Mid-2020 – Erfolgsucher shapes its identity
What does Erfolgsucher stand for? What makes the solution unique? What “philosophy” should be conveyed? It’s mid-2020 and the world is paralyzed by the coronavirus pandemic. The founders of Erfolgsucher, Robert Knop and Christian Forstner, are taking advantage of the quiet time and working diligently together online to set the course for the future.
The following fundamental decisions with benefit for the customer are made:
- Quick, simple benefits: The aim is to enable customers to derive effective benefits from Erfolgsucher as quickly and easily as possible.
- Simple language: Erfolgsucher attaches great importance to simple and understandable language in order to facilitate access for all users.
- Consider and simplify complexity: The complexity of the business world is fully considered, but “hidden” as much as possible to provide a focused experience.
- Methods in the background: Erfolgsucher is method-free; any methods always remain in the background in order to focus on the result.
- Playful learning: In addition to traditional learning, playful learning is also encouraged in order to increase motivation and commitment.
- No exams, optional participation: There are no exams, and almost everything is optional and voluntary for participants, creating a stress-free learning environment.
- A single “Success-Thread (5-STEPS-to-Excellence)“: All solutions follow a common thread to ensure consistency and clear direction.
- Automation of routine work: The system takes over as much (pointless) busywork as possible to relieve users and give them more time for essential tasks.
- Personal and professional development: Participants should have the opportunity to develop both professionally and personally.
- Promoting teamwork: Erfolgsucher is always completed as a team and promotes active cooperation and exchange among the participants.
- Open to all: There are no barriers to participation; everyone should have the opportunity to contribute to our joint success.
- Visual identity: The identity of Erfolgsucher should also be clearly recognizable visually and have a motivating effect.
- Application of business excellence: Participants unconsciously apply business excellence practices, which continuously improves the quality and effectiveness of the organization.
