My philosophy.
sustainable
I've done my job well when I'm no longer needed. Not entrepreneurial, you say? For me, the only authentic way to work. My goal is to empower teams so they can work independently with Workday, solve challenges, and make informed decisions. I openly share my knowledge, build structures, and support the development of skills – both technical and organizational.
For me, working sustainably means more than just imparting knowledge: It's about developing solutions that remain viable even after the deployment has ended – practical, adaptable, and well-thought-out. Not just any solution, but the right one for the specific context.
human
Change can only succeed if people are involved. That is why it is crucial for me to build relationships with the teams and stakeholders right from the start. Even if my involvement is limited in time - for me, genuine arrival, listening and understanding are part of every start.
I find the balance between closeness and clarity: as part of the team, I get involved with a smile, with ease - and at the same time with the openness to address unpleasant issues. I question, challenge and point out where there is a problem.​
A consultant - but not too much of a consultant. And that's often where the difference lies.
holistic
There's often a need to bridge the gap between vision and operational reality – and that's where I come in. Even though my mission is clearly defined, I always think outside the box. Because real change doesn't happen in silo thinking, but rather through the interaction of all levels.
​
I work system-independently and with a holistic view of organizations, processes, and relationships. A tool like Workday is never an end in itself, but rather a means to an end: It should support structures, not replace them. Therefore, I challenge existing processes and support the establishment of solutions that work in everyday life – regardless of the system.
Why Roots Consulting?
Roots Consulting stands for what is crucial for sustainable development – a solid foundation. I am convinced that stable roots are needed, both in professional and personal contexts, to face the challenges of our time with clarity, resilience, and direction.
The tree as a metaphor: To grow, you first need roots. They represent connection – to people, to contexts, to nature. I often work internationally, from all over Europe – and yet I've experienced how important it is to have roots somewhere. Sometimes very real, sometimes symbolic.
