Stay strong, become stronger.

We’re companions and a source of inspiration during changes and crises. For more than 15 years, we’ve been supporting managers and organizations in their rethinking and as they develop the necessary skills to do so. We make a strategic and operational contribution to ensure that our customers master tough times successfully. Enabling them to stay strong and become stronger

Active companion with much experience.
We create a clear view when complexity obscures the view. We make strategy and organizational development communicable. We demonstrate innovative paths and pragmatic solutions for change. We actively support project work and convey our knowledge, methodology and experience. Enabling our customers to develop their own "core competence of the ability to change", build up emotional stability within the company and thus, provide constant support and orientation.

We offer momentum, not a rigid process.
As change specialists, we think, argue, plan and work together with our clients' top management and project teams. Together we develop a common thread, make the target image tangible, develop a conceptual approach. Let’s get to it! With the knowledge that we will learn a lot along the way, adapt and thus, achieve even more. Experiences and reactions from individual measures are continuously integrated into our planning, such as events in day-to-day business that are currently difficult to predict.

..

Learning curve beats perfect planning.

Today, change happens far too fast to be met with perfect planning. Proven solution patterns are no longer efficient. The ability to change becomes a decisive competitive advantage: What counts is the willingness to bravely embrace new ideas, long before the path to take is clearly in sight.
We’ll guide you along this path because we know how and where to tread.

Change is crisis protection.
Companies that can adapt quickly to new circumstances are not only more competitive; they’re also well-prepared for crises, when it comes to reacting quickly to critical situations in the market, in competition or the global economy.
Our 15 years of experience make it possible to help you through difficult times.

Communication as the key.
Communication becomes the central key competence of managers. Because it’s their persuasiveness that provides orientation and security during change. They can transform fears and worries into positive energy, to trigger activity. Willingness to change can’t be “ordered". It has to be exemplified, from the top down.
Communication is at the core of our DNA.

Our demands upon ourselves: speed, agility & feasibility.

Cooperation with our customers typically begins with important change projects. Often, these projects are also a starting point for rethinking within the company, leading towards a greater ability to change and a new manner of cooperation. Knowledge, experience and intuition from different specialist fields must be brought together; connected by a common certainty, and with a joy for shaping the future. We’re always at our customer’s side. These demands we place upon ourselves:

More value.
We continuously pursue two goals: The specific, successful change and at the same time, the development of the ability to change.

Speed counts.
We’re used to delving into the mindset of the companies and projects, from one day to the next.
We know how to make an impact quickly and to drive change.

Be agile.
Of course, we’re also capable of change. Regardless of pace, speed, or topics:
We’re aware of what is feasible, we adapt to the procedure flexibly; without losing sight of the goal.

Make it feasible.
We are specialists with a great deal experience and even more passion for our job.
We bundle changes into steps that can be immediately taken and translated into actions during everyday life.

In short: We prepare you for tomorrow's challenges. With our proven methodology and always focused on our customers.

How does that work?

Managers expand their communication skills for change processes

Finding roles, conveying messages, helping to shape change

Why is this running so sluggish?

Challenge identified, culture gap analysis introduced, roll-out process changed.

How do we deal with "agility"?

Innovation, Industry 4.0, an agile team

Coaching the team, explaining the task, clarifying opportunities and interpreting agility.

What does the new boss want?

800 employees, a new CEO, boosting potential

Creating trust, sharpening strategy, changing cooperation.

Sand in the gears?

A changing industry, preparing a change of generations, securing the future

Retaining employees, adjusting the organization, appointing a successor’s domain.

Who acts how?

Setting objectives, triggering the team, taking an organization along

Fewer subsidiaries, more customer proximity?

Recognizing the future, tearing down silos, tackling issues together

Clarifying roles, creating with managers, deriving precise steps.

Who we have already accompanied

Change ignores no industry

No industry exists that doesn't underlie change. In some industries, it occurs at breakneck speed, and in others, change takes place quietly, and suddenly calls the entire business model into question. Fellows & Sparks has accompanied projects in many industries and various companies of all sizes. We’ve learned a lot about the specific characteristics of the industries. However, regardless of where we operate, at the end of the day, change always affects people. Moreover, people differ only marginally in their basic hopes, desires, worries and doubts. Their expectations of leadership and cooperation are more influenced by the corporate culture in which they live than by the business segment in which they work. Fellows & Sparks unite industry knowledge with a knowledge of human nature. We translate strategies and structures into a language that people understand. In this way, we create conditions for familiarizing ourselves with change and transferring it into our own decisions and actions - only in this way can change succeed.
