During a period of approximately 40 years, we are working five days a week for eight hours. I want to help you and your company to use this significant part of life time sustainably, effectively and to the benefit of all stakeholders.
"In Gang" means "get going" or "keep going" in German. In Gang Beratung GmbH is a small consulting enterprise based in Zurich (Switzerland) owned by Katrin Lüthi. I have many years of experience in the software sector as well as a sound training as an organizational consultant and coach. My consulting can take place remotely or on-site, in German or in English, depending on your situation and challenge.
Who are my customers?
Due to my background as a software developer and IT leader, I have a deep understanding of the challenges of IT and software companies. I know the subject matter down to the details of what it means when the build fails, or when there is a merge problem in the midst of fixing the API. I've also practically experienced working with agile frameworks for a long time - in many possible flavours. I work with team leads or department heads, but also with executive teams of smaller companies or startups. Preventive team development workshops are even interesting for HR departments or Learning & Development specialists who want to make improvements company-wide.
Why "in Gang"?
Why is this company called "In Gang Beratung"? Its simple - I want teams, organizations, and individuals to get going with useful processes and practices (in Gang bringen) or keep doing them (in Gang halten).
It is my conscious decision not to promise you to "lift your organization to the next level" (e.g. 4.0?), to "push your team beyond their limits" (ouch!) or even to make you "successful" (what does success mean anyway?). All these buzzwords imply that you just have to invest one time to reach a condition which is clearly defined by best practice - and then you are safe forever.
I know from experience that all this sounds very appealing, but is not the truth. We are in the realm of complexity, where there simply are no best practice solutions that fit all teams, all organizations and all individuals. Groups of people and organizations are changing all the time and subject to lots of influences. This means you have to adapt continuously - even if this sounds tiresome, expensive and not at all like an easy solution.
That's why my company name is simple, pragmatic and buzzword-free. Let's get going and keep the good things going!
