Pausing 4 times a year on the way to a resilient and adaptable organization

They say the more hectic it gets, the sooner you should pause. Inception+ offers this opportunity four times a year. Review, retro, a moment of learning, deep alignment and a look ahead.

Change is permanent

Technology is evolving, companies are growing and merging, and competition is emerging from unexpected directions - change is permanent. To be successful, we need organizations that are resilient and adaptable. The path to this consists of constant reflection and reaction. Regularly pausing, reflecting, and moving forward with focus. A regularity that allows us to see constant progress in a chaotic, ever-changing environment.

Alignment, the framework, the basis for responsiveness

If you search for synonyms for alignment to better describe what is meant, calibration is one of them. This ensures that 0 degrees is actually 0 degrees, regardless of which device is measuring. It is similar to alignment. It's not just about stating that we all want to head north together, but also about making sure that everyone understands where north really is. We create a snapshot of how far we are from north and how fast we are approaching during planning.

Agile quarterly planning

Enough planning to achieve a certain degree of predictability, little enough to allow agile reactions to newly learned things. Agile quarterly planning is about coordinating, synchronizing quickly and efficiently, and dealing with unavoidable dependencies through improved cross-team coordination. Creating a moment of stability that gives stakeholders security and teams focus.

The start of each quarter, the planning, but so much more.

Holistic support

Usually based on various existing frameworks - but never dogmatically - we focus on a holistic view of the organization. Sometimes it is necessary to look at the team level to see which agreements and solutions bring the goal a little closer. Sometimes frame-setting work is needed at the strategic management level or a simmering conflict needs to be resolved. Whatever hurdle is currently perceived in your organization, in a holistic sense we give every topic space and use it for a common forward orientation.

The impulse that the organization needs at that moment

In addition to the space we give the organization to question and improve itself, we also provide the appropriate best practice impulses from our many years of diverse experience. This can range from complex flight-level training and workshops to improve business agility far beyond technology, to simple but effective exchange formats such as open space.

Empowerment and personal responsibility

Since we enter your company as independent consultants, it is absolutely in our mutual interest to consider our time together intensive but limited in time. From the outset, it is therefore our aim to strengthen the organization's self-responsibility by empowering individuals and, after a period of time on the journey together, to only provide coaching support until this is no longer felt to be necessary.

I have been there
I fell in love with the magic that happens when good software precisely addresses a customer problem over 15 years ago. Since then, I have been designing products in-house and on the consulting side. From small start-ups to large companies, I have experienced what works.
I know what happens when methods meet reality and what it takes then to make things fly.
I start with the people and the team, because only where people feel comfortable, can get involved and continuous learning is made possible, good product organizations are created and, as a result, products that truly help the customer and thus lead to commercial success. In this order.

TRAINER, FACILITATOR, COACH
Originally starting out as a cultural sociologist, I made the bold move into IT almost a decade ago and have since discovered my passion for agile product development. From my time as a software consultant at ThoughtWorks to my most recent position as People Development Manager at a start-up, my journey has been characterized by diverse experiences in the field of scaled agile software development. My greatest passion has always been working with people.
Since 2022, I have been fully dedicated to my self-employed work as a trainer, facilitator and coach. I believe in work-life integration based on sustainable ways of working and respectful cooperation.
I look forward to supporting you with my heart, mind and rich experience!
