Rother Consulting | Focus On Excellence

I am a human core transformation and process expert – I am best in facilitating solutioning and enabling change.

Like A cloud seeder who understands that atmospheric conditions must be perfect for transformation, I understand that sustainable transformation requires precise orchestration of multiple elements:

  • external factors (environment, marketplace),
  • internal dynamics (business, organization, and culture), and
  • the individual level.

All my offers are designed to seed transformation naturally – working with human nature – not against it.

All my work is anchored in a fundamental truth: organizations don’t change—people do. And the core of any transformation – organizational or individual – is human.

Any transformation begins with individual change – in a cloud the smallest unit is a water droplet and many steam droplets form clouds. Each individually responses to a particle (naturally floating dust, pollen or seeded silver-iodide), condensates and many coalesce to a rain drop, snow flake or hail dependent of the conditions.

In an organization the smallest unit is a human being. Many form an organization – humane in its core. Like a water molecule the human core of each individual – whether leader or frontline – responds to transformation catalysts. Personal change ripples through the entire system and create collective transformation:

  • Change begins with visionary impact leaders and transformation catalysts.
  • Transformation requires both personal acceptance and active embrace of change – no matter if you are a leader in transformation or a leader of a transformation.
  • When energy of every individual coalesces, transformation happens on all levels.
  • The system transforms when its people transform.

“People don’t resist change; they resist being changed.”
– Peter Senge

SEEDING HUMAN TRANSFORMATION – The Approach

The secret sauce to successful transformative change is taking a human-centered perspective. 

The SEEDing – Human Transformation approach guarantees exactly that and it acknowledges that the relational and the systemic level are interconnected and human in nature.

This isn’t just idealistic, but proven to be nearly three times more likely to succeed and that way the approach creates perfect conditions for lasting change.

In its four phases it blends proven methods and science-based insights about human nature and response to change to enable powerful transformation at the human core by igniting an irreversable “human morphosis”.

SEE: Map your transformation landscape, understand your unique ecosystem (internal and external conditions for change), uncover patterns and dynamics, identify transformation opportunities and chart the path to desired outcomes.

EXPLORE: Analyze change options, create perfect conditions, build leadership capability, establish transformation infrastructure, secure resources and commitment, design precise intervention strategies.

EMBARK: Embark and navigate the journey, implement with precision, adapt to real-time conditions, iteratively course-correct with confidence, foster continuous learning.

DRIVE: Sustain impact, reinforce positive changes, safeguard progress, build lasting resilience, embed transformation DNA.

SEEDing – Human Transformation integrates perspectives on strategy, operations, behaviors, relationships and systems. The approach is centered on inclusion, collaboration and iterative strategies for lasting change.

 I help you orchestrate all four phases for maximum impact.

SERVICE SUITES

My three service suites are designed to naturally seed transformation, working with human nature. Each offering uses the SEEDing- Human Transformation approach and is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that excellence becomes a sustainable reality.

Transformation and Change Excellence

Whether your change effort is driven by external forces or internal initiatives, I support you in developing strategies, structures and capabilities needed to execute a profound, transformative change, a transition or incremental change effectively. My approach ensures sustainability, minimizes disruption and maximizes benefits. Because larger-scale change needs to consider how the smallest unit responses.

Leadership Excellence
 

No matter what type of change - it all starts with a leader as change evangelist, who embraces the need for change, has a vision, helps others to accept it and drive it forward.
Leadership is action, not a position.
I empower leaders in and of transformations to master change, develop new strategies to create a thriving future and scale excellence, for themselves and their teams.
