The Challenge
Of all the sectors, software and IT is most affected by the increasing speed of today’s economy. Few others have changed as much in the past 20 years. A natural consequence has been the emergence of new demands from sector employees. They want more flexibility, more self-determination, and more opportunities for unlocking their potential. In August 2019, SIEVERS-GROUP, an IT company with just under 300 employees, was faced with the challenge of merging three smaller divisions into one large division with 150 employees. Shortly before, the management team developed a new corporate mission statement, in which they agreed on a new, responsible and people-centred corporate vision. The upcoming restructuring thus became the lynchpin of profound cultural change. We had the privilege of helping the SIEVERS-GROUP build a new, self-organized division.
Disruption is an opportunity for profound change
How do we manage to take 150 people on a journey to an open future? Our answer: We let them find their own way.
