After more than three decades in which I have been able to contribute my ideas for product development in exciting places, I am extremely pleased to be able to offer my know-how from my own house. The focus has shifted slightly. Towards consulting. Primarily around the topics of technical and business optimization.
Sometimes situations simply get stuck. Then a fresh and sharp look from the outside can't be a bad thing. Let us identify untapped potential and implement measurable improvements. Always with the aim of making your company more efficient and closer to the market. And also to reduce costs in the long term. Without compromising on quality and customer benefit.
When optimizing your business area, I rely on a systematic and analytical approach as well as intuition and creative elements. Your team will play an active role in shaping the process. This guarantees a smooth implementation of the planned changes.
Soft factors that characterize me:
Taking people along and get them inspired by an idea
Broad technical and business management experience
Entrepreneurial mindset and action
Identifying and implementing optimization potential
To systematically analyze production costs and evaluate potential savings, I rely on methods that have proven themselves in my day-to-day work. My holistic approach quickly makes the relevant cost drivers transparent. Clarity unleashes and saves costs. Just like at Kyburz.
Soft factors that characterize me:
High level of moderation and methodological competence
Inspiring approach for creative idea processes
Combining different departments for optimal collaboration
As a starting point, I recommend an inspiring training to the lean production methodology. You will not regret it. Even if you are already familiar with Lean. For example at Relish Guitar. In workshops, we apply what we have learned and set up the assembly line together to use resources efficiently.
Soft factors that characterize me:
Linking way to turn concerns into opportunities
Many practical ideas for the application of LEAN methods
Often it just gets blocked somehow. Sometimes the causes can be easily and clearly identified. Then again, you simply have the vague feeling that things should work out better somehow. My roots are in the technical corner. But clarity unleashes across thematic boundaries. Or you simply need temporary resources to relieve your team.
I feel at comfortable with these topics:
Temporary management, department management, development management
Workshop moderation
Agile coach
Project management
Portfolio management
Change coach
