Over the last 10 years, I've been working with teams from international startups, midsize companies, and corporates on their route to new processes, services, and products. Here's what I learned:
When I started I kept thinking that the core problem is that teams do not have creative ideas or the fancy tools to deal with innovation. I even started a consulting network just to solve exactly for that problem. I could not have been more wrong!
While working with 200+ teams, I got to know the smartest and most amazing people - from companies like Bayer, Viessmann, Tesla, Siemens, and so many more. I've also met the hardest working people in startups and government organizations, all eager to make this country a better place.
So what did I mainly see? Teams get stuck.
You know what stops them? Not the missing ideas; not innovation process or the unfinished pitch decks. What does stop them, is being too comfortable with the status quo. Or to be even more precise: Anticipated losses from the possible change ahead.
These expected, often invalidated losses can occur on three levels: The individual level, the process level, and the cultural level.

One more thing: I can't solve this alone. I need your help to bring honest conversations about loss - in teams as well as in our society. So please help me spread the word. And thanks to Elisabeth Heid & Judit Teichert for also raising awareness on this topic!
