Corporate Culture & Identity
Our Mindset
You can ignore culture, but then you have an elephant in the room.
Corporate identity is crucial to creating a consistent and coherent image externally, as well as having a strong sense of belonging internally.
It influences how customers, employees and the public perceive and interact with the company. An essential component of the company’s identity is its culture, i.e. the values, beliefs and behaviors that prevail within it and shape its external image. Values provide orientation for action and offer a compass of behavior for individual employees in their daily decisions and actions. The strategic management instruments of mission, vision and purpose are oriented towards culture.
With the regular need for structural changes, for example, in the hierarchy or the discussion of having a hybrid or home office, as well as strategic adjustments to the environment or the market, it is essentially the culture of the company that is challenged. It decides whether employees stay or go. It shapes the behavior as well as the way of thinking in the company and connects the people who work within it.
Culture is complex and, unlike structure and strategy, it is not a given that can be easily decided upon — it can be established first and foremost through concrete, true doing. Therefore, it is also culture that has a significant influence on structure and strategy (i.e. through the type of communication, hierarchy, processes, rules, power, roles, customers, etc.). Culture has a decisive impact on effectiveness, efficiency and quality as well as performance and behavior in the company. Changes in culture can only be achieved with conscious effort.

“I had a lot of favorite moments during the art action with handl.e pictures. First the moment of creation, to find and collect ideas and try to include them into a picture. This was really fascinating. But also the implementation work, to do the hard stuff, to hammer tiles and collect stones and bring it into the picture. We laughed so much and had so many nice moments. It was fun.“
