I build bridges.
Between perspectives.
Between strategy and implementation.
Between those at the top and those at the bottom.
Between what is thought and what is said.
As a systemic coach and consultant, I support managers and teams in change processes - with a dramaturgical eye and systemic expertise.
Der Plan ist der erste Schritt.
Die Umsetzung der zweite.
Dazwischen liegt der Moment, in dem Realität sichtbar wird.
Was bedeutet das konkret für Rollen- und Aufgabenverteilung?
Welche Erwartungen haben sich verändert?
Welche Entscheidungen sind jetzt notwendig?
Genau das bleibt oft ungeklärt.
Nicht aus mangelndem Engagement.
Sondern weil Anspruch und Wirklichkeit noch nicht aufeinander bezogen sind.
Genau hier beginnt meine Arbeit.
The cinematic perspective in the organizational world
Twenty years in the film industry have taught me one thing: Good stories don't come from perfect screenplays. They come from when people truly connect with each other.
That's precisely what I bring to my consulting work. I see what's happening between the lines. I hear what isn't being said. And I create spaces where both have a place.
What sets me apart from other consultants is that I bring both worlds together: the dramatic approach honed over twenty years in film and the systemic tools I’ve developed in Wiesloch.
My clients are executives, HR and L&D managers in companies that are undergoing change and don't want to lose anyone in the process.
Systemic consulting meets film dramaturgy. Not as a gimmick. As an attitude.

Clear. Bookable. Effective.
My signature workshops are designed for moments when something is at stake:
a new strategy, a team coming together, a leader who has reached a crossroads.

A script is not a movie
Strategy Onboarding
The strategy workshop is over. The goals have been set.
And now?
This workshop bridges the gap between decision and action.
Teams don't work on the strategy; they work on their own relationship to it. This includes space for concerns, dissent, and the opportunity to find a genuine, personal "yes ."
For: Leadership teams and teams following strategy or change processes
Duration: 4-8 hours | online or on-site
Result: Genuine commitment.
The new ensemble
When leadership and team clarify their interaction.
Even a beginning has a story. Before we write a new chapter, we need a shared understanding of where we're starting from.
This workshop achieves exactly that:
Identify experiences with leadership, specify expectations, and agree on ground rules.
For: Teams with a new leader or teams that want to renegotiate their collaboration.
Duration: 3-6 hours | online or on-site
Result: Clearly stated expectations. Common ground rules.
Our team, our film
How do we work together?
Teams are like film crews: each person has a role, a perspective, their own view of the shared project. This workshop uses film dramaturgy as a mirror—for roles, dynamics, and what truly holds the team together.
No theoretical lecture. No standard team building.
Rather, it is a process that creates images that last.
For: Teams seeking clarity on roles, collaboration, and shared goals
Duration: 3-6 hours | online or on-site
The result: A shared vision. And a language to express it.
How I work
I am a process designer, not a solution provider.
I don’t offer a standard package. I bring questions, methods and a perspective that can sometimes be uncomfortable.
I work on the surface and beneath it.
Strategies rarely fail because of poor planning. They fail because the emotional context hasn’t been taken into account. I do both.
I bring images that stick with you.
Dramaturgy, metaphors, visual language — not as decoration, but as tools. Because good images enable conversations that words alone cannot open up.
What do customers say?
"Through regular, inspiring exchanges with Jakob, I was able to develop a clear vision and achieve sustainable success with a structured strategy process."
