Establishment of independent activity as a process and management consultant
Period: January 1999 – today
Role: Freelance consultant for management systems & business development
Right at the start of my self-employment, I was able to successfully support a wide range of companies from a variety of industries in professionalizing their processes and management systems. My approach was to transfer proven methods from quality management to new fields of application and thus quickly create measurable added value for my customers.
Focus areas and selected project successes:
- Implementation of management systems: I designed and documented QM systems from scratch, e.g., for the prefabricated house manufacturer thomas haus GmbH and the fitness franchise system OUTFIT GmbH. A particular focus was on practical implementation through quality planning, test plans, and the introduction of quality gates directly in production.
- Training & employee development: I conducted targeted training and coaching to empower management and employees. This included management training at Görlitz AG and motivation and communication training at Dick Design GmbH.
- Introduction of strategic tools: Going beyond classic QM, I introduced strategic management tools such as training on the balanced scorecard at Gilles GmbH.
- Specialized compliance issues: I demonstrated my flexibility by successfully implementing industry-specific requirements, including the creation of an HACCP system for the Haus Wiedperle retirement home and the creation of a hazardous materials concept for VBH Fachhandel.
- Support with IT implementation: At thomas haus GmbH, I actively supported the definition and implementation of SAP modules for QM, purchasing, and project management.
Customers during this start-up phase included:
- thomas haus GmbH (prefabricated house construction)
- Görlitz AG (electronics & measurement technology)
- Gilles GmbH (pest control)
- Haus Wiedperle (retirement home)
- Dick Design GmbH (advertising agency)
- Vereinigter Beschlaghandel VBH (specialist retailer)
- OUTFIT GmbH (fitness center)
- abc expand (IT Trainingscenter)
- Engineers Consulting (SW development and Engineering Service)
