Rezensionen

'The step-by-step approach and structure enable a truly holistic analysis of the organizational architecture in a realistic time frame. This is a rare example of how to turn extremely complex business challenges into tangible actions by adding the right structure and perspective. De-scoping relevant organizational variables to reduce complexity can now be a thing of the past.' Jesper Sørensen, Organisation Design Manager, Shell Downstream
