Between Project and Personality

Insights into everyday consulting with Jan-Ole & Pia

Consulting often sounds like numbers, projects, and concepts – but the actual everyday reality is much more diverse. It thrives on personal routines, on teamwork, and on the small moments that make a difference. This is exactly what this episode of our Resonanzlabor is about: taking an authentic look behind the scenes and showing how work is truly lived at combine.

What it's about

Pia Barriga, as an interior designer Senior Expert in Design, and Jan-Ole Gramm, Senior Consultants in Project Management openly discuss their experiences and their very personal perspectives on their work.

Pia talks about her journey from Ecuador to Germany, her start at combine, and how important it is for her to bring her personality into projects.

Jan-Ole shares which rituals accompany his day, how he balances structure and interpersonal aspects in project management, and why the diversity of characters in the team makes all the difference for him.

The conversation also highlights:

  • what flexibility it offers its employees – from sabbaticals and part-time work to cross-location working,
  • and what role personality and interpersonal skills play in advancing at combine.

 

In this conversation, Pia and Jan-Ole show that consulting is not just about projects, processes, and numbers.

What's crucial are the people behind it. With their experiences, quirks, and perspectives that make the daily consulting life at combine vibrant and shape it.
