Christian founded ChangeConsulting in 2010, after more than 25 years in engineering and product development. He helps automotive, machinery, and tech companies raise engineering performance without adding headcount, by fixing the processes, methods, and decisions that quietly slow development down. Through a strong partner network, he also brings in subject matter experts for larger transformation and implementation projects. His conviction after 25 years: when development is too slow or too expensive, the cause is rarely the technology. It is how work, decisions, and people are organized around it. That is what he fixes, and he stays until it works.
Why Choose ChangeConsulting for Engineering Optimization?
You do not need another framework or a bigger team. You need the few changes that move development speed, cost, and quality at once. That is what we find, and help you put in place.
Built for the Mittelstand
We work the way mid-sized industrial companies actually run: lean teams, real deadlines, no room for theory that does not pay off.
Industry Expertise
More than 25 years and a strong partner network across automotive, machinery, and tech. We have seen where development breaks, and we know what actually fixes it.
Proven Results
In one turnaround: development cost cut by half, time-to-market down 30 percent, field defects down 95 percent. Same team, same product, a structured approach.
Customer Voices
What The Clients Say
Christian has a very large theoretical toolbox that he abundantly shares and brings into use with great impact. He manages to superbly combine theory with his gained experience within project management, engineering and organisational challenges on all levels. He is quick in assessing data, ambiguous statements, organisational politics and find a way forward. He is always prepared and have thought through how to effectively and efficiently discuss, negotiate and convince in order to find the common ground that will bring things/ projects forward to the good of the people and the company. He is capable of wrapping up complex situations, technical as well as organisational, and present it in a logical and comprehensible way. I would be happy to work with Christian again at any time.
– Henning P. | Director Engineering
Christian served as an interim director of research & development and product management with us. He works very strategically, possesses high social competence, is a creative leader, and is highly loyal. He introduced new structures, significantly improved product quality through optimized test management, and fostered more independence among the leadership team. I rate his performance and his interactions with the employees as excellent. I consider him a valuable person.
– Uwe R. | CEO
Christian implemented the project with great success. His exceptional personal and professional skills significantly contributed to reducing development time, saving costs, and increasing both quantity and quality within the product development process. Our expectations in terms of meeting deadlines, adhering to development costs, quality standards, as well as the achieved acceptance of new processes and methods by all interface partners, were far exceeded. Notably, his strong personal commitment throughout the entire project deserves special mention.
