Aiming to provide a more user/reader friendly experience to a theoretical and strategic topic!

Overall: Awareness is considered the foundation of change – a beginning of something new, letting go of the old. Two decisions that are often small, often big, but usually not easy. Rapid changes and new challenges characterize the development in the furniture and design industry. We are familiar with the existing, but new things often seem threatening because we cannot assess what is coming.
To avoid risks and take advantage of opportunities, we at Design Network offer clearly structured process support. With in-depth knowledge of the market, methodical competence and professional project management, we accompany our customers individually through a process of change.

We do this on a creative and strategic level. We create effective brands, develop forward-looking strategies and find goal-oriented solutions. We shift perspectives so that new synergies become visible. This is how we fill “circles” – new, empty and unknown. That’s why we also call our team: Circle of competence, a colourful bunch of creative and strategic minds.

Back to the foundation of change – consciousness. In order to react quickly to today’s needs of consumers and markets, we create awareness for the topic of change with this book. The future will bring change, with or without us. It is therefore very important to us to prepare you for dealing with change, for the necessary change management.

Our Circle of competence member Manfred Zumtobel wrote this book. It gives an insight into his many years of experience with changes and introduces you to our day-to-day activities with our customers.
