The cooperation with Heitger+ in the development and implementation was a great benefit for us. Together, we gradually refined the requirements and goals of the individual topics and translated them into digital dialog-oriented formats. Thanks to Heitger+'s high level of methodological expertise, a customized event was created that was far beyond our imagination: digital, dialog-oriented, focused and entertaining.-

The consultants took us on a learning journey that allowed us to test new tools together and inspired us to add more digital offerings to the Helmholtz Academy's portfolio for executives. We are delighted to have Heitger+ at our side as a partner who supports us in this in a highly competent and authentic way.-

We are in a good situation as an organization - we are successful in what we do - and there is a danger of leaving everything as it is. We deliberately chose Heitger+ because we wanted to take advantage of this upward trend: to gather strength, to become better as a group, to try out new things and to remain fit for the future.
The young consultants who accompanied us did a good job in terms of both content and process; as 'digital natives', they come across as particularly authentic and were able to convince us with their experience in the use of agile and digital tools. Thus, they were able to carry us along as 'digital migrants' to try out new things ourselves. You could compare them to a good mountain guide team: they demanded preparation from the group and were available for dialog and queries. They created a safe framework and encouraged self-organization. But when the slope is no longer so steep, you are sent off on your own. We tried out design thinking methods, for example, and then designed an operational meeting among department heads according to Holacracy. That worked because the tools and instruments were presented in a way that could be connected and adapted to our organization - overall a very valuable experience.-

She has accompanied me and Daimler AG in the most diverse and very comprehensive change processes and one thing I can say with certainty - ``we made it grow``! Working with Barbara Heitger was always professional, very efficient and exciting. She approaches things creatively and with a fresh eye. During our meetings, she always took extensive time and asked helpful questions. We discussed a lot and looked through a wide variety of options together. Afterwards, the next steps were always completely clear. I was also very impressed with how well she was able to empathize with our business - and always had all the details ready, even after long periods of time. She felt like part of the system. Personally, I especially appreciated our great relationship of trust over the many years. I can recommend Heitger+ and working with Barbara Heitger to everyone - I don't know anyone who works more professionally and with more depth and joy. The perfect mix of professionalism and a lot of fun - I am full of praise!-

The cooperation was about supporting a change process - the new takeover of a department with newly filled management positions and the implementation of the new customer segmentation. The challenge was above all to uncover resistance and allow resentment to build up, as well as to work out and further develop the forward-looking positive aspects. Barbara Heitger has excellently combined a content focus with the psychological dimension. Working with Heitger+ has provided a positive ``voice``, future orientation, departure, and recognition of new business opportunities, and has strengthened us as a management team.-

In the consulting cooperation, it was important for me to have the feeling of having a professional consultant at my side who both grasped the complex subject matter in a short time and helped the group of executives move forward by asking the right questions. This worked out great - and was very helpful. the number of participants - 45 – was challenging as well as getting into the complex matter of our business quickly. The consultants were lightning fast, very confident and did a great job. Their guidance of our workshop had the effect of continuously maintaining focus and concentration in the group. Above all, they asked the right questions when we were stuck. This contributed to great clarity and got to the heart of what needs to be followed up and how. Most importantly, it created an awareness in the group. Already two weeks after the event the first measures started, that was never the case before!-

The new week has begun and I feel like our large group event was really worthwhile - the spirit has returned to my sensibilities!

For the international roll-out of our strategy, we have brought together our entire team. In addition to our 250 employees here on site, we have as many again in the Eastern European countries.

In addition to our 250 employees here on site, we have as many again in the Eastern European countries. The point was to strengthen our sense of togetherness. Our result from working with Heitger+ was new motivation and a strengthened common identity across this team, especially among the new employees. What I appreciate about Heitger+ is their flexible, ``systemic`` response to what is going on in the group. Not knowing on the first day exactly what will be done on the last day was not easy for our logic culture at the beginning. In the meantime - after the third event - we have confidence in this approach. The team was very prepared and in a good flow. What I find special about Heitger+ is the combination of systemic know-how and understanding our business. We need someone who can think along with us.Barbara Heitger understands what is important at a given moment and can inspire people with an idea. Together, we succeeded in convincing our international team that the ``big picture`` is something worth working for. The event was a great success.-

Working together is a bit like building a 3D puzzle, where support from outside helps to maintain an overview of the composition of the individual pieces.
In terms of content, it is about teams and their tasks, such as vision work, strategy development or realignment. Through his keen sense and analytical understanding, Antonius Greiner is always able to excellently grasp situations and needs and react appropriately. In this way, standardized measures are never created, but rather individual building blocks. The combination of personal appreciation and humanity with the highest professional expertise make him a high-level consultant for us.-

We were looking for a consultancy that could not only support us in the implementation and suplly the extensive project with good staffing on the one hand, but also set similarly high standards for its own work in terms of content and bring with it a great deal of experience and expertise in the fields of corporate development, executive development, change and support for major processes. We particularly value Heitger+'s expertise in dealing with different target groups, as well as their state-of-the-art approach. Highlights are the project team meetings with the project manager Manfred Bouda and the whole staff, where many different backgrounds and perspectives come together. All participants have learned a lot from each other so far, always with a lot of fun and engagement. The main facilitators of the platform - Manfred Bouda, Hiltrud Drackert, Antonius Greiner and Pascale Grün - are all very experienced and professional facilitators who ensure that the events go well. In close coordination with us as project managers and with many reflection units in the pre- and post-processing as well as in between, they have mastered all constellations, situations and dynamics very well. You could compare it to team sports, where the team is always questioning itself and going together.-

The program is a successful mix of systemic theoretical inputs, experiences from consulting projects and practical applications. Currently discussed agile methods and their design principles are made tangible and illustrate how agile principles can complement systemic consulting work.
Change Essentials also impresses with the impressive expertise of Barbara Heitger. Her know-how about current economic challenges of organizations in a disruptive environment and her view on necessary further developments of companies are particularly valuable. Due to the good composition of participants from classical as well as systemic consulting and HR managers, I was able to take away many suggestions and impulses for personal reflection at a high level.-

I particularly liked two points: First, the analysis phase, which was value-adding and produced a lot of results, and second, the creative moment in the conception of the new event format in the form of a prototyping workshop. Heitger+ brings the holistic view that one expects from systemic consulting. The 'icing on the cake' for us was the addition of effective digital media - which is a unique selling point among systemic consultants.-

Since we did not want to postpone the dates originally planned as analog workshops under any circumstances, we used this method for the first time. Naturally, I was very curious to see what results could be achieved in such a workshop. In this respect, however, I was extremely pleasantly surprised, because the results in terms of content corresponded to the level that we know and appreciate from analog workshop formats with Heitger+. The Heitger+ team has the necessary technical expertise, knows the limits of virtual collaboration and has mastered the tools so that, for example, small group work is also convincing. Although virtual work demands a high level of concentration and discipline from all participants, it is precisely for this reason that this method of working is incredibly efficient and focused. For our future work, we will certainly return to virtual workshops and combine analog and virtual formats to save travel time and costs while still achieving high-quality results.-

We experienced the work with Heitger+ as collaborative, appreciative and clearly at eye level. The implementation of the systemic loop was an important turning point in agile working for us. Since then, organizational development projects have been thought of continuously - this gives us a boost. From goal setting to implementation, the recurring reflections (What is status quo? What are the challenges? How do we deal with them?) were helpful. In the course of the transformation process, we were able to develop a common understanding of the roles involved, which also supported us in unfolding our own contribution and drawing strength for the further process.-

To achieve this, we developed a common understanding of change management and then anchored a 'skill set' of competencies and knowledge in change agents, who can now test their know-how directly in projects. At the same time, we established a Change Competence Center. What's special about this collaboration is how mindfully the consultants integrate what's already there into the process and consistently build on it - and do so credibly. For me as the internal project lead, it is important to develop the process together on an ongoing basis in regular reviews and correction loops. Our goals have evolved over the course of our collaboration - we now have a much clearer picture than at the beginning. The motto of our work: ``Learning from each other and shaping the future together.-

Dr. Barbara Heitger has worked with us on successful strategic realignments. Especially the defined 'change architecture' and the goal-oriented employee involvement were cornerstones for the success in the implementation.

The initiative of 'Way We Work' came from the HR board area and had the particular goal of integrating agile working into everyday life and thus making HR processes more efficient. I myself acted as facilitator, because I had met Heitger+ at the Zukunftswerkstatt 2013 and had the impression that they were certainly experts in SCRUM and Co, but in particular that they had really understood the idea 'behind' agility. We were looking for someone like that - and not a 'method fetishist'!
Heitger+ combines know-how on agile methods with the systemic approach, which gives us the security of meeting a common organizational understanding. This mixture makes it - and is unique!-

Always putting the customer at the center is a central premise of this program. The field of participants was composed of many different positions and industries. The exchange of experiences among each other and the networking were further highlights of this training for me.
Barbara Heitger's expertise from experience in large projects, design considerations and systemic discussion techniques make this training very valuable for me. As a long-time consultant and business trainer, the change of perspective to the participant side was particularly exciting for me. For my practice at Kre-aktiv, much of the content is directly applicable and complementary to the models we already use.
For people who have open questions about their own positioning in the market, their own brand and the systemic consulting business itself, Change Essentials by Heitger+ is a real added value. Clear recommendation!-

The three modules are intensive, experiential and focused on the needs of the participants. In addition to theoretical inputs, several smaller working groups offered enough space for reflection and personal exchange. Above all, working on one's own consulting system triggered a high density of insights, direct involvement and motivation.-

It is a book with its finger on the pulse, showing ways in which organizations can move away from conflicting goals that limit growth and toward fundamental restructuring so that complexity and internal conflict are transformed and reordered. Barbara Heitger and Alexander Doujak are masters of change management and Managing Cuts and New Growth is 'a must read' for anyone in the field.-
