Change needs leadership

What is often lacking is a strategic approach to HR and the right people to manage change in a consistent way. We find them.

 

Let’s go

Transformation and cultural change

We understand the interrelationships, structures and developments of the ever-changing digital economy before they become visible on the market. Because we were involved in the development of the digital economy in Germany at an early stage, we have the experience and the connections. We know: Whether you are an a medium-sized company or a large corporation, delaying the opportunities of digitalisation puts the future of your organisation at risk. But change also requires a cultural adjustment.

 

Everyone must be able to go digital

The impetus for change often comes from company management, advisory boards or the top echelons of middle management. However, these leaders often fail to move their organisation and employees in a sustainable way. Digital change must be effective throughout the entire value chain, it must be conceived in a value-creating way and implemented in a positive way that shapes the culture for everyone. This is a learning process.

New leadership skills

This requires having the right leaders with core digital values in key positions. We call this “core digital”: people who not only have specialist expertise, but who are naturally better able to deal with the complexity and constant speed of digitalisation. And of course, the leadership team must work as a whole. This is also one of our priorities.

 

Personality, knowledge, experience

Managers with strong digital values are characterised by a specific personality structure and have specific knowledge and relevant digital experience. Their work is guided by openness, curiosity and a drive to move forward, they prioritise collaboration over sovereign knowledge and see change as an opportunity to better serve the customer. They have an understanding of how technology-driven change will affect their area of responsibility. Great digital leaders are a rare breed. But we find them. Every day.

Dr. Salima Douven
Global Head Digital Strategy & eBusiness Adhesives
Henkel AG & Co. KGaA

We needed the perfect candidate for the targeted, sustainable development of our digital and e-commerce division.

He not only had to have a high level of digital expertise and help us shape the digital transformation, but also fit in with us personally. Cribb was recommended to us as the right partner, and it was. With integrity, authenticity and a commitment to high quality, Cribb filled the position perfectly.

Thomas Egenter
Vice President Human Resources
Hansgrohe SE

We felt we were in good hands with cribbX right from the start, especially when it came to the rather specialised topic of “digital”.

Our contact person at cribbX was always friendly and competent and we were informed promptly and in detail about the respective steps of the personnel search. We are still very satisfied with the result of the search and the employee we hired, and the employee is also very satisfied with us as an employer. We could not have wished for better. Thank you very much!
