This is what my colleagues say

I worked with Patrick on a few occasions and have enjoyed his insatiable appetite to turn messy challenges into clear directions, carefully considering all forces at play, to then disrupt with a curveball​ idea. He is lightning fast to understand, and comfortable to liaise even with the more difficult stakeholders - me, for one.

Patrick has internalized what strategy should be all about: understanding people, businesses and contexts and reducing complexity to the point, where clients and colleagues can make better decisions. Patrick is always a pioneer in applying new ways of working, evaluating and applying new tactics and methodologies to not only achieve better outcomes but also bring people on board and align their thinking. I can warmly recommend Patrick as a consultant, an inspirator, problem-solver​ and trainer for complex strategic challenges that need tangible and sustainable solutions.

The task was to establish a holistic approach regarding the consumer experience across the various department. I developed a KPI framework to measure customer experience and guidelines for any project to follow a customer experience approach. Furthermore, I evaluated interactive customer journey tools to be used by different departments.

Experience Strategy

We started the project analyzing the customer experience. My role as lead strategist was to run the kickoff workshop, design and run a stakeholder mapping workshop, define and ran stakeholder interviews and shadow external sales and installation partners. The first phase ended with an opportunity mapping and ideation workshop, which we designed and I ran as lead facilitator. In the second phase, I lead the service design for the “Zwei-Stufen Vertriebsprozess” towards a fine concept. In the process, we had to develop a thorough business case, define new roles and responsibilities, reshape internal and external processes, design new sales checklists, contracts and call center guidelines, validate everything with the legal department, prepare external training, reshape consumer communication and define requirements for the supporting IT infrastructure.

Design Thinking

We defined the experience strategy shifting the brand towards a customer brand. This included developing a customer journey, personas, mapping opportunities and creating ideas as well as an experience ecosystem. This all came together in our experience strategy. My task was to develop the journey, personas and create a 2-day workshop for the global marketing team from all different departments. In conjunction with the customer journey, I developed the experience ecosystem to map out all relevant channels for the relationship with the customer.

My task was to think about the global brand website as individual packages according to country needs. Each with individual benefits, yet combined, creating great synergies for the countries. I defined approx. 7-10 website packages, ranging from a basic mobile first website to loyalty programs and packages for consumer interaction, promotions, and user insights. Together with the IT colleagues, I defined the features of each package. I developed a TOM (Target Operational Model) for the overall website package.
