ORGANIZATIONAL ARCHITECT
What is an Organizational Architect?
As an organizational architect, I design your company’s architecture together with you. I don’t provide templates; instead, I develop a system with you that reduces internal complexity and facilitates collaboration.
We are creating an architecture that:
- Provides orientation: Even when markets, technologies, and conditions are constantly shifting.
- Reduces bureaucracy: So that value creation can flow instead of suffocating in rigid processes.
- Is future-fit: Through intelligent design, internal complexity decreases, and the system learns continuously.
My work combines scientific depth with international practical experience.
My offering
Strategy & Organization
Future-fit organizations don't emerge by chance.
They prepare now for what is to come. Yet, many companies lack the organizational capabilities to meet the challenges ahead.
The reality
- Strategies often fail because the structural foundation for implementation is missing.
- Internal complexity and unclear responsibilities slow down decision-making.
- Leaders lose themselves in operational tasks because clear guardrails and decision-making architectures are lacking.
Where I support you
Clarity through Strategy: With Vector³, we develop a shared target image for all 7 subsystems of your organization. The result is a blueprint, not a stack of paper.
Focus through Organizational Design: We create an architecture that reduces internal complexity, clarifies responsibilities, and shortens decision paths.
Execution with Puzzle Transformation: An adaptive operating system for change that unfolds effectiveness through central alignment, decentralized teams, and continuous feedback loops.
Your benefits
- Clear Priorities: Definite guardrails promote self-responsibility and prevent arbitrary actions.
- Increased Efficiency: "Grey areas" are eliminated, and decision-making is accelerated.
- Relief for Leadership: Leaders regain the freedom to focus on strategic tasks.
Strategic
HR-Management
A modern HR operating model is a decisive competitive factor.
Yet, many companies lack the structural requirements to establish HR as a strategic business function. Without synchronization between strategy, organization, and people, HR remains reactive.
The reality
- HR acts reactively instead of proactively - driven by day-to-day operations.
- Future competencies are not developed systematically - leading to critical skill gaps.
- Key personnel decisions are based on intuition instead of valid data.
Where I will support you
HR Transformation: Realigning your HR operating model toward a modular, value-adding business function that acts strategically.
Strategic Workforce Planning: Securing your business continuity through the forward-looking analysis of future roles, competencies, and know-how risks. Ensuring you have the right skills at the right time.
People Analytics: Establishing data-driven HR decision-making to evolve HR from administration to an intelligence function – for measurable impact and strategic steering.
Your benefits
- Measurable impact: HR services become tangible as "products" with clear value propositions for the business.
- Future-fitness: Timely identification of skill gaps and clear options for action.
- Strategic partnership: HR becomes a co-architect that actively enables the execution of your business goals.
Training | Sparring | Mentoring
Future-fit organizations require people who are willing and empowered to take ownership within complex systems.
Training
Knowledge for immediate application
Many trainings are theoretical. Mine are not. I translate complex knowledge into applicable methods tailored specifically to your corporate context. We work on real-life challenges from your daily operations – not on abstract case studies.
Your benefits: High practical relevance through working on real-world case studies.
Sparring
A thought partner at eye level
Leaders often bear the sole burden of difficult decisions. I serve as a neutral counterpart to help you view challenges from new perspectives.
Your benefits: A sound basis for decision-making and clarity in complex situations.
Mentoring
Sharing experience
I support HR professionals, career changers, and leadership talents in fulfilling their roles with confidence. You benefit from over 20 years of international experience in industry and consulting. We work specifically on the areas where your personal competence creates the greatest impact.
Your benefits: Targeted capability building and accelerated personal growth.
About me
Design determines behavior.
When organizations don't function as planned, it's rarely due to the people, but usually due to the design. People instinctively adapt their behavior to the environment and conditions they find themselves in.
This insight has been with me since my studies in organizational sociology and forms the foundation of my work today. I support companies in translating strategy into impact through organizational design and strategic HR management.
My focus is on:
- Organizational Design: The deliberate design of structures, responsibilities, and decision-making responsibilities.
- Organizational Development: Working on behavior, collaboration, and culture, ensuring people bring the architecture to life.
- Organizational Efficiency: The reduction of internal complexity and the optimization of processes.
People mostly talk about "Organizational Development." However, holistic organizational design encompasses all three disciplines. They only unfold their full effectiveness when they interact.
My expertise is based on more than 20 years of international experience in 360° HR and Organizational Design.
Before founding my company, I gained many years of 360° experience in international industrial corporations, holding operational, strategic, and executive HR roles. International projects have taken me to China, Sweden, the UK, France and Germany, among others.
Since 2019, I have focused on supporting companies in making their organizations future-fit. My approach treats strategy, organization, and HR as an integrated system.
I work co-creatively: scientifically grounded, pragmatically applicable, and tailored to your context.
As a Certified Organisation Design Professional (CODP®), I am part of a global network of recognized experts in organisational design.
Every mandate begins with understanding your specific context.
Let's find out together which lever will truly move your organization forward.
