Christian Hinrichsen

Strategy and Organizational Consulting

Christian is an architect for organization and governance:
He uses his 20 years of experience as founder, project lead, turnaround manager, strategy consultant and systemic coach to design and build indivual solutions for companies of all sizes. From strategy development and an effective organizational model to a pragmatic steering approach and the coaching of leaders and their teams through the change phase.

Projects in telecommunication, automotive, chemicals and machinery/plant engineering have made Christian a firm believer in mixed and cross-functional client-consultant-teams. With their diverse view on need for change as well as a broad complementary set of skills, such teams always create more effective and lasting solutions than just specialized experts. Working with cross-functional complementary teams is what Christian enjoys most in consulting.

Effective organizations and productive cultural environments are neither created on a virtual drawing board nor implemented by management decisions, but grow in day-to-day operations and evolve through reflection. That is why working and learning in iterations, continuous improvement and a matching leadership style are essential cornerstones for Christian in developing an organization – in client projects as well as in building DH&N.

In his spare time Christian makes furniture and workbenches from wood and steel in his own workshop. He also loves photography, especially while travelling.
