Christina Janssen
Systemic organization consulting · Bonn
I advise executive teams, leaders and organizations on strategy, change and leadership. With 30 years of experience as a leader and consultant, 17 of them in the US, India and Latin America.
Approach
The plan is in place – then the initiative meets the dynamics of the organization, and the process stalls. That is where I come in. My guiding idea:
“Unlocking the intelligence within the system.”
Starting point
Questions that our work often starts with. Choose one.
Strategy with executive teams
Strategy work with the leadership team: mapping the stakeholder landscape together, clarifying expectations and jointly making sense of signals from the wider environment.
Formats
Change & transformation
I advise, guide and facilitate – depending on what the process needs at the time. Tailored, co-created, and designed so that the aims of the change can already be experienced.
Formats
Change & transformation
Working out the path together: workshops with top management and the senior leadership team, plus individual coaching for the workstream leads.
Formats
Change across continents
17 years in the US, India and Latin America have sharpened my eye for cultural dynamics. I have led global processes from different corners of the world.
My path across three continentsLeadership
Leadership development built around real business challenges, so that people remain able to act together, even in times of uncertainty.
Formats
Leadership
It starts with a systemic diagnosis: Where are tensions building up? What is blocking movement? What wants to emerge? That is where the right levers come from.

About
For 30 years I have been exploring how organizations grow into what comes next – as a leader and as a consultant.
As managing director of a consulting firm and as a manager at the United Nations, I know first-hand what it means to navigate different expectations.
For 17 years I looked at Europe from the outside in – from the US, India and Latin America, immersed in the realities of local offices.
