Executive Masterclass

When You Own the Outcome

Leading Major Programmes Under Pressure


An executive masterclass for everyone who owns major programmes and transformations when things get difficult.

In preparation – first cohort being planned

Enquire without obligation

A two-day executive masterclass for experienced programme and transformation leaders running a major programme or transformation that is stalling or at risk of tipping over.

No textbook phase model, but what works in real turnarounds – anchored in real mandates: the turnaround of the German Armed Forces’ private-cloud infrastructure, the build-up at Jungheinrich Digital Solutions, the OBI e-commerce project.

The core: in a crisis, the ability to act comes from reliability and transparency – not from power.

The curriculum

The five modules


  1. The honest diagnosis

    Separate the real cause from the stated reasons.

  2. Securing the mandate

    Build backing instead of demanding it.

  3. Making the team able to act

    Hand responsibility back, take on the risk.

  4. Transparency as a working principle

    Trust through reliable news, not good news.

  5. Dissolving resistance, not breaking it

    Involve people, let them experience the change first-hand, reframe identity.

Evening programme

The evening in between: the fireside evening


Day one doesn’t end with the programme – it changes rooms. A fireside evening with a distinguished external speaker, exchange among peers, no slides, no minutes.

The first cohort meets at an exclusive venue in the greater Hamburg area.

A small group. Every participant brings their own live case and spends two days working on it concretely.
