I Help Organizations Make Change Work

Turn Transformation Complexity Into Execution.

Transformation rarely fails because leaders lack strategy. It stalls when priorities compete, decisions slow down, governance becomes unclear, and accountability fragments.

Excellence in Change helps organizations create the clarity, governance and execution discipline needed to move complex transformation forward.


Services Overview
People Centricity

My Approach

Collaborative

I believe meaningful change happens when we work together. As an extension of your team, I immerse myself in your goals and priorities. My people-focused approach builds trust, breaks down silos, and creates the conditions for lasting transformation. Together, we co-create strategies and deliver outcomes that reflect your vision — and often go beyond expectations.

Iterative Process

Change isn’t linear — and neither is my approach. I use an iterative process to align closely with your evolving needs. We refine, test, and adapt at each stage to ensure that what we deliver truly works for your people, systems, and long-term goals. No guesswork. No wasted effort. Just meaningful progress, step by step.

    Transformation and Anchoring Change

    Complex transformation needs more than a strategy. It needs clear leadership, disciplined execution, and the ability to turn decisions into action. We help organizations define transformation priorities, establish effective governance, align leaders and teams, and build practical roadmaps that fit their purpose and culture.

    From strategic alignment to execution, we bring clarity to complexity and help leaders move with confidence

    Project Consulting and PMO

    A strong PMO turns strategy into coordinated action. We design and strengthen PMO and portfolio governance to connect investments, programs, projects, resources, risks, and benefits to strategic priorities.

    Using pragmatic Agile and governance practices, we create the visibility and decision-making discipline leaders need to prioritize effectively, respond to change, and keep transformation moving.

    Operational Model and ERP Transformation

    Transformation succeeds when strategy, people, processes, technology, and decision-making work as one system. We help organizations design operating models, clarify capabilities and decision rights, streamline ways of working, and align people and technology around strategic outcomes.

    With experience across ERP and SAP S/4HANA readiness, we connect business transformation with technology change so new platforms enable better ways of working rather than simply replacing old ones.

    Retail Excellence

    Retail excellence comes from connecting customer needs, commercial priorities, operations, and execution.

    We help retail organizations strengthen product and portfolio management, merchandising, inventory and assortment decisions, sales operations, and store execution using data, clear processes, and scalable ways of working.

    The result is greater productivity, better customer relevance, and stronger commercial and omnichannel performance across the retail network.

    Leadership Coaching and Training


    Transformation depends on people who can lead through complexity, make decisions, and bring others with them. We design practical coaching, workshops, and training that build leadership and project-team capability around communication, decision-making, stakeholder management, collaboration, and change.

    Every session is tailored to real business challenges, with practical tools participants can apply immediately.

FAQ

Several black question marks and a few illuminated orange questions marks on a dark surface, with some question marks glowing.

  • First things first, don't be nervous. We'll start with a conversation to determine your needs in detail (and if we'll make great collaborators).

  • Pricing is based on both the project's scope and your desired timeline. Standard hourly rates are 150 CHF / Hour (I promise fair rates and I will strive to work within your budget). I will always require your approval before we begin.

  • Timelines depend on variable factors affecting the project scope such as availability and capacity of resources, if CPM (Critical Path Method) has been conducted. CPM identifies the sequence of activities that has the longest duration and determines the minimum time required to complete the project.

    There is the possibility of a long-term collaboration based upon availability.
