Frequently asked questions

No. 30 minutes, free of charge and without obligation. Within about 50 kilometres of Lörrach — including Basel and the surrounding area — I am happy to come to you for it at no charge.

You do not need to prepare anything or bring documents. You describe your situation, I ask questions and put things in order: what is critical, what can wait, where are the risks? By the end you know how I would proceed — or you hear from me that you do not need me. That is a result too.

Within 48 hours, personally from me. You speak directly with me — not with an assistant and not with a sales team.

Yes. Both the enquiry and the discovery call are free and without obligation. You describe your initiative, I tell you openly what I make of it — with no commitment.

No. You buy nothing in this call and commit to nothing. Afterwards you decide in your own time — I only follow up if you explicitly ask me to.

There are actually two reasons: 1. Because I stay available to my clients at short notice for certain initiatives, automated scheduling is not always possible. 2. Because this website deliberately runs without cookies and without tracking. An embedded booking tool would bring both. Instead you suggest times that suit you in the form and I confirm the appointment personally by email.

OCM — Organizational Change Management — is the structured way of guiding people through a change. It ensures a new solution is not just introduced technically but accepted and lived by the people affected — instead of being worked around.

Whether an initiative succeeds is decided by people, not technology. The most common reason projects fail or stall is resistance and a lack of acceptance — not technical faults. Change management addresses exactly that: it brings people along early, creates clarity, and anchors the change so the intended benefit actually materialises.

Yes — almost always. As soon as ways of working, processes, roles or systems change, people are affected. For me OCM therefore belongs in every initiative: as a standalone change project where useful, and in smaller initiatives as a natural part of project steering — right-sized, never for its own sake.

Yes. OCM can be a standalone engagement — or an integral part of a transformation, project rescue or project leadership. What makes sense in your case we clarify in a discovery call.

No — ITaaS usually means running IT operations as a service, for example through an IT provider with an operations team. My offering is IT leadership: interim CIO, project/programme management and PMO on demand. Closest to the operations idea are my interim cover in IT service management and infrastructure projects for SMEs — both with a clear end and handover, not continuous operations.

You buy the capability of a project management office flexibly instead of building your own department: portfolio prioritisation, consistent methods and a reliable status picture for your leadership. That is exactly what I offer under PMO & Portfolio Management — scaled to your needs, with a clean handover to your organisation.

Project leadership as a flexibly purchased service instead of a permanent hire: an experienced project or programme manager takes on your initiative for its duration — from clean setup to rescuing a project that is going off the rails. That corresponds to my Project & Programme Management service.

I replace no one — I support and strengthen your IT leadership: as a sparring partner, a mentor and extra capacity when you need it. During peaks or critical phases in particular, I work as a peer with your team, with knowledge transfer and a clean handover.

Yes, I handle the majority of my engagements myself — which means a single, reliable point of contact for you, without friction from changing teams. For topics that need specialist expertise outside my focus, I draw on a network of experienced experts whom I bring in specifically as needed.

That depends on the task. An interim CIO engagement often runs on a few days per month; a project rescue needs considerably more at the start. We agree the scope together after the discovery call.
