What is Business Transformation?
Business transformation is a sustainable adaptation of the business model to changing environmental conditions and new goals and goes beyond individual change projects. The Business Transformation Workshop aims to harmonise all elements of a business model in order to develop new business capabilities step by step. The Business Transformation Workshop ensures that a company reacts holistically to changing macro-economic influencing factors, partnerships, competitors and, above all, to changing customer needs.
Only 47% of managers are confident that they can derive sustainable benefits from their transformation. Many transformation attempts fail. A study by KPMG lists the five most important reasons for this: lack of understanding of the complexity of the business model, inability to innovate, lack of cultural embedding, lack of alignment of digital technologies with the business and, finally, poor implementation.
Our Kickstart Business Transformation Workshop solves precisely those problems that stand in the way of a successful transformation process. Interdisciplinary teams develop a common understanding of strategy, organization and business model as well as external influencing factors – working both analytically and creatively.
They uncover obstacles and challenges caused by functional silos and solve them by developing and implementing new business capabilities in an interdisciplinary manner and thus further developing their business model holistically. The result is a detailed roadmap for practical implementation. Our consultancy accompanies you through the resulting change. We provide the necessary impetus, methodology and expertise, clarify roles and ensure a decisive change process.
A 2-day Kickstart Business Transformation Workshop is a catalyst against stagnation. It can set something in motion in a short space of time that has been stagnating for months.
- The workshop brings you together with other departments, explores the context and creates a shared picture of the company, business model and external influencing factors.
- Together and in a process that is both analytical and creative, you will develop ideas for new, necessary business capabilities and for the next development stage of your business model.
- You design the individual business capabilities in detail and determine the necessary changes, actions and responsibilities and define the desired measurable business outcome.
- Finally, you bring all the pieces together and develop a roadmap for business model development over a period of 3 quarters. Regular reviews and retrospectives ensure that the transformation of your business model continues at a steady pace.
Content of the Impact Business Design Workshop
In this short session, we will familiarize your managers with the format, purpose, learning objectives, requirements and framework, and establish the common ground rules for the upcoming learning journey.
In the first phase of the workshop, you and your team develop a holistic picture of your current business model and your value proposition. You analyze the 4 external forces of influence of the environment on your company and which changes are necessary to maintain your value proposition.
In the second phase of the workshop, you will get creative. Using various methods, we guide you to find, evaluate and develop new and necessary business capabilities in detail. A business capability is defined as something that your company must be able to do (and is not yet able to do) in order to be successful despite changing market conditions.
In the final phase of the workshop, the selected and validated business capabilities are worked out in detail. You specify actions, changes and responsibilities and define the measurable value that this capability should create for your customers and yourself (outcome). Finally, a roadmap for practical implementation is created, which is accompanied by regular reviews and retrospectives.

Make our Business Transformation Workshop to your In-house Event
Would you like to run this as an in-house workshop? Would you like to work on specific challenges in your team, department or company?
We tailor our formats to your needs or the needs of your managers and teams. To start with, we offer you a free co-creation (90 min). Let’s start with an initial meeting
Our Method
Classroom-Workshop: Learning, trying out and reflecting under the guidance of experienced trainers
Social Learning: Work with peers on practical case studies, feedback and reflection
On the Job: Implementation in day-to-day business, supported by our extensive learning library and coaching if required
Adapted to your company: We also tailor this learning journey to your company’s specific requirements
The Impact Business Design Workshop is based on 3 integrated elements: Moderation by experts, self-organized work in groups and on-the-job learning. In 3 phases, our experienced trainers provide helpful insights and skills relating to impact business, which are further developed in self-organized learning groups.
The active implementation of the results in everyday work is crucial in order to not only deepen new knowledge, but also to achieve visible success for your organisation (immanence). To make this possible, we provide members of your innovation team with a wide range of exercises and tools and anchor a co-creative way of working.
In addition, we customise this workshop precisely to your company. In a protected space and under our moderation, participants act like in-house consultants: they establish impact business design expertise.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Business Transformation Workshop is a laboratory. In it, you will work together cross-functionally and examine the future of your business model. From these different perspectives, you will quickly identify new, necessary business capabilities for your company. The workshop thus provides a realizable way to further develop the business model in a targeted manner, but also to provide a framework for new products and services.
The Business Transformation Workshop offers the advantage of quick results and immediate implementation. Instead of management spending many weeks or months working on the new business model, a selected team can achieve a real breakthrough in two days with good planning and communication. Another advantage is that the Business Transformation Workshop can be applied to any topic. We also provide you with your own playbook for this purpose.
The Business Transformation Workshop differs from other further training courses for teams and organisations in that it not only provides further training, but also aims to achieve concrete, implementable results for your company. This format is not a seminar or one of the usual training programmes.
It is the start of a planned and analytical transformation process for your team, department, business unit or organization. Participants are offered new perspectives and concrete tools to actively work on their own business model. This provides you with an actionable roadmap for the future.
We usually run the Business Transformation Workshop in person. The duration of 2 days is compact and very effective. If this is not possible – for example, because some employees are unable to attend due to distance – then we offer it as a hybrid event. Our Digital First approach makes this possible without difficulty.
All people who have a special perspective on the topic should take part in an Impact Business Design Workshop. In other words, individuals from different departments instead of several people from the same department. Meaningful diversity is crucial, including external stakeholders. Completely new ideas are born from this diversity.
It is not crucial, or even a hindrance, to consider the hierarchical status of individuals. In our workshops, we create an atmosphere of dialogue “at eye level” that integrates all diverse perspectives.
Each training or program is developed to meet the specific requirements of your company. This begins with a co-creation, concept phase, iterative improvements and a roll-out. We don’t do anything “off the shelf”, but immerse ourselves deeply in your culture and structure. In this way, our work becomes part of your organizational development.
All of the trainers in our community have their own leadership experience, have all completed in-depth external coaching and/or trainer education and have also taken part in our internal train-the-trainer programs.
