Training & Coaching — Taught From the Field, Not Slideware

"Our project managers are technically strong — but they have never stood in a 2 a.m. cutover with a board waiting for Monday. Our executives must lead hybrid organisations they have never worked in. Generic certification courses won't close that gap."

If that sounds familiar, you are in the right place. I have trained and coached senior and executive staff since 2007 — across industries from oil & gas to pharmaceuticals, automotive and IT — and every session draws on the same source: programmes I personally led. Methodology is taught, practised and stress-tested with the scars to prove it. That is the difference between knowing the framework and surviving the field.

What I Teach

Field-Grounded, Participant-Adapted

Every seminar is customised to the experience level in the room — I do not run the same slides at a junior PMO that I run at a steering committee. And the examples are real: the cutover that nearly failed, the stakeholder who nearly blocked, the estimation that was nearly believed. Participants leave with judgement, not just vocabulary.

Agile & Hybrid Programme Management

SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, DevOps and Lean — taught by a certified SAFe Coach, Scrum Master and Kanban Management Professional who has introduced all of them into organisations of 1,500+ people. When the framework fights reality, you learn which bends — and how to decide.

Classical Methods — Properly Taught

PMI/IPMA and PRINCE II, Management by Objectives: for contexts where classical structures are the right answer — regulated environments, fixed legal deadlines, high-hazard operations. Trained as PMI and IPMA Trainer myself.

Goal Management & OKRs

From cascade thinking to OKR cycles that actually drive behaviour — including the hard part: what to do with the objectives nobody wants to own.

Leadership in Agile & Hybrid Organisations

Servant leadership that isn't servility: leading through influence in organisations where the org chart no longer defines the power. For executives and senior managers navigating the role change.

Moderation & Large-Scale Facilitation

Workshop facilitation, Big Room Planning, PI Planning — moderating groups of fifty to several hundred people to a decision. Structured chaos, visibly orchestrated.

Individual Executive Coaching

One-on-one work on goals, strengths and perspectives — with a practical guarantee: real project support alongside the coaching. Teach by example is not a slogan; it is how the sessions work.

Seminar on programme management methods — hands-on exercise with whiteboards and Kanban boards

From a real seminar — the method practice, not the theory.

Formats & Languages

Pick the shape that fits — content adapts to the room, not the reverse.

1-on-1 Coaching

Confidential executive work over weeks or months, with real-project accompaniment.

Team Workshops

Half-day to multi-day sessions for intact teams: PMOs, leadership circles, delivery units.

2–3 Day Intensives

Compact deep-dives for groups that need substantial capability in short time.

Running-Project Assessments

Training in its sharpest form: I audit your live programme with your team — and they learn where it hurts.

Why It Works

Trainer Who Still Delivers

I train between programmes, not instead of them. The methods I teach are the methods I currently lead with — refreshed by reality, not frozen in 2007.

Two Languages, Native Depth

Full delivery in English and German at C2 level — including Swiss German, which matters more in a workshop in Zürich than most trainers expect.

Seniority Matched

Executives learn differently from project managers, and project managers learn differently from graduates. I adjust pace, depth and challenge accordingly — and I have sat in all three chairs myself.
