Marco Niebling Lecture topics:

• Agile management in medium-sized businesses – revolution in Swabian! Practical experience from 10 years of self-organization
• Self-organization as a form of work to secure the future: why hierarchies endanger our future!

Reflective teams are able to detect market opportunities independently and to implement them proactively and on their own responsibility in the interest of the company. Within the framework set by the company, Marco Niebling supports this process as a coach and facilitator. In his impulse lecture he makes clear why rethinking is the only way to sustainable success and describes this with practical examples. How does self-organization work? Why should one decide to introduce agile management? How does a new corporate culture emerge in the wake of agile transformation, in which customer orientation, appreciation, communication, and common goals play an important role? What can happen when you specifically promote the strengths of the employees and use them for the team, the department or the company?

Coach & facilitator for agile project management & self-organization of teams

“I help companies to find sustainable forms of collaboration. I achieve this by working with business leaders, executives and teams to develop the framework for self-organized work. By going on a journey with teams to develop their potential, and in doing so, uncovering the potential that lies within each individual and making it usable for the company. I am committed to building trust and resilient relationships in the workplace that will help us solve tomorrow’s challenges. I do this by sharing experiences and encouraging people to share their own. By making new forms of cooperation tangible, by coaching executives and employees individually on their way. I help managing directors and executives to detach themselves from operational business in order to work on the company’s direction and the framework conditions for cooperation. In my impulse lectures I report on these experiences and encourage people to try them out for themselves.

I have been shaped by my training as an industrial mechanic, industrial clerk, industrial engineer and systemic business coach, my professional experience in medium-sized businesses, my association experience and my view of humanity, which my Christian faith teaches me. The systemic approach, “people are not but they behave”, helps me to keep the necessary distance and to help my clients to find good solutions for themselves.”
