Leanovate GmbH

With a somewhat heavy heart I have to announce that, after 12 years, the current iteration of Leanovate is coming to an end and we are closing the company. It was a tough decision and there is not just one but a bunch of reasons behind it. Times have changed massively over the last couple of years and - as for many other companies - the economic situation has been a constant challenge since the beginning of Covid already and instead of becoming better it became even worse after the pandemic.  Adapting to these changes while maintaining the level of excellence and impact the Leanovate has been standing for and still aligning with our values and culture was tough for everyone in the company. As you probably can imagine it was also very demanding emotionally. We wanted to stick to our values and company culture, sustain the existing team and continue to work together. So it has been a pretty rough ride over the last four years with a lot of ups and downs. In the end it became clear that, despite all efforts, we did not succeed. For many reasons, internal ones and external ones. In order to finally have a chance to survive we would have to change so radically in so many areas that it would harshly conflict with our values, our habits and with what Leanovate has been standing for over the last 12 years. It would have been a different company. With still only a small chance to make it. A pretty uncomfortable truth and the question was: Are we willing to go down that route? We were not, the more, as many of us (including myself) became exhausted along the way. It would have been irresponsible to continue like that. Also, in my opinion the whole basic concept of Leanovate and some of it’s most fundamental structures and principles - the secret ingredients that made Leanovate successful and attractive - do not work any more in today’s wold. So finally, after a lot of back and forth, the decision was to close down the company. Very sadly, with tears in the eyes but consequently. Which then was accompanied by some unexpected economic surprises which made it inevitable in the end. So a chapter has come to an end and it was a very interesting one. It was a life-changing experience. I’ve never learned so massively than while being at Leanovate and I will be forever thankful for that. Lenovate has always been a company of strong individuals and we had a lot of incredibly great colleagues over the years. The last team has been fighting to the end despite all difficulties and has been absolutely amazing! So a big thanks to Susanne Walter, Britta Lindemann, Thomas Epping, Beate Klein M.A., MAMA-3, Mario Schuetz, Marko Springfeldt, Thorsten Faltis, Bent Nøsted / Noested, Philipp Gelbin, Anika Hosemann, Connor Todd, Joscha Krutzki and Andre Schauer! Thanks to all the customers have been trusting us - many of them for many years. Thanks to all the people from our network that we have been dealing with over the last 12 years! It was a blast.

"Overcommitment is to the strategy process what overburdening is to the delivery process„ as per Mike Burrows. I had the pleasure of participating in a 3 days Agendashift Academy training with Mike on „Leading with outcomes“ and „Leading in a transforming (adaptive) organisation“. I gained great insights about: # Developing & pursuing strategy in the language of outcomes # Wholehearted organisations, what they look like and their leader’s responsibilities # Outcomes over solutions # Right to left and how to move into actions # Business agility on every level and at scale # Clean language The exchange with the other participants especially during the exercises were an important part of the sessions. It was a fantastic group with a lot of interesting discussions, insights and learnings. A big KUDOS to Markus Hippeli from Leanovate GmbH to host us during these days.
