Best practice examples from the business world
How transformation works
In the new season, things get practical, as we discuss real-life examples with former clients based on their companies and highlight successful transformations. The fact that so many of my customers were willing to share insights from their projects is absolutely not a matter of course. A big thank you to Maren Wieser, Philipp Riethmüller, Anja Bachmann and Isabelle Ehrler for the great interviews and valuable insights.
Four interviews. Four cases. An infinite number of learnings.
#1: Hybrid work without chaos? Vitagroup shows how it's done.
What do you do when you are looking for the best talent across Europe, but your own infrastructure is still designed for presence? Vitagroup - a health tech company with over 20 years of experience - faced precisely this challenge. Together with Prof. Dr. Johanna Bath and Talentista, a consistent remote-first strategy was developed. How have performance, human centricity and culture been the focus since then, rather than an obligation to be present? In this podcast episode, Maren Wieser from Vitagroup reports on how a hybrid working model with a clear structure and communication has led to international performance. A practical example of modern organizational design, cultural development and the future of work.
#2: How do you plan a town hall today for the work of tomorrow?
Philipp Riethmüller, Head of the Main Office of the City of Reutlingen, reports about an unusually bold projectThe realignment of the administration through a hybrid working model - parallel to the structural renovation of the town hall. Together with Talentista, we talked not only about space, but also about attitude. How do we want to work in the future? This episode shows how the city of Reutlingen is working with Talentista to develop a hybrid working model for around 3,000 employees - setting standards for the public sector. The focus is on human centricity, strategic spatial planning and the combination of culture and infrastructure. A practical example of future-oriented work organization in administration.

The challenge: different structures, cultures and starting positions. An exciting look behind the scenes of strategic cultural development - with relevance for all those who not only want to think about transformation, but also experience it. This podcast episode shows how BVR has developed an innovative learning format together with Talentista to rethink hybrid working models, human centricity and leadership. The mobile learning journey creates space for reflection, exchange and concrete impulses for the future of work in the banking sector.
#4: Hybrid SAP projects: Leadership in the field of tension between technology, transformation and team dynamics
How do you manage a global transformation project when the team is spread across five time zones, the client is reluctant to spend money on presence and nobody knows who is actually responsible? With Isabel Ehrler from CBS Consulting discusses precisely these questions. Together with Talentista, a training series was designed to rethink leadership in hybrid SAP projects. The episode is aimed at project managers, change managers and decision-makers in IT transformations who not only want to allow hybrid working models, but also want to shape them. This podcast episode is about hybrid leadership in large SAP transformation projects. Isabel Ehrler and Johanna Bath report from a joint training series and provide practical insights into tools, routines and decision-making processes. An impulse for all those who want to strengthen hybrid working models in project work and consciously shape the future of work.
