Change Management Darmstadt

Darmstadt is a city of science with the TU, Fraunhofer Institutes and ESA/ESOC - change processes meet highly qualified specialists here.

Why change management is so important, especially in Darmstadt

The high density of regulated financial and insurance companies in the Darmstadt area leads to strict compliance requirements. Mergers, post-merger integrations and IT transformations often have to take place under high public scrutiny. Without systematic change support, there is a risk of frictional losses, productivity losses and an endangered employer brand.

Typical challenges faced by our customers

• High proportion of international teams - intercultural communication & virtual collaboration
• Strict BaFin, ECB or EBA requirements that complicate change processes
• Skepticism from specialist departments towards new cloud or data governance platforms
• Parallel programmes (e.g. sustainability, cost reduction, digitalization)
