Agile leadership culture enables business change

Innovative and turnkey construction concepts for customised commercial and industrial real estate have been the core competence of Hoff und Partner for over 50 years. In the three-step process of developing, planning and building, the company is a general contractor for its customers, delivering effective results at all levels. Three operative companies under one roof form the pillars of HOFF: planning, building or developing customised real estate.

Managing Director Ingo Hoff wants to continuously develop Industriebau HOFF und Partner GmbH and position it for the future. In particular, the framework conditions for cooperation are to be designed in such a way that overriding issues of corporate development are increasingly shaped by the closest management circle on their own responsibility. His clear commitment to flat hierarchies, also and especially in the management of his company, tipped the scales in favour of an agile approach as conveyed by the noventum change consultants.

In order to prepare the management of the group of companies for future challenges and changes, Managing Director Ingo Hoff initiated a workshop with the transformation heroes from noventum consulting to further develop the leadership culture.

Three phases to a successful transformation

The noventum concept "Hercules Transformation Project" is based on tried and tested tools from the agile world and combines organisational development with agile change management. Structured in three phases, it conveys the technical background of agile working on the one hand and is concretely project-oriented and delivers results on the other.

"It’s good that we did this. The Agile routines have proven themselves for us within a few months and we are continuing this independently in exactly the same way. I particularly like the focus on the most important business development topics in combination with clearly named delivery items at the end of the sprint as a basis for measuring steady progress."
