eliminate expensive urgent problems efficiently

The hivetime Accelerator takes your key decision makers and experts through a structured program that enables silo-bridging decisions without endless loops and integrates the interests of different business units.

Our experience shows that you already have most of the expertise needed to drive growth, profitability and resilience, but it needs to be discussed properly, synthesized and leveraged in one systematic process.

We guide your team towards jointly developing creative and pragmatic solutions that are also supported by your organization.

As the initiatives are then translated into an implementation plan, it quickly becomes clear who needs to do what, when, for whom, and most importantly, for what.

How we work

Step 1 - The Problem

Our collaboration begins with the question, "What problem actually needs to be addressed?" We ask the right questions to make sure you have a clearly identified problem with suitable solutions. What is the greatest lever for your organization's next success layer?

Step 2 - The Facts

In the next step, we collect the most important facts around the problem. You will experience a guided and structured data collection results in a factbook that serves as preparation for all participants to share their knowledge, find solutions and implement them.

Step 3 - The Synergies

Here, we focus specifically on synthesizing and connecting the problem-specific expert knowledge from within your business units. In this way, we make visible which information is important for problem solving, and for what reasons, so that everyone involved has the same starting point for finding a solution.

Step 4 - The Solutions

Your key experts and decision-makers go through a complex decision-making and problem-solving process. They develop solutions in several iterations from different perspectives and in changing roles in order to obtain a 360° overview. By discussing issue and solutions from different angles, your people get on board.

What our Customers say

"We brought 50 of our key experts and decision-makers from across the globe together to come up with new business ideas at our Annual Technical Summit.

In just two days, hivetime’s consultants helped our people generate new business initiatives with clear top- and bottom-line contribution. At the end of the session, we had six initiatives including implementation plans – all of which we ended up pursuing. Two even became black-belt initiatives.

In order to make the most of our time, hivetime trained some of our staff in facilitation skills so that they could support the process. During the workshop, we received content impulses to train our creative thinking abilities. This way we were well-prepared, and the workshop was highly efficient.

The results speak for themselves. To top it off, the session was serious fun, and our staff left feeling energized and inspired.”

"Our executive team needed to re-align around shifting priorities, and hivetime proved to be the perfect partner by:

(1) quickly clarifying the business challenges ahead

(2) creating cohesiveness and commitment around the resulting strategic priorities.

What I personally cherished the most was hivetime’s willingness and ability to give us this extra push: Remind us when we were falling back into the established patterns of our comfort zone, highlighting the critical questions during the strategy formulation process, and creating the necessary amount of external accountability that helped us truly execute on our plans.”

"Working with hivetime on our Strategy 'Alfmeier China 2027' was the obvious choice, because strategy work needs a lot of trust, and hivetime had already successfully supported us in navigating through the process of our previous strategy development and implementation.

During the entire process, hivetime created an atmosphere where all team members were motivated to share openly and engage in lively dialogues and discussions.

Tough decisions were made with speed, but after sufficient debate. The result is something that truly came from within our company.

At the end, everyone on the team understood what impact they each have in the development of the company, what their role is, and most importantly – the why behind our decisions – and that is why they work hard to execute on our strategy and make it a reality.”
