Intrapreneurship – Be the Change
In large corporations, ideas often encounter political, hierarchical, and structural barriers. While an entrepreneurial spirit is demanded, living and implementing it requires experience and, above all, perseverance. With over 10 years of experience in global corporations, I encourage companies to embark on the path of intrapreneurship and guide them along the way. Transformation, especially in sales, requires a rethink in today's world. Change is happening; accept it or become the change yourself.
This presentation focuses on change and the importance of creating conditions for intrapreneurship within your own company. It addresses the difference between motivation and drive and how you can set the stage for change.

Risks and Opportunities of a Digital World
From Einstein comes the well-known quote: 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.' If we aim for transformation and progress in the company, then we cannot avoid certain risks. But what happens when we constantly avoid risks? We lose the ability to judge risks and create a corporate culture that is not geared towards change. As long as day-to-day operations are functioning, this is unproblematic. However, once the company needs to rethink or reposition itself, this becomes a real risk, especially given the changes in the market due to the influence of digitalization.
This presentation addresses the balance between risk and opportunities in a digital world, as well as the ability to recognize, assess, reduce, and control real risks and their consequences within the company.

Pilot & MVP
What defines a pilot project and what doesn't? How do I enable my company to undergo transformation? Often, large and resource-intensive transformation projects are initiated, which can almost paralyze a company. This is often the reason for the delay of urgently needed transformations, as they can come with unpopular consequences such as increasing requirements during implementation, missing deadlines, blocked resources, and exhausted budgets. However, transformation can also be approached differently! Pilot projects can be the solution for a gradual, secure, and continuous transformation of companies.
In this presentation, you will gain insights into an efficient approach to transformation through pilot projects. You will learn what really matters in the famous 'Minimum Viable Product' and why this is not just about IT and digitalization. Additionally, you will discover how pilot projects and the possibility of saying 'no' can increase innovation in your company.

Martin supported us to define both vision and strategy for our customer portal and built up a new digital sales channel for us globally. Aside from running his main project, he constantly challenges status quo, develops new ideas and drives forward digital innovation that contributes to the overall strategy.
During the project he always acts and works as a colleague instead of being just an external partner, which benefits the way of working and the results tremendously.
Martin is strong in determining a long-term vision and to turn it into tactics and realistic projects. With his experience in organizing and executing large scale projects he ensures that an organization actually delivers.
With Martin's help, we were able to successfully launch Commodity in the German market. His marketing expertise and robust network meant that we could seamlessly localize our efforts: from finding us a local Advertising agency, to getting our website and creatives full translated, and even securing a sampling partner. Thank you, Martin
Working with Martin has always been a pleasure. Both as my client and consulting partner the experience is the same, you work together with Martin; a true partnership. I have always very much enjoyed and valued the sparring opportunities with Martin and how our perspectives, although not the same, always adjoin very well. Like us, Martin is to the point and focused on the end result. His pragmatism combines well with ours and we have been able to realise some great projects together. I look forward to our next combined successes.
Als Startup ist es extrem wichtig fokussiert zu bleiben, an der richtigen Strategie zu arbeiten und mit minimalen Aufwänden maximale Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Martin trägt diese Maxime in seiner DNA und liefert durch seine schnelle Auffassungsgabe und strategisches Denkvermögen konkrete erfolgsorientierte Lösungsansätze.
Wir arbeiten schon seit Jahren eng mit Martin zusammen und im Laufe dieser Zeit wurden wir immer wieder von seinen Ideen, Visionen und Konzepten beeindruckt und begeistert. In jeder Phase der Zusammenarbeit wird nicht nur die Planung, sondern auch die Umsetzung koordiniert, gesteuert und kontrolliert. Die Art, wie Martin arbeitet, ist immer angenehm und professionell. Aus diesem Grund können wir ihn nur wärmstens empfehlen! Seine Kompetenz, sein Engagement und seine Kreativität machen ihn zu einem wertvollen Partner für jedes Projekt.
