Initiation Cases
Launching a new venture, transformation, or long-term initiative requires endurance, strategy, and meticulous preparation. Just as a marathon runner follows a structured training plan, I ensure that the initiation phase of your project is built on stakeholder alignment, capability building, and clear roadmap development to sustain long-term success. Many ambitious projects fail not because the idea is flawed, but because they lack the necessary structural foundation, strategic foresight, and execution discipline to maintain momentum. I help businesses build a strong initiation phase that ensures they can scale effectively, adapt to challenges, and sustain competitive growth without burning out resources too soon.
Initiation is preparation for a marathon – it is key to set the pace for continuous success across multiple dimensions:
Establishing a strong foundation for continuous innovation

Initiation
Defined an organization model based on holacracy to allow flexible allocation, reporting, and measurement of resources from two service providers and an internal team. The model covered 4+2 product modules and additional company capabilities such as sales, marketing, and accounting. This approach differed significantly from a classical hierarchical structure, promoting dedicated ownership, transparency, and autonomy for individual teams and circles. However, implementing this model required addressing several challenges, including the complexity of training and cultural shifts, logistical difficulties in resource allocation, and the need for clear guidelines and tools. Integration with existing systems and processes also demanded substantial adjustments. Engaging stakeholders early and addressing their concerns was crucial to overcome cultural resistance. Clear metrics and KPIs were defined to ensure accountability and measure performance. The model was designed with scalability in mind, allowing for easy expansion and adaptation as the organization grows. Effective communication tools and protocols were implemented to facilitate transparent and efficient information sharing, and legal and compliance experts were consulted to ensure the model met all necessary regulations and standards.

- Defined a holacracy-based organizational model.
