Our collaboration with Kontur Beratung focuses on the decisions behind a business challenge. What is the organisation trying to achieve? Which priorities deserve attention? How should responsibilities be organised? What needs to change for a plan to become workable?

Kontur brings a perspective on business direction, organisational design and change. Mayerfeld connects that perspective with business processes, operational improvement and the practical demands of implementation. The ambition is continuity between the reasoning behind a decision and the actions that follow it.

Business diagnostics and priorities

Examining a challenge from strategic and operational perspectives, identifying the choices underneath it and agreeing a useful starting point.

Roles, responsibilities and ways of working

Exploring how decisions, handovers and accountability affect the delivery of business priorities, then shaping changes that people can understand and use.

From direction to implementation

Translating an agreed direction into a practical sequence of actions, with clear ownership, dependencies and points for reviewing progress.

Project and change reviews

Bringing an additional perspective to initiatives that need sharper priorities, clearer decisions or a more realistic route forward.

The intended value for clients is advice that stays connected to delivery. Strategic questions can inform operational decisions, while the realities of implementation help test whether a proposed direction is workable.

Our collaboration with Etappenwerk Akademie centres on helping people put knowledge to work. It connects Mayerfeld's practical business and project perspective with Etappenwerk's focus on learning through exercises, discussion and situations that teams recognise from their working lives.

The partnership creates opportunities to connect organisational needs with professional development in project management, stakeholder communication, collaboration and leadership. Learning activities can support the changes a team is trying to make and give participants a concrete opportunity to practise.

Learning needs and programme design

Identifying the situations a team finds difficult and shaping learning objectives around the capabilities needed to handle them.

Practical workshops

Developing learning formats around planning, prioritisation, useful meetings, stakeholder conversations and collaboration across teams.

Case-based learning

Turning suitable business scenarios into exercises that invite participants to compare options, explain their reasoning and consider the consequences of a decision.

Applying learning at work

Supporting specific next steps through practical templates, reflection and follow-up activities where included in the agreed programme.

The aim is learning that continues beyond a session: a clearer project brief, a better stakeholder conversation, a more useful team agreement or greater confidence about what to do next.
