Reflection and Networking
After the training, we complete the day with a 10-minute walk to a stylish restaurant. In a separate room and with some delicious food, we have the opportunity to review what we have learned, clarify open questions and connect with new people in a private atmosphere - a perfect way to end the day.

SASCHA ADAM
Sascha takes on the role of facilitator in this training and provides the contextual and organizational framework “from the sidelines”. His aim is for all participants to understand and internalize the content and to go and leave at the end of the training with at least one insight that will change their lives in this aspect from now on.
His specialty and passion is to accompany development processes - be it people, teams, products or companies. As an independent consultant, Sascha supports entrepreneurs and managers in setting up and developing business fields - especially when it comes to creating innovative solutions, charting new paths and integrating different perspectives.
With over 25 years of experience in various positions in 21 companies and 8 industries, Sascha has been living digitalization since his thesis on “Intranet introduction in large companies” in 1998 and was instinctively always in the industries that were transformed next - even if you never used to call it that.
Sascha has been self-employed since 2015 and has supported executives and teams in various projects to realize their missions and strategies. His clients include companies of various sizes: VAILLANT, DATAPORT, ENGEL & VÖLKERS, DODENHOF, WESER-KURIER, FIELMANN (selection).
His particular expertise is the intersection between business and organizational development as well as digitalization and innovation.
With the newly created “impulse-training” format, we are addressing the special needs of a group of managers and entrepreneurs who are becoming increasingly critical to the success of organizations.
These people are characterized by the fact that they integrate various aspects, even from adjacent or unfamiliar areas, into decisions and assessments out of their own conviction. They usually act in an integrative rather than confrontational manner and pursue “the big picture” as their goal.
They also find it easier to adapt to and support change, as they have internalized development processes in their world view as part of the complex and sometimes contradictory contexts of our world.
This group of managers and entrepreneurs is becoming increasingly critical to success in many positions in companies due to the exponential development of new technologies and the rapidly increasing effects of climate change. As a result the upheavals will affect societies and economies even more drastically and fast.
People with these characteristics will be of significant importance at key positions in organizations, as they tend to be more resilient, holistic and integrative in such phases.
This group needs formats with a mixture of knowledge, impulses, exchange and reflection that stimulates their own development, beyond knowledge-transferring trainings.
Instead of multi-day formats that are often difficult to realize in terms of time in fully packed days, we have designed the compact “impulse trainings” in which independent experts provide their knowledge on a specific development topic and train the participants in specific designed exercises.

A-Volution is a horizontal network of experts founded by Sascha Adam that covers the following company's key areas of activity:
- New business models and technologies
- Sustainable business and operations
- Effective leadership and collaboration
Its mission is to shape together with companies the path into the new age, which is caused by exponential technological developments and the increasingly serious effects of climate change.
The gradually growing range of services includes seminars, trainings, sparring sessions and process facilitation in the above-mentioned fields of action.
The aim is to support leaders, managers and entrepreneurs in organizations in their personal development, competencies and also in change processes and implementation projects.
Our aim is to go beyond the mere transfer of knowledge to bring about real change. Only then will these measures have a lasting impact and justify the budget.
The same applies to support with the strategy, conception, management and implementation of more complex projects - effective and sustainable results can only be achieved by integrating with the experts in the client's organization, pragmatical hands-on approach and with the goal in mind at all times.
In contrast to “classic” consulting or agency models, A-Volution is not under “pressure” to utilize existing consultants or deploy them in areas outside their area of expertise. And unlike recruitment agencies, A-Volution not only provides the experts, but also leads these experts in a focused manner within the mandates until the agreed goal is achieved.
Like a flexibly scalable cloud service that provides and coordinates the experienced experts required on a selective basis and makes them available as a team to solve challenges and bridge capacity and expertise bottlenecks.
