Organizations that perform. People who thrive.
Great strategy only delivers when the organization behind it is built to carry it: the right structure, the right people in the right roles, all pulling in the same direction.
For more than 35 years I have designed organizations, built go-to-market engines, and helped international teams grow across borders and cultures. I work alongside leaders to shape how the business is structured, how its people are deployed, and how its markets are won, always with an eye on both the numbers and the human beings who deliver them.
What I help with.
Every engagement is different, but the work tends to live in a few places: how the organization is built, how its people are deployed, and how its markets are won.
Organizational design & transformation
Shaping organizations that fit the strategy, and balancing the mix of skills, from deep technical experts to customer-facing talent, so the structure actually delivers.
Shared services & Centers of Excellence
Designing shared-services models and Centers of Excellence that lift the whole field, standardizing the heavy lifting so front-line teams can spend their time with customers.
Account & opportunity planning
Building rigorous account and opportunity plans for international organizations: a clear vision, a strategy, and an execution plan for the accounts that matter most.
The right people in the right roles
Looking honestly at whether people are in the roles that serve both them and the business, and proposing adjustments that benefit everyone. Sometimes it is simply a development program that helps someone rediscover their passion.
Marketing & sales activities
Building the marketing and sales activities that turn strategy into real pipeline, each with a clear owner, a clear outcome, and an honest way to know whether it worked.
Long-range regional growth
Building long-range growth plans for strategic regions, such as a Middle East go-to-market plan designed to capitalize on the region's massive investment in AI.
Work I have done.
A few engagements that show what it looks like in practice: organizations built, models scaled, new markets opened.
A new presales organization for EMEA
I helped the head of presales for EMEA stand up and implement a brand-new organization, carefully balancing deep technical experts with customer-facing engineers, so the team could serve customers closely without ever losing its technical edge.
A Center of Excellence that scaled worldwide
I designed a presales shared-services center (COE) for EMEA that took on the standard, repeatable work: product information and configurations, RFP responses and proposals, demos and benchmarks, freeing the field to focus on customers. It worked so well that it soon expanded into three centers supporting the presales organization worldwide.
A Middle East growth plan built on AI
I developed a go-to-market plan for the Middle East and a strategy for how to capitalize on the region's massive investment in artificial intelligence, turning a fast-moving, high-potential market into a concrete, actionable plan for growth.
The Change Acceptance Process
Strategy only delivers when it actually sticks. My Change Acceptance Process is a structured way to build mobilized commitment across your business, so a change on paper becomes change that lasts. See the model and the six moves behind it.
What clients say.
We worked with Wolfgang on the design and roll-out of our Pre-Sales Center of Excellence in EMEA. The concept proved so successful that it was duplicated world-wide. His strategies work, and Wolfgang gets stuff done.
We used Wolfgang extensively for account planning on our most important must-win accounts. He gets the very best out of the teams by challenging them in the most positive way, and his follow-through is excellent.
Wolfgang is an exceptional business coach and trusted advisor. His guidance is practical, insightful, and always focused on results. Most importantly, he is someone you can truly rely on, no matter the challenge. Highly recommended and liked!
