Our Services and Clients
We work with founders and executives who care for their employees and who want to improve the overall health and effectiveness of their organization. We help organizations to get more agile, tweak core structures, and allow their company culture to change for the better.
In the digital space we work with digital leaders and peers of the CDO to effectively drive digital initiatives and ensure the organization remains competitive in the digital age by creating tangible strategies and being involved in high-impact initiatives.
Whilst having a joint experience of 20+ years in the life science industry we continue to build our customer footprint in other industry areas and look to support more organizations with a meaningful cause.
We identify your problem and guide you to the solution - hands-on and hands-off as needed
For a long time we were hesitant to use the word “Consulting” or even “Coaching” in our context. All our employees and partners have a background in the classical management consulting world. We want to redefine these words and use them to give our expertise but most importantly enable high potentials and team members in their creativity and execution.

Organizational Development & Future Leadership
Many people around me are waiting their lives away, only living for the weekends to get a break from their exhausting jobs. And some others, that are investing their all into a career, get at one point mentally ill and burned-out. I refuse to accept these as being the only possibilities.
That is why with tostep, we strive to create a more human-centric, empathic and pragmatic working mode to enable people to focus on things that matter and use resources in a meaningful way.
We work with founders and executives that care for their employees and who want to improve the overall health and effectiveness of their organization. We help organizations to get more agile, tweak core structures, and allow their company culture to change for the better.
With us as a partner, you do not blindly follow the hype, but ensure that you adapt self-managing practices and digital tools where they make sense, while protecting the structures that made you successful. Our approach is systemic and influenced by Niklas Luhmann’s Systems Theory.

Digital Strategy Development & Advisory
Very often people think of a digital transformation as a finite one-time big-bang. Whilst the initial magnitude can be done in a transformational program, we found out that it is more important to equip the organization with the mindset, skills and framework to cope with in the digital age and adapt their business and operating models to be digital and state-of-the-art.
To effectively drive digital initiatives and ensure the organization remains competitive in the digital age, a CDO needs to consider several key strategic areas.
These services collectively empower the Chief Digital Officer and his peers to drive continous digital transformation & adaption more effectively by providing strategic guidance, practical implementation support, and expertise in areas critical to the success of digital initiatives.

What our customers say about us
There are plenty of good project managers out there. There are plenty of people who can communicate clearly and engagingly. There are plenty of people who can motivate people and bring about change. There are plenty of people who can drive through obstacles to get things done. It’s very rare to find someone who can do all these things at the same time, and always in a cheerful and upbeat manner.
