How it works

Impact, before it even starts.

A workshop with the Stärkenkompass is a game changer for performance, cohesion and engagement in the team.

1

15 minutes · online

Kickoff

+ anticipation

Everyone knows what is coming and why. It takes no more than that – and no more of their time either.

2

approx. 8 minutes per response · in the app

Feedback phase

+ a change of perspective that will pay off

Everyone gives and receives anonymous feedback on each other's strengths. The corridor talk shifts before the first workshop slide is up.

3

1 day · on site

The workshop day

+ a new self-image for the team

Understand potential, uncover blind spots, go beyond your limits as a team. Vision, mission and actions are agreed.

What it costs

Transparent pricing and methods that last.

The most valuable thing about a team workshop is your time. An interchangeable concept, a lecturing coach, irrelevant content that goes in one ear and out the other – that is what's expensive.

“I feel incredibly energised after this session. The more people get to experience it, the less they'll think I'm mad for feeling like I could move mountains right now.”

“We invest a lot in leadership development. But the Stärken-Exposé closes a gap that training alone never could: it brings the new mindset straight into everyday work with each individual. That was exactly the missing step.”

What stays afterwards

Five answers your team can keep working with.

  • Purpose & focus – the shared bearing of your collaboration
  • Excellence strengths – what you are genuinely made for
  • Leverage strengths – where the biggest gains are hiding
  • Blind spots – what you have but cannot see yourselves
  • Combinations & USP – what makes you unique as a team
Example of a Stärkenkompass evaluation with four competence fields
What lies on the other side

Strengths are not a nice-to-have – they are a real competitive advantage.

Strengths orientation is a trainable leverage strength with a cross-training effect: it pays into resilience, innovation, engagement and employer attractiveness all at once.

8× greater performance gain when building on existing talent (828% instead of 67%). Gallup, speed-reading test
+90% team satisfaction through the deliberate use of strengths. Zenger & Folkman, 22 March 2021, “How To Become Irreplaceable As A Leader” (50,000 leaders worldwide)
+300% innovation performance – strengths orientation triples it. Zenger & Folkman, 2021
Why it works

Everyone else shows you how you see yourselves.
We show you how you come across.

Evolution wired us to notice first what is missing. That is why we don't start with a self-test, but with how others see you – anonymous, aggregated and focused on strengths.

82% of employees regularly work past their own strengths. Gallup Institute, 2022
9 in 10 cannot name their own strengths correctly – they overestimate and underestimate themselves at the same time. Gallup Institute, 2018
up to 95% of training content has no effect. That is precisely why we measure beforehand – and work with what is already there. Transfer research, Stärkenkompass impact model
“Criticism makes you dumb.” Being corrected measurably narrows perception and scope for action. Being affirmed opens both. That is why every one of our days starts with what is already there.

Where your team stands right now

Performance alone is not enough. Neither is satisfaction.

Four states that occur in every team. Only one of them holds – and that is where we want to go with you.

Satisfaction  ↑

Content & stuck

Satisfaction high · performance low

inwardly secure · reflective · harmony-seeking · slow to act

Everyone feels comfortable, but nothing moves. The team stays friendly – and stays put.

Successful & happy

Satisfaction high · performance high

inwardly secure · capable of acting · open to learning · connected

People work where their power lies – and are seen for it. This is where we work towards.

Insecure & passive

Satisfaction low · performance low

self-doubting · withdrawn · disoriented · resigned

Doing the bare minimum. What follows: sick days and the loss of your best people.

Effective & exhausted

Satisfaction low · performance high

performance-driven · functional · dependent on recognition · at risk of burnout

They deliver a lot and get little back. These are exactly the people who leave first.

Performance  →

“A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skills of the others.”

Frequently asked

What decision makers ask us first.

How is this different from a classic team event?

A team event creates a good day. With us the effect begins three weeks earlier – with the peer feedback – and it doesn't stop after the day, because every person keeps their profile and the team keeps its compass. The fun is there all the same: the photos above show it.

How much effort is it really for us?

Around 8 hours per person spread over three weeks – including the workshop day. Nobody has to prepare anything, neither the team nor the manager. Organisation, facilitation and analysis are on us.

What if there are simmering conflicts in the team?

Then the format is particularly effective – but we talk about it beforehand. Peer feedback on strengths lowers defensiveness, because nobody is being judged. In case of acute escalation we will say honestly if something else needs to come first.

Is it anonymous? What does the manager see?

Feedback is anonymous and aggregated. Each person sees their own profile. The manager sees the team picture, not individual responses – and receives feedback just like everyone else.

Does this work for remote or hybrid teams?

The feedback process is digital anyway. We recommend running the workshop on site – the effect carries far better in person. A remote format is available on request.

Can the workshop be run in English?

Yes. The app and the feedback process are available in English, and we have facilitators who run the day in English. Just tell us in your enquiry which language your team works in.

How quickly can we start?

We reply to enquiries within 24 hours on business days. Between confirmation and workshop day there are usually three to four weeks, because the feedback phase needs time.

Ready?

Let's talk for 20 minutes – honestly and without obligation.

In a first call we clarify where your team stands and whether the day fits your situation. If it does, you get a fixed-price quote. If it doesn't, we'll say so – and leave you with input that works even without us.
