Corporate culture is like water: it flows into everything that we do and characterizes our work together. The culture pilots returned invigorated and with fresh motivation from the workshops at the end of the year. They have set numerous things in motion at Bischof+Klein Lengerich and Konzell. In numerous workshops and with various methods, they have spread the concept of the cultural transformation with ten central corporate values amongst their colleagues. They occasionally encountered enthusiasm and received standing ovations. However, they also encountered skepticism and had to undertake a great deal of persuasion.

The process is now to set be continued at the subsidiary companies, too, focusing on the production departments. “Cultural transformation is coming to the machine!” A roadmap is now being developed for this. Carsten Boße, head of sales in the specials market segment, and CSO Erik Edelmann agreed: “A great deal has already changed. The people at Bischof+Klein can feel it.”

CEO Dr. Tobias Lührig used the image of a marathon to describe the efforts being undertaken to implement the cultural transformation at Bischof+Klein. “We are in the middle of the race and pretty exhausted. But there is a huge group of supporters up ahead cheering us on loudly. That gives us a second wind. The executive board believes in you and will continue to support you in the future!”
