Designing solutions Acting with impact

In our dynamic world, change and innovation are the foundations for sustainable success. Together, we design solutions that move your organisation forward.

With the help of strategic design and various methods of organisational and strategic development, we reduce complexity and create clarity. Together we develop creative ideas, sustainable structures, optimised processes and implementable strategies – for and with the people in your organisation.

Our collaboration Your success

Do you want to develop a long-term strategy / vision to position your organisation sustainably on the market?

Are you facing the challenge of adapting processes, structures or the mindset to changing requirements?

Are you looking for new ways to strengthen the innovative power of your organisation and/or successfully implement creative ideas?

Do you want to promote a work culture based on collaboration, trust and appreciation that not only brings success, but also attracts and retains talented young people?

We tackle questions like these together. There is already a lot of knowledge and experience in your organisation – I support you in making this potential visible, in structuring information and processes and in developing promising solutions.

Strategic design

I support you and your company in aligning strategies, structures, processes and organisational culture in such a way that you are adaptable and fit for the future.In doing so, I rely on strategic design, which combines creative thinking with strategic planning. It uses principles such as user-centricity, co-creation and iteration and combines these with analyses and long-term goals to develop innovative and implementable solutions for complex challenges.

Team development & leadership

Tailored to your individual needs, we develop the outline together. As a facilitator and coach, an empathetic and supportive atmosphere is important to me, creating space to address unpleasant issues, discover new things and reinforce positive aspects.

I am also happy to accompany you as a leader and your team over a longer period of time. Because in order to achieve effective and lasting change, new connections need to be created in the brain. And that takes time.

Impulses

Whether keynote speeches or informal talks, I enjoy speaking to small or large audiences in a neuroscientific context on topics that inspire me.

Here are some of my lecture titles:

Creativity as a success factor
Brain-friendly working – what our brain needs to develop its potential
Shaping culture – living values: The key to corporate success

In order to provide you with the best possible support, I work with partners from different backgrounds. This enables us to tackle challenges of any size and complexity.

Customers Partnership at eye level

In our many years of working together, I particularly appreciated Claudia’s creativity and her excellent rhetoric and presentation skills. She can motivate people, facilitate in a very intuitive and authentic way and create a positive group dynamic.

Like my colleagues, I enjoyed the inspiring, content-rich, and excellently delivered leadership program, ‘Search Inside Yourself’. A lot of food for thought, coupled with some very practical advice, is of great benefit both professionally and personally.

Due to her excellent knowledge of neuroscience in combination with an empathic facilitation style, Claudia was able to strongly connect with the group and stimulate deep reflection during our two development days.

For me, (sales) success starts in the head. The inner attitude, our mindset and resilience, are key. Claudia introduced us to the science around optimism and resilience in an impressive, understandable way and at eye level. For me and my team, it was a great experience that we build on in the future.

The presentation “What inspires us” by the two power women Claudia Thali and Judith Wernli (SRF3) was the perfect mix of emotion, entertainment and science. It was very inspiring, touching, enlightening and thought provoking. We can only recommend this tandem!

For me, the way you introduced us to the topics of team development and the alternation of theory and practical work was very enriching! Valuable conversations arose between you and our team, but also among ourselves, which we can use well in everyday life. This day made me feel once again how much potential there is in our team.
