When key issues are no longer making progress

Many business owners and CEOs struggle with difficult decisions on their own for a long time: growth has stalled, sales aren’t meeting expectations, the organization is becoming more complex, or the leadership team needs clear direction. That’s exactly where Executive Sparring comes in—confidential, focused, and on equal footing.

  • Leadership

    Regular sparring sessions on growth, leadership, organization, and difficult decisions—without ongoing operational responsibility.

  • Project Leadership

    For clearly defined projects, operational project management can be supplemented by experienced partners such as Dr. Bernd Wenzel.

  • Change Management

    Clarifying issues related to change: What is the real problem, what decision needs to be made, and how can it be communicated effectively?

  • Interventions

    Focused intervention for critical issues: 4 to 8 weeks, clearly defined problem, clear results.

  • Restructuring

    Simplify the organizational structure: Clarify roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes.

  • Transformation

    Positioning the strategic realignment: Aligning growth, market, sales, and organization with the next phase of the company.

Questions & Answers

What is executive sparring?

  • Executive Sparring is a regular, confidential exchange with the owner or CEO. The focus is on growth, sales, leadership, organization, and difficult decisions. It is neither traditional consulting nor a long-term operational role, but rather a focused format designed to foster clarity and progress.

  • Our process consists of five steps: initial consultation, quote, finalization, contract, and start of the assignment:

    1. A no-obligation initial consultation to discuss your situation and concerns.

    2. Proposal for format and layout.

    3. Start of a 3- to 6-month collaboration or a clearly defined targeted intervention.

    4. Regular coaching sessions that outline specific next steps.

  • Our core offering is executive coaching without ongoing operational responsibility. In select cases, specific operational assignments, project management, or organizational design can be handled by experienced partners such as Dr. Bernd Wenzel.

  • Executive coaching is typically arranged as a monthly retainer. The scope depends on the intensity, duration, and desired availability. Targeted interventions are offered on a project-by-project basis.
