Digital Transformation.
Strategic Communication.
Being Unique.​

Do you want to change your company or position it differently?
I am happy to accompany you – as a team with you and with more than 20 years of experience as a manager and strategist.​

Auftraggeber​

“Seeing the big picture, reaching new goals – that’s what I love about paragliding as well.”​

„Das Ganze sehen, neue Ziele erreichen – das liebe ich auch beim Gleitschirmfliegen.“

Eins

Who are you?​

“That depends on who’s asking. I ran the Edenspiekermann design and digital agency for 15 years. Back then, I headed a large team. Today, I’m only my own boss. I started my own business in 2020 because I wanted to roll up my sleeves and “get my hands dirty” again. My name is Oliver Schmidthals.”
Zwei

What do you do?​

“I shape change and I often use the brand and culture of my clients. Transformation can be slow, and sometimes it’s chaotic. My job is to make sure that neither of these things happen. I put on my thinking cap and act as an accelerator, and I do this with a great deal of passion.”
Drei

What do paragliding and your work have in common?​

“I’ve been flying since I was 16. Before you fly, you consult with each other. When you take off, you take a direction and you stick to the plan once you’re in the air. The same applies to projects. You have to make decisions you believe in. But: Decisions are also adapted flexibly when conditions change.”
Vier

Why are you doing all this?​

“Understanding problems and developing solutions is what I love to do. I am also very pleased when clients thank me at the end of a project in which we’ve successfully shaped change together. That is always a great source of motivation. In fact, it is just as beautiful as paragliding.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Oliver successfully for many years. I have come to appreciate his strategic thinking coupled with his sensible pragmatism and passion.”

How does collaborating with Team Schmidthals look?

Getting to know each other

What do you and your company want to change? In a first step, we sit down together and I find out where you currently stand. At this point, we also decide on the tools we will use later on to determine whether the desired change is on track or successful.

Developing the strategy and concept

Depending on your specific goals, we bring additional experts on board. As a team, we think, learn, build, and design approaches that fuel your desire for change. At the end of this phase, we have a strategy and a plan with clearly defined content, functions, and a project timeline.

Rolling out change

We generally tackle the rollout together. We guide you every step of the way and take the lessons learned from experience to adapt the strategy wherever necessary. As a team, we monitor progress and consolidate the processes that you need to secure lasting success.

Taking stock of our successes and failures​

Together, we take a close look at the collaboration and reflect on the process: What held us back? What brought us closer to our goal? What would we do differently next time?
