Transformation support according to the 2Leadership principle

2Leadership provides professional support and consulting to European Executives and Leaders of large and mid-sized companies in their transformation projects.

We carry out a content and cultural analysis to develop an inspiring picture of the desired state, and guide and respectively develop the management population to enable them to lead the implementation of the transformation efficiently and effectively at all levels.

To this end, we dovetail the cultural and strategic factors from the outset in such a way that the managers and employees involved actively contribute to the implementation. We offer effective methods to bring about important changes quickly.

The biggest challenge in the context of a transformation

The biggest challenge is to empower people for change and to create the right framework conditions for them to dare to do something new beyond their comfort zone or need for security, no matter what the triggers for the change in the company are.

It is always about activating the people involved so that they can accept changes and want to make their contribution in line with the desired future state. The way in which it is implemented is crucial. We show you which success factors are critical for this and how you can secure them through your management culture.

Classic triggers that we
encounter in our work

Digital transformation (introduction of ERP, CRM, sales, IT processes and AI models)

Digital business models as portfolio expansion or restructuring of market-offerings

Innovation backlog or backlog in the adaptation of market changes (organizational agility)

Market changes (new competitors, changing demand, change in sales strategy)

Growth Across Complexity Boundaries

Supply Chain Changes

Energy transition

Sustainability
(ESG – Ecological, Social & Governance Responsibility)

Changing business models

Cost pressure, declining profitability

M&A
(mergers & acquisitions)

Generational change in top management or among the owners

Why the right transformation support is crucial

Transformation is not daily business. After an often-long phase of continuity in corporate development, the responsible managers often simply lack the experience and knowledge of how to effectively set a change process in motion and keep it in implementation in parallel with the operational burden

The classic consulting services focus exclusively on the systemic factors in their work. The analysis and development of the desired future state includes all technical aspects of the organizational structure and processes, as well as the project planning of the strategic initiatives. The implementation, as well as the responsibility for ensuring that the people involved participate, cannot be mapped in a project plan, but requires the inclusion of cultural factors and the empowerment of the responsible managers to implement the strategy under high operational load. That is why we accompany you in the implementation and offer various development and implementation formats that provide you with success factors, skills, and tools to lead the transformation to success in a participative manner, and to cultivate change agility in general.

What customers say about us, our methods and our work

You can’t see the forest for all the transformation consultants – experts – coaching – consulting trees? Your strategy or transformation consultant says that the implementation will succeed if you stick to their plan? Are you worried that a new strategy will be defined with another consultant that means a lot of work, time and money, but still does not get the urgently needed transformation into action?
