How does transformation succeed in a company? In our six-part series, we present the five crucial cornerstones and how they interact. Our approach: simple, efficient, successful.

In our series, we have established a clear target picture as a north star, introduced a sustainable structure as a compass, developed effective self-organisation, ignited inspiring collaboration and scaled everything with the adaptation of modern technology.

The Interconnecting of All Cornerstones for Sustainable Success.

The essence of transformation lies less in being the best in one of the aforementioned disciplines, but rather in consistently combining and truly applying all five cornerstones:

North Star | An ambitious transformation goal that motivates all stakeholders.
Transformation begins with a clear target picture that provides orientation, motivates and aligns all measures towards a common goal.

Compass | An effective structure that offers transparency and orientation for everyone. Transformation requires an effective structure that stays on course and leads to the transformation goal in a comprehensible, step-by-step and transparent manner.

Self-organisation | A tool-supported environment that leads to agile implementation. Self-organisation is the best form of leadership, with which employees generate step-by-step progress in a modern framework with generous guidelines.

Collaboration | Empowerment that fosters commitment and personal responsibility. How you do it is even more important than what you do. Transformation succeeds when employees really want it to – through appreciation, involvement and real creative leeway.

User adoption | Modern technology that scales value creation. User adoption is crucial, not systems. Technology only adds value when employees really understand, accept and integrate it into their daily lives.

As ab & partner, we not only develop target pictures and concepts, but also actively pursue them as innovators. This makes the transformation an exciting journey. We give employees a compass with which they can follow the north star, and we provide the tools with which they can independently approach the goal step by step. We involve all stakeholders in such an appreciative way that enthusiasm arises. In doing so, leaving some comfort zones is rewarded with achieving the goal. Guaranteed.
