HI involvement-impact model

We believe involvement drives impact. Our Involvement-Impact Model shows that while training builds awareness, real change happens through coaching and joint project delivery. By actively applying knowledge in real challenges, we ensure results are achieved, learning is embedded, and return on investment is maximized—for both individuals and organizations.

HI in Ceramics

A company is like an organism. It is born, goes through growing pains, and matures. Every company, I am convinced, has its own personality. I thought it would be a nice challenge to capture the identity, the personality of my own company HI in a sculpture. After all, a picture says more than a thousand words. No sooner said than done.

The 7 steps to innovate successfully

We believe in talents and teamwork. Based on our experience we derived 7 factors of successful innovation. Challenging projects and talent development are strongly connected to each other. You need to have the right challenging projects to be able to work on your personal development and develop your career.

4 + 1 Model

We foster entrepreneurial growth through our 4+1 model. In addition to commercial projects, professionals are encouraged to dedicate time to personal development, start-ups, or building new competencies. With experience across start-up, scale-up, SME, and OEM environments, we believe that working on your own initiative alongside a major project drives innovation, ownership, and professional growth—benefiting both the individual and the organization.
