Bluecrux did not arrive with a fixed position and just consult. Rather, they embedded themselves in Henkel Adhesive Technologies’ s teams, co-led workstreams and challenged thinking from the inside.
“ You don’ t want consultants who have a firm opinion and try to teach and push it through,” he says.“ You want a collaborative approach. To be part of a team, to be challenged, but also to challenge back and to adapt where adaptation is necessary. That’ s how we work, and that’ s what Bluecrux does so well.” Bjoern sees the partnership in similar terms. The relationship, he says, operates on equal footing that’ s less service provider and client, more two organisations thinking through the same problems together.
“ The collaboration with Bluecrux is on eye level,” he says.“ I don’ t perceive them as the ones who execute for me. We do this together.
