Successful projects require all team members to sit in the same boat.

When "ongoing projects" stop going, there is mostly a variety of reasons. Professional project leadership ensures that all involved team members are always aware of their roles and responsibilities.

A solid and realistic project plan is the indispensable base for that. In addition to the plan professional project leadership ensures that all team members are always aware of their roles and responsibilities.

I have many years of experience in leading projects of different types and dimensions. As an external consultant I am used to work very targeted and well structured.

As an neutral observer from outside I always try to use internal potentials best.

Focus

Business Development and Portfolio-Management, Marketing & Sales, R&D

Business approach

My support often is required for projects that are already running. In cooperation with the responsible managers I begin with the summary of the status quo. Depending on the individual project situation it will be done within a group session or by face to face meetings.

A solid project plan will be developed or an existing plan will be reviewed. That plan will jointly be adopted by the management board. I will lead the project until the end.
