"In 2014, Ms Förster supported us significantly in redirecting our program to introduce a standardized process-based IT platform for our global sales organization. The quality audit carried out by her showed the necessary activities for a successful launch of the program, which were subsequently harmonized in the program organization and detailed planning of the projects. Ms Förster knew how to get the stakeholders involved very quickly and to bring the program on the road to success. I would always like to use these skills again. "

"The time we've worked together has been quite short, but very intense. I have seen and experienced so many improvements and results of someone entering into an existing project organization. Your dynamism, inspiration and moving force, has given the Miele / NEXT program a completely different dimension and quality. "
Noel Smets
Regional Managing Director North-West Europe
"In a very critical phase of our program to realign the IT platform for our distribution companies, Ms Förster quickly analyzed our complex project situation, identified and pushed necessary corrective activities. With her methodical competence, exceptional commitment and direct, engaging style, she quickly brought our stakeholders on board and decisively shaped the reorientation of the program. Their commitment helped us a lot and I would like to thank you for the exciting and formative time together. "

"In a challenging project situation, Ms Förster helped us a lot to set the right course and take all necessary steps to get back on track for success. Thanks to her outstanding commitment and dedication, she succeeded in a short time to bring about the necessary positive "jerk" in our organization. Moreover, in my career so far I have not been allowed to experience a manager who combines such a brilliant methodical competence with a comprehensive technical content foundation in one person. The fact that working with Ms. Förster was also a lot of fun thanks to her open and obliging nature was the icing on the cake for me personally. "
Ralph Ellerbrock

With exceptional commitment, consistent leadership and high Methodical skills marked the path to success and orchestrated the change.

"In a difficult project situation, Ms Förster set the right course with her experience and her personality. In many discussions with all the relevant program staff she has identified the strengths and weaknesses of our program organization and initiated the necessary measures for improvement. With her leadership qualities and her positive way of approaching people, she has carried us all and steered the program back into the right direction. "

"Sylke Förster has proven her added value from day 1. With her experience she managed to get things structured in a matter of months which no one in our organization has succeeded to do for years. Her experience, good ideas, hard work and a structured approach have made the next step forward. But maybe most important is the motivation and enthusiasm she evokes in people. This is very good from great. With coaching sessions she assisted people on a personal basis. And making people grow, that's what matters for your organization. That is what provides a long lasting impact! "

"Ms Förster accompanied and guided us through a phase of major changes in IT, including in particular the rethinking and reorientation of traditional thinking at all levels of the hierarchy.
She has mastered this difficult task with flying colors. This success is ultimately based on her personality, which combines her wealth of experience with a stringent, clear and open leadership style and a strong emotional and social intelligence. In particular, I would like to thank Ms. Förster for her coaching, which has tremendously supported and advanced me in my personal development. "
