Insights into the consulting day-to-day with Christine & Alexander

What's it like to work at combine? What kind of people are behind the projects, and what makes everyday life in consulting special? In this episode of the combine Resonance Lab, two of our colleagues talk about joining combine, their experiences in their daily work, and what our company culture means to them.

What it's about

What does it actually take to be successful in consulting? In this episode, we discuss which skills and qualities are helpful, which items always travel in your suitcase, and how consulting has changed over the years.

Christine Gess, Senior Consultant Workplace Strategy, has been part of combine for several years. She shares her journey from elite sports to consulting and talks about the importance of encounters and team spirit in her daily work.

Alexander Maas, also a Senior Consultant for Workplace Strategy, joined combine in the middle of the pandemic. He reports on his start at a time when everything was different than usual and gives an insight into how consulting, teamwork, and client projects have evolved since then.

In conversation with the CEO Matthias Pietzcker It's about personal routines, the joy of collaboration, and that special moment when workshops not only produce concepts but also make real change palpable.

Furthermore, the two offer insights into how they handle changes in the world of work – from hybrid work models to increasing project complexity – and what it means to design spaces for people and organizations.

The episode makes it clear: combine is a place where passion, curiosity, and the desire to actively shape the world of work are central.
