6 | Management Consulting Awards 2026 Best Change Management Consultancy 2026 – Germany Frauke Christiansen established Reinventing Organizations in 2010 with the aim of enhancing the courage and capability to change on both an organisational and individual level. She provides exceptional management consulting in the fields of change management, leadership topics, team performance, and communication, including crisis communication, communication in restructuring projects, conflict resolution, writing texts and presentations, and performance coaching for managers. Through Reinventing Organizations, Frauke undertakes a wide range of management consultancy work. Clients turn to her expertise with myriad queries, from adequately preparing their operations prior to announcing a redundancy and reshaping organisational structure to designing and implementing module-based training and managing teams. Frauke’s core values of clarity, pragmatism, and reliability are central to everything she does on a daily basis. She told us: “My clients quickly feel understood and that they can confide in me. I listen without judging, prefer clear words, and avoid technical terms from the management world or psychology jargon. That way I include everyone!” Furthermore, by staying true to these values, Frauke not only approaches each client with the same base level of respect and care but she also understands how to go the extra mile in tailoring solutions to them as individuals to produce the best outcome for unique needs. Regardless of the client’s enquiry, Frauke will always adjust her solutions accordingly. “My approach is very much dependent on the individual assignment,” she told us. “I always advocate for a handson and interactive approach – that is, including team members without leadership responsibility – when designing the programme or measures. This creates a lot of buy-in and provides valuable insights into the real problems, or the problem behind the problem.” Many new clients express reservations about management consultants when they first interact with Reinventing Organizations, having witnessed the ineffective results of the “big five” conducting projects within their companies. With this in mind, Frauke strives to make a difference from the very beginning of their engagement, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to her signature values of clarity, pragmatism, and reliability. Clients soon realise that they can confide in Frauke, trusting the way she listens without judging, uses clear words, and avoids technical jargon. “I know what works and what doesn’t,” she explained. “I don’t need lengthy – and costly – diagnosis phases to find out what the problem behind the problem is. I focus on actions that are feasible and match the company’s culture and speed of change, not on actions that are trendy. I refuse to produce piles of PowerPoint slides, but talk to people instead. I have developed pretty good workshop methods and communication formats to establish a trusted partnership and working relationship.” Throughout every offering, whether that’s tailored solutions for individual managers, entire teams, or company structures, Frauke focuses on expertly building trust even during a significant short ramp-up time. She leans on her decades of experience to quickly and accurately assess a wide variety of business models, cultures, leadership styles, and willingness to evolve. As transparency and accountability play such integral roles within any business relationship, Frauke strives to offer clear, addresseeoriented communication that is deeply ingrained into the process at every level. Frauke’s pragmatic approach, while keeping things simple and straightforward, results in uniting teams to create a highperforming organization. Frauke is a master in reconnecting individuals in business, to futureproof a company and its success. She added: “I have everything and everyone in view - even in large workshops. I don’t just mean center stage, but also notice what is happening “on the sidelines”. With me, everyone gets their say and their due. I get people talking again! Even if there are more differences than similarities in the team. The teams learn that what everyone brings to the table can be respected and appreciated. It is a gain to be able to use different strengths productively.” Supporting corporate clients from all around the world, Frauke enriches the effectiveness of communication in the business landscape, increases innovation in services delivered to end users, and improves the way we see the management consulting industry overall. Ultimately, Frauke prides herself on her wealth of expertise which she weaves into each interaction with her clients but there’s so much more to her approach. Though never one to chase trends, Frauke does ensure that Reinventing Organizations remains informed of industry changes.
