Hello, I'm the Nilpard. I represent Timmermann as a “heraldic animal”. My backside is that of a hippo, my front part is that of a cheetah. I stand for “transform stability”. With my agile front and my stable back, I combine two seemingly opposite characteristics. But I am steadfast and yet agile. This means that I am constantly evolving without being fragile or unstable. “Transform stability” is a state that we at Timmermann strive for every day, e.g. B. by being a learning community. We also help our clients to achieve this agile and at the same time stable state. The blue color symbolizes our structured way of thinking, while red represents our open hearts. This duality is also reflected in the “how” of our company: “With bright minds and open hearts”.
When Michael Timmermann worked as a management consultant at a leading strategy consultancy, the strategic consulting craft was applied down to the finest detail. However, he felt that something crucial was missing: the focus on interpersonal work, which has a significant impact on metrics and the success of transformations. Theoretically, everyone agreed, but in practice, there was much resistance. Comments like "The clients won't go for it," "We don't have time for that," "Yes, but not like that," and "Okay, but if someone doesn't like it, you're responsible" were common. On the other hand, there were trainers and coaches in the industry who lacked the analytical and economic skills necessary for successful change. Michael's reaction: "If I can't find the company I want to work for, I'll just start it myself." This led to the creation of Timmermann Partners, now one of the six service lines of the Timmermann Group. With the mission: "We shape change with clients who really mean it."
