Board Advisory Services/Senior Team Advisory

Only teams can make really good decisions. We help you to turn a group of individuals into a team capable of dialogue and decision-making!

Dr. Claudia Nagel

In management teams and supervisory board teams, the quality of the decision-making processes is constantly influenced by the composition of the team and the quality of the co-operation. Good decisions are based on a balanced judgement, in which different ideas, beliefs and assumptions can be discussed in the open. Management teams do, however, often lack an open, efficient and well-developed dialogue culture.

There are many different reasons for this, ranging from personal disagreements to subliminal conflicts and right through to the assumption of historic ‘fronts’ within the company. NAGEL & COMPANY is able to work with the individuals and the entire team to establish a more efficient and open co-operation and thus improve the quality of the decisions made.

Case Study 1

The management team of a financial service provider is no longer perceived as being as constructive a partner as was previously the case due to various occurrences and a change within the team. The team culture and quality of the co-operation can be improved with 2 years of assistance and a series of workshops and supplementary individual discussions. A subsequent managerial change is ultimately no longer seen as a threat to the team environment but rather as an opportunity to further develop as a team.

Case Study 2

The top management team of an international company initially lacks mutual trust and the willingness to work together across all departments as a result of a managerial change. The work conducted with this top management team led to new insights into the need for openness, diversity and communication. Establishing an effective communication culture resulted in a completely modified, open and constructive management dialogue.
