Together we shape the world
we all want to live in

humanistic transformations is founded by experienced consultants for the common good, auditors, strategy experts, organizational developers and specialists.

Through our holistic, value-oriented approach, which combines tools with attitude, we are the reliable partner for the requirements of your sustainable corporate change.

Our core values are the values of the Economy for the Common Good

  • Human dignity

  • Solidarity and justice

  • Ecological sustainability

  • Transparency and participation

We see ourselves as experienced, structured and structuring partners.

We disentangle complexity, analyze the current state and show room for maneuver on all topics of sustainability and the associated individual organizational development. In doing so, we equally act as persons: empathic, activating and orienting.

We see ourselves as a learning organization, daring to do new things, pushing boundaries, triggering aha-effects and opening doors that have not been seen before. In our actions, we convey and experience joy and meaning.
