We enable organisations to shape their own future.

Future viability does not come from individual change projects. It comes when companies develop the ability to spot relevant changes early, anticipate them strategically and keep realigning themselves with the future on their own.

That is exactly what transformis® stands for.

We advise and support companies whose future viability depends on systematically building their capacity for strategic renewal and embedding it for the long term.

For us, transformation is not the goal. Transformation is the path.
The goal is continuous strategic self-renewal.

The outcome is lasting future viability.

Where others restructure, we develop towards the future.

Many companies only change fundamentally once the pressure can no longer be ignored: declining competitiveness, rising complexity, weak leadership, cultural blockages, skills shortages, unresolved succession, digital overload or pressure on results. At that point, the response is often a turnaround, restructuring or short-term optimisation.

We start earlier.
transformis® works with business owners, managing directors and executive boards to build the organisational ability to recognise change in good time, assess it strategically and shape it effectively – before necessary renewal turns into a crisis.

Our aim is clear:
Not fixing what was spotted too late.
But building the capacity for renewal before future viability is lost.

Think systemically. Act entrepreneurially.

Our approach to consulting is based on systemic organisational theory. We see companies not as trivial machines but as complex social systems with their own logic of communication, decision-making and learning.
Anyone who wants to change something has to look beyond the symptoms. We address the deep patterns that enable or block performance and renewal in everyday work.

Our stance:
We say what we see. We ask the decisive questions. We don’t sidestep uncomfortable issues. And we work with top management on the levers that make the difference.
For us, Klartext means acknowledging a company’s reality without varnish – and developing sound answers for the future from it.

“For us, organisational transformation is a profound development process that goes beyond surface adjustments. It becomes necessary when fundamental strategic, organisational, people, cultural or leadership development is needed to secure an organisation’s performance and future viability.”

The transformis® difference

  • We understand that not all change is the same.

    Crisis management and restructuring are different from profound transformation, which places very different demands on management. We have the know-how and experience to plan, initiate and implement profound transformation successfully.

  • We master all three: strategy, organisational and people development.

    We deliver tailored, highly effective solutions aligned with your strategy, all from a single source.

  • We see organisations not as trivial machines but as highly complex social systems.

    Technical solutions alone are not enough. Change usually fails at the social level, not the technical one. We name the implicit and explicit patterns of communication and decision-making that stand in the way of necessary change and that need to change themselves.

  • We bring fresh ideas, not industry templates.

    Our cross-industry perspective reveals blind spots. Instead of standard solutions, you get tailored ideas that we implement with you, giving you a real competitive advantage.

  • We work in the third mode of consulting.

    Our consultants can observe and work on the factual, social and time dimensions in parallel in every consulting situation. This is an important prerequisite for effective change during ongoing transformation.

Why transformis®?

Future viability does not come from isolated measures.
It comes from the effective interplay of a company’s key levers.

Drawing on more than 40 years of experience, we bring these eight fields of action together in an integrated consulting model. Because profound renewal takes more than individual projects:

  • Ein belastbares Zukunftsbild

  • Leadership that can make decisions

  • An organisation that turns strategy into results

  • Cultural patterns that enable development

  • Talent that can shape the future

  • Succession that keeps responsibility in safe hands

  • A sensible approach to artificial intelligence

  • Performance that frees up room for the future

And consultants who see all these fields not in isolation but as one interconnected organisational system, and develop them accordingly.
That is exactly what we do.

Our fields of action in detail

Our experience.

For more than 40 years, we have advised and supported companies through profound strategic renewal.

We take on mandates where more is at stake than isolated improvements: where future viability, leadership, organisation, culture, succession or profitability need to be realigned.

Where top decision-makers want to know not just what must change, but how their company builds the ability to keep renewing itself.
Let’s talk about your company’s future viability. A 30-minute remote call is enough for an initial assessment.

Who we work for

We work with organisations whose future viability must not be left to chance:

What these companies have in common: they face choices that will shape their performance, competitiveness and long-term future.

What unites us: a commitment not to leave the future to chance.

For more than 40 years, we have advised and supported organisations on this journey. That experience has produced an integrated consulting model that brings strategy, organisation, leadership, culture, people, succession, artificial intelligence and organisational performance together into one effective whole.

The focus is not on change itself, but on the ability to renew yourself again and again. Because the decisive question is not whether change will come. It is whether you are ready to stay ahead of it.
