What does organizational and strategic development mean for people who want to move their company forward? And how can a strategy be implemented in concrete terms? How do you create harmony between people and projects and how do you motivate employees to increase efficiency and productivity in your organization?

Especially in times of crisis, there is a need for targeted action. This applies both in times of major crises, but also to existing and seemingly minor obstacles in your organization. In both cases, however, you should definitely take action. This is precisely where reflection and exchange can generate new motivation. Particularly in uncertain situations, it is important to recognize opportunities and then make consistent use of them. We would like to work with you to identify these opportunities, exploit your potential and strengthen your organization.

We focus on the human factor. Your corporate culture, your values and your mission statement have a significant influence on your organizational processes. It is essential for us to define the meaning and purpose of your organization. Creating meaning in order to drive development. Keeping the purpose in mind so that added value can be generated. It is also important to be clear about your own role. In the organizational development process, the roles of the entrepreneur, employees and our consultants are particularly important.

Experience refers to the knowledge and behavior acquired through perception and learning or, in the sense of “life experience”, the totality of all experiences that a person has ever had, including their processing. Consequently, experiences can always set a learning process in motion. Experiences can make the unknown visible. Experiences can trigger a motivation to act. Experiences can trigger so much...

Interaction with people is experience in one of its most important forms. Here we are constantly learning from each other. Current topics, challenges, and issues are regularly discussed in the so-called experience exchange groups (ERFA). We focus on active and open communication, genuine networking, and know-how transfer. Over the long period of ERFA work, genuine friendships have developed that imply a high degree of trust.

At KATAG Consulting, we prepare, moderate, and participate in ERFA conferences. Topics are discussed and debated in a very intimate and closed circle. Meetings are often held in the fashion houses of our partners. Also, city tours with appropriately prepared store checks are part of the portfolio of our ERFA group activities.

The KATAG Academy is a networking platform for industry, trade, and service providers. Every company can present itself on this platform and use the KATAG network for communication.

The Academy offers you and your employees a variety of opportunities to develop the human resources of your organization in a targeted manner and to use the creative potential of your employees. Our content is preferably tailored to the textile industry. Therefore, merchandise, sales and purchasing topics are just as important as, for example, management and social media training. Our speakers are available to you for this purpose with specialist seminars and customized in-house training courses. We are happy to arrange training and webinars on all retail topics on request.

All year round, the KATAG Academy offers the KER training module (expert: Jörg Timphus) in the form of online and classroom training. The focus here is on explaining key figures such as markdown and markup calculation, inventory turnover rate, gross profit, inventory ratios, etc. and demonstrating their interactions using examples. The training courses are aimed at all employees in your company who need to be familiar with the KER key figures - in supplier meetings, in purchasing or as an area manager. Booking dates can be arranged customized.
Booking dates can be arranged customized.

KATAG Consulting also organizes various online or face-to-face events that deal with individual topics. The online or face-to-face conferences take place independently of established ERFA groups and are aimed at all KATAG partners from industry, trade, and services as well as other interested parties outside our network. The conferences are organized differently depending on the topic. For example, various experts (management consultants on “retail gastronomy”, EHI Retail Institute, retailers) were invited to discuss the topic of “Gastronomy in specialist textile retail”, enabling a wide-ranging exchange on the strategic importance and challenges of implementing gastronomy as well as on day-to-day business.
