Transformation is the process of changing from a current state to a desired target state over an unspecified period of time. A transformation represents a fundamental and lasting change.

A man slowly climbs the career ladder. What is transformation?

Due to higher levels of technology and increasing complexity in our corporate environment, more and above all faster changes are becoming increasingly important. Because transformation is not an end in itself. In nature, it is not the strongest who survive, but the most adaptable. It's exactly the same in markets. Companies are successful when they constantly keep up with market requirements and, ideally, shape them themselves at some point. Would you like an example? Just a few years ago, major German cities were literally flooded with bike-sharing bicycles. Within a very short time, however, the framework conditions changed and the business model was overtaken by street-legal e-scooters. Basically, the half-life of business models is shrinking more and more.

A planned change

Transformation can be understood as a planned redesign of a company's DNA. It is often associated with a fundamental transformation of a company's relationship with individual stakeholders and with its economic and social environment. Through a transformation, relationships with the actors in an organization are fundamentally and sustainably redefined. It automatically affects the entire company - not just individual parts.

The best-known and probably most comprehensive social transformation of our time is referred to as "digital transformation". Almost all organizations – regardless of type, location or market power – are also exposed to it. How companies deal with such changes will largely determine whether organizations can emerge as winners or losers.

In coaching, we reflect on self-image and the image of others, encourage agile and adaptive approaches and open up many new ideas and solutions through changing perspectives.

transformation and coaching

Companies are in constant change, strategically, structurally, culturally. Even experienced executives and leadersteams face great challenges. Her main task is to manage the balancing act between her employees' hope for improvement and their fear of the unknown. The transformation coaching supports you in the early involvement of employees, in making clear decisions and in developing your participatory management style.

Most change processes fail because of the human factor. Only those who manage to keep their employees from the need of Changes Convincing people and getting them enthusiastic about change can shape transformation successfully. An agile environment requires a different understanding of leadership than traditional hierarchical organizations. The focus is on leaders who take responsibility, create positive framework conditions, enable potential development and empower and motivate their employees and are their contact persons.

Coaching is not expert advice - because you are your own expert for coherent, well-dosed solutions. Coaching is a solution-oriented process that expands your skills, opens up scope and transforms patterns through self-discovery and supported self-exploration. A different, more differentiated relationship to the so-called "problem" creates new, more targeted solution patterns. Also, learn more about in this article Hybrid working models.

The first priority of the coaching process is a resource-oriented clarification of the task, in which we agree with you on an equal footing about what you want to achieve or change. Once you have defined your goal, spaces are created that enable you to develop helpful solutions for yourself. More options arise to get to know alternative courses of action and to prepare various implementation strategies through trial actions. The coaching process is a moving and sometimes exciting journey of discovery through possibilities that you have never experienced before. It allows personal growth, especially where it previously seemed difficult. Have you already read our article about Corona coaching had read?

Change or transformation - what's the difference?

Change means the planning and implementation of specific actions that affect either sub-areas or the entire company. Change is often the reaction to certain grievances in the company: too high costs, too little turnover, too long production times, too high employee turnover, etc. The change is handled like a project. In change, the goal is known. It may be adjusted during implementation. But it always remains clear to everyone involved.

Transformation, on the other hand, refers to a large number of mutually influencing factors, to the entirety of a socio-cultural system. The goal of the transformation is to move from the old to the new, to redefine business models, to reinvent the company. The goals are therefore more of a visionary nature. It is necessary to redevelop the entire corporate vision and draw a new picture of the future. Transformation is therefore a long-term, ideally never-ending process in which the company keeps reinventing itself.

In short: every transformation is always a change, but not every change is a transformation.

Transformations are more unpredictable than change projects because in most cases they affect many business units. The risks are also usually higher with transformations, since even the management does not always know exactly where the journey is going. Cause and effect are often not deterministically linked. The company is in a vast field of common learning. This means that your employees also need new skills for the transformation. Use the opportunity of coaching for this.
