Faithful companions: our partners
They support us with their complementary skills and are fully trusted.
Company Companions – The owner-run consultancy firm company companions helps medium-sized and large companies, foundations and other organisations with strategically important changes. We both understand that a change in culture can only be successful in the long term if it is fostered constantly. company companions therefore sees itself as a driving force of change, while also guiding change processes in the long term and in close coordination with management. Like Menschenkenner, it focuses in particular on what it believes and has found to be the most important success factor: the people in the organisation, good management, a clear strategy and a living corporate culture. The staff at company companions have many years of consulting and management experience and are able to offer independent judgements.
fairantworten – A systemic supervisor and coach, Jörg Kappel guides managers, groups and teams through change processes.
Knowing how to do something doesn’t mean you can do it, and Kappel’s consultancy and seminars therefore build on an experience-based analysis of content. For Menschenkenner, he oversees supervision and coaching in organisational processes and supports development processes and events with his accurate visualisations and graphic recording.
Jörg Kappel fosters openness and understanding with his patience, methodical skills and humour. He creates an environment in which people can work together constructively on their issues, discover their potential and find adequate solutions.
frei.wild Improvisation Theatre – Ninja Schröder and Jörg Zander are actors and trainers in applied improvisation at the frei.wild Improvisation Theatre in Berlin. Together they established the initiative IMPROVing. In their training sessions, they apply the philosophy of improvisation theatre to the corporate and educational context – they change perspectives, switch roles, ask for the courage to take risks! They invite participants into the world of improvisation with their creative and interactive approach. Reflecting on personal attitudes plays an important role in particular if openness, an environment for learning from mistakes, personal comfort zones and a willingness to change are to be brought to life. An exciting process that goes hand in hand with Menschenkenner’s objectives, brings input from another profession into the interdisciplinary team and enriches cooperation.
Heiko Franken is a business angel and is very familiar with numerous industries, having previously been a partner at BCG.
He knows, as a systemic coach and team developer, what companies and advisers must do and can perform both roles authentically. His analytical and strategic understanding provides quick and reliable guidance in the assessment of complex matters.
Anna Cardillo used to work at Menschenkenner and remains close to the company, both personally and professionally.
As a lawyer and certified data protection manager, she knows precisely which areas need to be improved in an increasingly digital corporate world. Her many years of experience in the field and expertise also make her an important adviser for our internal processes.
heretonow focuses on moving communication. The strengths of the Berlin agency can be summed up quickly – interdisciplinary, authentic, creative. heretonow offers a broad portfolio and is our reliable partner for designing incentive programmes, employee trips and all events aimed at increasing employee motivation. The agency is our partner for authentically setting our company culture.
