If you are looking for someone to moderate your company's workshop, assist with your communication strategy, or offer consulting advice more broadly, Dr Anne Michel cannot be recommended warmly enough. I have worked with Anne on joint research projects and find her to be highly intelligent, professional and with global experience. She is a delight to work with, given her Northern German charm and wit. She brings a holistic perspective to the table, including a solid theoretical and conceptual foundation dating back to her scholarly work with universities.
Agile strength
Do you encounter inefficient processes and stuck patterns in your organization? Would you like to improve the way your company or team works, but you don't know where to start?
Agile organizations like to question themselves to get better and stronger in the long term. Agile strength impacts employee performance - and the customers feel it, too.
Working with Agile Creation
In times of VUCA and BANI, networks are more important than ever: I am convinced that transformation in organizations evolves primarily through collaboration. If you involve your employees, you will initiate truly tangible and sustainable changes.
My partners and I do not deliver run-of-the-mill solutions on a silver platter. Together with you and your team, we develop tailor-made solutions - as impulse-givers, co-creators, out-of-the-box thinkers as well as creative companions.
The heart behind agile creation
I am Anne, the founder of Agile Creation. I have been working as an organizational developer, business coach and trainer for many years. In doing so, my heart beats very firmly for agility. Setting new sails? Sure, I'm in.
My philosophy of life: «Change by Design and not by Disaster». Proactively change the pain points your company has to face before they eventually get a firm grip on you. The idea behind it: Don't be the «victim of external influences», but an initiator and creative designer of change.
Grow together
Among others, I was already allowed to support these organizations in breaking patterns, changing perspectives and making agility a faithful companion.

Dr. Anne Michel conveys her training content in a very clear and entertaining way due to her direct and relaxed manner and her comprehensible way of expressing herself. I have attended several of her project management courses and can only recommend them. She often clarifies the content with vivid examples and strongly involves the participants, encouraging interactions and group work. This makes the training courses very entertaining, and the content taught stays in the mind. Keep it up! 😊

She supported us in our communication and marketing efforts. I was particularly impressed by Anne's ability to quickly grasp the essence of what we wanted to say and her fast response time. She always managed to loosen up tensions with her refreshing personality. Anne would be an asset to any team.

Anne is excellent at activating stimulating and constructive team dynamics in the seminar. With her expertise, she provides further assessments of specific project management problems and is able to embed them in real-life examples. A balanced amount of input and interaction, of individual work and group tasks ensures the personal learning success of all participants. I have never before experienced a seminar series that was so intensive in terms of content and at the same time so motivating in terms of mutual exchange.
