Our Business often starts with a simple question: “How do we find the right talent?”
Although recruiting the right people with the right skills is a common starting point for teams to grow or innovate, oftentimes what needs to come before is overlooked: the right structures, processes, and culture that enable these talents to thrive.
That's why we are convinced that lasting value for our clients is not just created by providing isolated services. It's created by offering holistic solutions – solutions that result from the interplay of expertise across different disciplines.
This is how the Konzepthaus biosphere came to life: a collaborative ecosystem in which our Recruiting, Learning, Consulting & Design Project Management Units are in constant dialogue.
Instead of operating in separated silos, they complement and strengthen each other, so our clients are ensured seamless, strategic, and scalable support that is tailored to their specific needs.
But what does this look like in practice?
Setting the course from day one
From the very first meeting with a potential customer, our aim is to understand their needs holistically. Because before searching for the “right people,” you need to know what you’re actually building:
- What’s your purpose – are you creating a future-oriented Design Department, launching a new studio, or simply filling a gap?
- What’s your strategy – design-driven, customer-led, product-focused, or expanding into the European market?
- Have roles and responsibilities been clearly defined? Are your teams truly set up for success, or are the right skills and coaching still missing?
Sometimes, hiring isn’t the answer – at least not right away. Instead, with the right coaching or targeted skill-building, existing teams can go much further. In other cases, bringing in external support is the way to go: flexible, experienced partners who move projects forward and contribute long-term value.
Through the regular exchange and close collaboration of our Units, we help clients and partners think through these questions, often before they even arise.
Because a great holistic approach doesn’t just solve problems. It anticipates challenges. It rethinks processes. It provides impulses. And it creates comprehensive, future-ready solutions.
More than the sum of its parts
As Design departments in the automotive industry are under increasing pressure, they need to innovate faster, navigate complexity, and justify the value of Design within the entire organisation.
Meeting these demands – and, even more so, staying ahead – requires more than mere external support.
It requires a partner who understands both the creative and structural dimensions of Design. A partner who has the ability to think big, yet act with precision. A partner who doesn’t just understand complexity, but knows how to connect the dots across different areas to turn challenges into strategic opportunities.
That partner is us, Konzepthaus.
And that's the power of our Business Units working in sync – the unique ability to provide holistic support.
