experience behind it: leading at a distance and team cohesion require their own work, even when structures and tools have long been in place.

Partners & network
For tasks beyond our core, we draw on a reliable network. That way you get specialists instead of generalists, coordinated from a single source.

Voices
At first glance, meeting efficiency looks like a personal matter. What surprised me, though: if you tackle it consistently, it changes the way the whole team works.To the Meetingdiät
Together we defined clear rules and rotated facilitation across all colleagues. That way everyone is actively involved and contributes to the outcome. I deliberately handed responsibility for our meetings over to the team. With the help of the Meetingdiät (our Meeting Diet workshop), we were able to define firm principles for our collaboration. We don't meet less than before, but the formats and results are structured, binding and far better.
For me, our new meeting culture is a real game changer.
A very appreciative and positive atmosphere.To Hybrid Leadership Alignment
Richard answered every question we had, sent us studies afterwards and made further material available to us. His passion for the topics was tangible and inspiring.
The small group was especially positive.
