Our understanding of change management
Follow the magic triangle•
Our concept requires the existence of a clear corporate strategy and, possibly a vision. A vision is nothing more than an emotional representation of the end goal that should be communicated and shared by many employees. Ultimately, corporate strategy, culture and structure are closely linked.

Quick wins significantly support organizational transformation by making project success credible in the eyes of employees. John P. Kotter, an American professor renowned worldwide for his work in leadership management, lists these six benefits of Quick Wins:

- They provide feedback on the feasibility of change
- Cynics and naysayers are weakened
