Read moreSystemic organisational consulting for companies in Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein. We work from our headquarters in Ahrensburg near Hamburg and on site with you.


transformis® supports companies in Kiel with strategy, organisation, leadership and succession. We do not have our own office in Kiel: our headquarters are in Ahrensburg, and conversations and workshops take place on site with our clients.
Our consulting is not tied to any one industry. Our clients include medium-sized companies, especially family businesses, municipal utilities and listed international groups.
In Kiel, the family business Friedrich Niemann GmbH & Co. KG is one of our clients, and in Schönkirchen near Kiel, Howmedica GmbH. Other clients in Schleswig-Holstein are based in Lübeck and Reinbek.
Many family businesses face the handover to the next generation. We address three questions together that are often handled separately: the family's expectations, future leadership roles and the strategic direction of the company.
The case study of an automotive retail group shows what this can look like: management was handed over two years after the process began, together with a new vision of the future.
It starts with an initial conversation about your situation. After that we work on site with you: in interviews, workshops and leadership retreats.
We address the subject matter, the collaboration of those involved and the sequence over time together from the outset. We call this the third mode of consulting: expertise combined with social and process competence.
For companies in Kiel, this covers organisational development, change management, strategy and succession.
Eight practice areas, one goal: your company’s ability to keep renewing itself strategically.

Eight design fields: strategy development, organisational development, people development, culture development, leadership development, succession, AI and the world of work, and optimisation. Where several of them are connected, we work on them in one joint process.
