The Challenge
Team dynamics in transition, high pressure to adapt
At Telekom, the challenge was to implement a comprehensive change in the project and team setup. Employees moved from freer roles to positions with clearer responsibilities and demands. It was necessary to support this change through targeted team building, to promote future-oriented skills and at the same time to value employees for their achievements. DeepSkill has provided tailor-made solutions to develop the necessary leadership skills and sustainably strengthen team dynamics.

VP Partnering & Business Development
„What sets DeepSkill apart for us is their ability to offer a customized solution: they sat down with us to identify our challenges and objectives and then developed targeted content tailored to our needs. For me, the most valuable part of the program is the personal interaction. The guided discussions with a coach who highlights key points, provides summaries, and facilitates team reflections to incorporate different perspectives were incredibly impactful. The greatest benefit for me was learning from others through professional moderation. It also helped me grow on a personal level.″
