Working with WAVZ®
WORK
Work organization & processes
Work is changing - constantly. But many organizations only tweak individual processes and then wonder why nothing really progresses. We take a different approach: We make visible how work is actually organized - whether structures are supporting or blocking, whether goals are clear or hanging in the fog.
With the WAVZ Impact Grid®, we have a grid that recognizes tensions before they become a problem. We look at roles, decision-making paths, collaboration and results logic. No slide acrobatics, but clarity: where does something not fit, where is energy being lost, what needs to be brought together?
Our support does not mean: We write your strategy. But rather: We ask the right questions, provide mirror images and introduce methods such as OKR, Scrum or Design Thinking in such a way that they work. The end result is not a consulting report, but a process that gives teams orientation and delivers results.
WORK at WAVZ® means: understanding work organization, releasing blockages, unleashing impact. For all those who are not satisfied with cosmetics.
SPACE
Rooms & collaboration
Rooms are not a minor matter. They determine whether people get to work or remain at a standstill. Anyone who believes that a new sofa or a hip meeting room is enough to create "new work" is very much mistaken. Spaces only work if they interact with processes and culture.
This is exactly where we come in. We set up coworking spaces long before it was a buzzword. We know what works - and what is exposed as a fig leaf after a few weeks. With the WAVZ Impact Grid®, we make visible how spaces support or hinder collaboration, whether digital or physical.
This can mean clear rules for hybrid working, digital platforms that really connect teams or spatial concepts that make identity tangible. Always in a way that suits the company - not as a copy-paste solution from Google or WeWork.
SPACE at WAVZ® means designing spaces that are more than just a backdrop. Places where collaboration, culture and brand become visible - and where work really flows.
BRAND
Brand & Identity
A brand is not a logo. A brand is the promise of how a company works - externally and internally. And this is exactly where many fail: Glossy campaigns on the outside, chaos or resignation on the inside. The result: nobody takes the brand seriously.
We come from the agency world. Three decades of experience with brands, communication and SMEs - and that's exactly why we know: Brands are only credible if they are lived in everyday life. With the WAVZ Impact Grid®, we show where claim and reality diverge.
This can mean: sharpening positioning, clarifying messages, connecting leadership and culture to the brand. No brand workshops in the ivory tower, but hard work on alignment: what is being said outside, what do people feel inside?
BRAND at WAVZ® means: making identity visible, closing gaps and building a brand that carries - because it is more than just advertising.
PEOPLE
Culture & Mindset
Culture is the invisible thing that determines everything. It is hidden in routines, in unspoken rules, in what happens between the lines. Many companies write values on the poster - "trust", "team spirit", "innovation" - and then realize that no one lives them in everyday life.
This is exactly where we start. With the WAVZ Impact Grid®, we make visible how culture really works: Which patterns carry teams, where conflicts are hidden, where energy is lost. No feel-good phrases, but a clear view of how collaboration works - or doesn't.
We use methods such as OKR, Scrum or Design Thinking pragmatically to break up patterns and introduce new routines. Always in a way that remains realistic - adaptable for SMEs, family businesses and start-ups.
PEOPLE at WAVZ® means: not describing culture, but changing it. So that it is sustainable - for people, for leadership, for the company.
