Entrepreneurs & Startups

From business development to human resources strategy and corporate law, we counsel startups and entrepreneurs through their ideation processes, validate their initial approaches and help them find a clear strategy. With our broad experience in the Mergers and Acquisitions as well as Venture Capital sectors, we are your go-to when it comes to financing and structuring issues.

We are constantly reminded that the culture is the game changer. Without agility, startups stand the risk of stagnation. Here, we build bridges in the big organisations of this world and help to develop the culture in established circles. Talk to us, we would very much like to share our experiences with you.

NPOs & SOCIAL BUSINESSES

In the areas of organisational development, strategy, communication, digitalisation and innovation, we have served large non-profit organisations, institutions and social enterprises as consultants for more than 10 years.

Our claim at Lumen Partners is that we not only consult, but also bring in our own practical experiences as examples and proof-of-concept. We like to think of ourselves as craftsmen and not consultants. This means that we do not just preach “change”, but rather showcase our own projects, programs and foundations that have been brought to life to serve as visual proof and reference. From these experiences, market observations and comprehensive studies, we derive our approach and contextualize it in the respective contexts.

CHURCHES

Whether it be ecumenical fora, regional churches or comprehensive digital strategies, you are sure to benefit from our many years of experience in ecclesiastical and charity projects, but also from socio-economic contexts. Discover more in our references.

Over the last 10 years, Lumen has facilitated alongside local communities, cultural initiatives, nonprofit organisations and several state churches discourses in church, diaconal and social business environments. Our own foundations range from fresh X, "Fresh Expression of Church" in coffee, casino and co-working spaces to social-diaconal initiatives, communities, share houses, networks and charitable initiatives for cultural change.

CORPORATES

Today's world is less influenced by clearly defined tasks, yet it requires a lot of thought, proactivity, passion and flexibility. On such topic as mindset, there are clear numbers (KPIs). We have developed clear measuring points on how a common mindset affects sales, employee and customer satisfaction and the innovative strength of an organisation.

Whether the transformation is digital or global, whether you want to be more innovative, agile, or scalable, our team of communications strategists, innovation experts, and human resources managers will work with you throughout the implementation process.

We specialise in topics and tools such as Mindset, OKRs, Transformation, New Work, etc. We believe they are the most effective approach to achieving real impact. Our case studies show how companies act, what obstacles they overcome and how companies can update their culture. Talk to us.

INDIVIDUALS

He who refuses to develop and learn consistently will eventually become a stumbling block for the growth of his team and his organisation. Trainings, books and videos could possibly help. However, they are often inapplicable for your own situation. As a rule, an executive is responsible for his own development and there is often nobody who meticulously watches out for them. And most employees find it difficult to give helpful feedback.

Nothing beats practice. The more responsibility we carry, the more we are able to learn. This is exactly where the leadership profile comes in to provide orientation for further development. Take the leadership test here.
