Executive Advisory and Leadership

Dr. Bernd Kappesser
Dr. Bernd Kappesser

Making leadership effective - personal, strategic and responsible

Effective leadership doesn’t happen by chance. It develops where leaders clearly understand their role, consciously take responsibility and make decisions under real-world conditions.

Executive management, boards, advisory boards and leadership teams today face a much higher density of decisions than just a few years ago. Transformation, technological developments - such as the use of artificial intelligence - and rising regulatory requirements are permanently reshaping leadership work, responsibilities and organizations.

Effective leadership is not created through standardized programs or isolated trainings. It needs space for reflection, for making sense of complex situations and for consciously developing leadership - closely aligned with the reality of the organization.

Our advisory work combines hands-on entrepreneurial experience from executive management, board roles and operational responsibility with strategic thinking and clear reflection. We also bring solid expertise in digital transformation, AI governance and regulatory topics - always focused on responsibility, clarity in decision-making and practical feasibility. We are not driven by methods, but by concrete questions, decision logic and areas of responsibility.

The goal of our work is to help leaders and organizations provide orientation, make sustainable decisions and keep leadership effective over the long term - even under demanding conditions.

Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching – role clarity and personal effectiveness for executive management and board members

Executive Coaching is individual support for top-management leaders who must make decisions under high responsibility and provide orientation.

The focus is on clarifying your leadership role, your decision-making scope, and your personal effectiveness within the company. We work with you on concrete questions from your day-to-day leadership - confidentially, in a structured way and close to practice.

Typical triggers:

  • Taking on new leadership responsibility
  • Leading in transformation or growth phases
  • High decision density and complex role demands - including dealing with new technological conditions such as the use of AI

Focus: I work on myself.

Arrange a confidential initial conversation.

Executive Sparring for strategic decision makers

Executive Sparring is for members of executive management, boards and advisory boards who want to reflect on strategic decisions and make them on a solid basis.

As sparring partners, we bring our own experience from executive management, board roles, and operational responsibility. In dialogue, we test options, challenge assumptions and make consequences visible - without operational directives and without an internal agenda.

Typical areas of application:

  • Strategic choices and course-setting

  • Complex decision and conflict situations

  • Transformation and decisions in the context of AI usage and regulation

Focus: I clarify my decisions.

Talk to us about your current decision situation.

Leadership Development for future-ready leadership

Leadership Development is aimed at the long-term development of leadership - at the individual level, in leadership teams and within the organizational context.

Effective leadership is not built through single trainings, but through a structured development process. We support organizations in strengthening leadership understanding, responsibility and collaboration sustainably - especially during phases of growth and change.

Key areas:

  • Developing leadership personalities with growing or changing responsibility
  • Leadership in transformation, growth and transition phases
  • Succession and handover situations at leadership and company level
  • Aligning leadership with new conditions such as digitization, AI usage and regulation

Focus: I develop leadership in the organization.

Let’s talk about your development needs.

 

Your benefits in short:

  • Executive Coaching: work on role and personal effectiveness
  • Executive Sparring: clarifying complex decisions
  • Leadership Development: developing future-ready leadership within the company
