Consultancies and Training Organisations:
Dear fellow contributors,
Are YOU ready to level up your game?

Design Thinking and agile methodology have arrived in organisations and are getting integrated in entire companies. Now it's time to drive the transformation. To facilitate the implementation of innovative and agile approaches as a consultancy or training organisation, you need special talent to deliver high-impact customer experiences and successfully transform business models, organisational cultures, processes and the mindsets of people.
BUT
You know the challenges when providing value for your customers:
High Competitiveness
Attracting and serving clients in a competitive marketplace is most challenging. Agile and Design Thinking are established service now and no longer a USP for you. Now it is all about how to implement and add additional value for clients.
How do you add unique value in a crowded world?
Service Fragmentation
Fragmented solutions by various service providers in a fast-paced world are the norm. Providing systemic impact through an integrative perspective is urgently needed but difficult to achieve in this patchwork of different solutions.
How do you apply big picture thinking for impact?
Forgetting the Human
Digital transformation is culture and people transformation but long-term integration is most difficult. Focusing on tech, product and strategy is not enough and misses to deliver real impact on human mindsets.
How do you focus on the human?
Lack of Network Partners
Consulting and Training itself is going through massive change and you have to stay relevant and up-to-date through collaboration and a networked approach. But finding the right partner is difficult.
How do you find professional partners?
Lack of International Perspective
The world is complex today. Understanding global developments, cultures and innovation from not only the West but the East and China is essential to stay competitive and understand innovation needs today.
How do you find rare expertise on China and Asia?
Lack of Exeptional Talent
Finding exceptional talent and experienced employees with holistic and complex thinking skills as well as creative ability, broad skillsets and achieving mindset to implement new approaches is hard.
How do you find exeptional talent for exeptional value creation?
You know the challenges and you know:
Your clients need radical change to transform and to stay competitive. That means: so do you!
You know you need to create high-impact experiences,
but how do you keep it fresh and different?
Are you set up for creativity and exceptionally new perspectives to offer to your clients?
Because that's what you need to solve the complex problems of your clients in the age of uncertainty, complexity and technology.
Creativity is now as important as literacy and we should treat it with the same status. (...) (But) you can't just give someone a creativity injection. You have to create an environment for curiosity and a way to encourage people and get the best out of them. (...) Learning in and about the arts is essential to intellectual development.

Most important for collaboration:
Do we share the same mindset?
My mindset and attitude as The Business Artist is curious, intentional, impact-focused and value-driven. Quick learning and constant search for meaning and purpose are the foundation for creating and crafting the future.
Looking at things from a holistic perspective is needed in today's world. Connecting the dots based on values, human AND social and ecological needs and sustainable standards is essential to come up with healthy solutions. Creativity is the skill of the 21st century to create those solutions. Collaboration, engagement and co-creation are key aspects here. The mantra is: there can never be to many ideas! By doing things differently we can achieve new results and redefine our opinion. Challenging the status quo is required for a shift in mindset and positive change in the world. For that, we need the human being as the essential part of transformation starting with themselves. If we infuse purpose and meaning as a human basic need in growth and development we can craft a positive future.
Judith Hartlmaier, The Business Artist

I'm all about collaboration with the right kind of people.
So this is about the fit: our chemistry, shared mindset and values.
It is also about combining complemetary profiles for more value in business.

If you want to work with me, do the following:

  • Invite me for a day to work with you and your team
  • Just throw me into cold water, I will dive right in
  • Get all the value I bring: bustling ideas, expertise, passion, etc.
  • See it for yourself. Listen to your gut and...

...YOU DECIDE.

Then Make a decision:
You don't like what you see:
We part, one more experience richer, you pay the travel expenses, nothing more, that's it.
You like what you see:
You decide for the value of my work for that day
I give you my perspective and we talk about our options for the future.

But be quick: It's Ending on the 20th of December 2019.
You are one of the few potential partners hand-picked by me.
As soon as my calendar is filled, the spots are gone.
If we do not change the way we teach, 30 years from now we'll be in trouble. The things we teach (...) are things from the past 200 years - it's knowledge-based. And we cannot teach our kids to compete with machines, they are smarter.
I think we should teach our kids sports, music, painting - the arts - to make sure that they are different. Everything we teach should make them different from machines.
