Our awards range from consulting to innovation to all design disciplines.
Consulting? Mentoring or coaching? Benefits on different levels
Before we do “something” with you and your business, we consider “why” and “for what purpose” it should be done. Once we know that, we think about “how” we can implement it together with you. To do this, we don’t take folders or templates out of the cabinet, but rather design and create the appropriate consulting services based on our own methods which are always tailor-made for you.
"We create future":Consulting and strategy competence for your "day after tomorrow"...
The desire for advice seems to be omnipresent and is always highly individual. Questions about the meaning and culture of the company are increasingly taking up space. There is a great need for a suitable strategy to achieve goals in these changing times. This often starts with a first advice from our side: “Let’s talk about the future…”, because in our experience dealing with the future is not as easy as it seems.
Every company has one or potentially several different futures, and nobody really knows what that might be. That’s why we often start strategic consulting right there – in the future, then we work on possible goals, strategies and the creative ways to get there.
"We accompany organizations on their paths":Mentoring and the competence of conception for transformation
Culture development in organizations is a big topic because it has been recognized that values, attitudes and narratives have a significant impact on the organization’s capacity for change and transformation. For better or for worse. If you are now thinking about the potential success or failure of your future journey, you are right. New work and new working methods are just as much a part of the “skills” of an organization, as new organizational models and new leadership, and they need to be understood and learned. With experience and conceptual strength in change projects, we accompany you in such a way that you can start the transformation tomorrow.
"Staying on track and arriving at your destination with training and coaching":Coaching and Creative Competence as success factors in the here and now.
Whatever we really want to change, we usually have to learn and practice first. For us to arrive, we not only need goals with a future and a view for different paths. We also need to begin to see what it means for organizations and people to act and decide. This, in turn, is not so easy in a complex world; it requires courage, possibility and creativity. People have these capabilities – in organizations these attributes are often buried. We release these and other abilities and thus provide the organizations with the necessary energy to create and move forward every day on the way to their goals.

"Are designers better consultants?"
We cannot decide whether our consulting services are actually better for you. However, it is clear – not in the least due to the current TOP Consultant Award – that designers can advise differently and with additional methods than colleagues with other knowledge backgrounds. In a way, our competence is based on three fields:
- Systemic consulting and organizational development competence
- Interdisciplinary design and design competence
- Entrepreneurial and strategic competence
From our customers’ point of view, this adds up to an innovative and unique consulting base for an incredibly broad range of topics.
Holger Bramsiepe
GENERATIONDESIGN
Managing Partner
For over 30 years, my passion has belonged to design. While at the beginning of my work it was mainly about product design, today I design much more with our team and colleagues inside. From innovation to strategies, organizations and corporate culture to the “future” itself. Everything can be designed. In doing so, I want people to become creative designers of the future so that we can all work together to create a better day after tomorrow.
To do this, it has always been necessary to learn. In addition to the relevant real-world and digital design subject areas, I early on traversed the fields of future trends, innovation, brand and design management, systemic consulting, ‘new work’ and business development.
Keith Alan Koster
GENERATIONDESIGN
Managing Partner
For over 25 years, I have been successfully developing and designing new strategies and concepts between the physical and the digital to optimize the future viability of our clients.
In doing so, I combine the different levels and channels into a holistic concept and, as a designer, accompany the target achievement of the planned change.
Last but not least, our clients benefit from my own extensive professional sales experience as well as numerous concepts of sales strategies for clients.
