ABOUT HARTMUT HÜBNER

I have worked as a team leader in companies for over 20 years. This has shown: The critical moment for innovation and change usually comes when communication is pending: tensions and problems suddenly become visible. It is not uncommon for initiatives to fail at this point. Therefore, I am available as a communicative sparring partner to find meaningful answers to difficult questions and to make better decisions. I also conduct research on important change dynamics in business and society.+

3+1 WAYS I CAN HELP YOU

COACHING

Discover what makes you and your team impactful and gets you in the flow in a short coaching session on the digital whiteboard. We ask inspiring questions – you report on concrete situations. The ideal introduction to a learning journey towards flexibility, courage, good conversations and better decisions!

CHANGE PROCESSES

Critical reflection and a change of perspective are key to dealing with complex issues more easily and approaching solutions holistically. This requires dialog rooms in which a future narrative emerges, fully supported by employees and customers. The first step? Let’s start with a ‘cultural detox’.

COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

Generation Z is the future of our economy. Today’s graduates desire balance between New Work, sustainability and business success. Funded by the EU and Innosuisse, we have founded a Community of Practice (CoP) for the professional “Purpose Match” between generations.
