About Petra

Hello, I am Petra. I guide organizations safely through change: From the initial idea to sustainable implementation in daily operations. My focus areas are Change Management, Organizational Development, and Leadership Development. I am often brought in when transformations stall, projects are conceived but haven't yet "arrived in the company," or stakeholders are not pulling together.

In my work, I combine strategy, structure, and people: I develop clear change paths, create orientation, consistently involve leaders, and translate large programs into concrete capabilities. For me, it's not about what was planned, but what is actually lived in the company at the end. I benefit from being able to quickly grasp all technical topics, "think myself into" my client organizations, and quickly gain acceptance as a consultant and sparring partner, both personally and professionally.

My clients particularly value three things:
1. I win people over for change - not through pressure, but through resonance, emotional intelligence, and genuine understanding of needs and resistances.
2. I take responsibility for implementation and results. This means I don't just moderate the process, but ensure deliverability, speed, and acceptance.
3. I move confidently at all levels - from the team to the C-suite - and establish alignment where different interests, goals, and cultures meet.

Typical fields of application:
•⁠ ⁠Reorganizations and operating model adjustments
•⁠ ⁠Post-merger integrations and culture harmonization
•⁠ ⁠Leadership and team development within transformations
•⁠ ⁠Implementation of new processes, roles, and ways of working (classic / agile / hybrid)
•⁠ ⁠Support for IT system introductions (e.g., SAP S/4HANA) including change, role, and competence development
•⁠ ⁠Support for digital & cultural changes
