Our consulting philosophy

The core topic of the AG in consulting is organisational-psychological leadership, team and organisational consulting at Heidelberg University Hospital.

  • Our work is solution-orientated. We do not look for people to blame or for "the real causes" of problems. We work with our clients to find viable solutions under the given conditions.
  • We see ourselves as process consultants. We do not usually bring ready-made solutions with us, but help our clients to develop their own "suitable" solutions.
  • We work in a resource-orientated way: We generally have a lot of confidence in our clients and support them in (re)discovering their competences.
  • We work in a participatory and open-ended way - we endeavour to involve employees not only in the implementation, but also in the development of concepts and plans.
  • We work psychologically, but not in a psychologising way.
  • We do not consider efficiency and employee-orientation to be opposites.
