    In this challenging change project, Mr. Knecht managed to successfully implement the change processes in the Stuttgart insurance company. Organizational changes were implemented in a sensible consequence.

    Frank Karsten (CEO) Die Stuttgarter

    Project management 2.0 (Germany)

    The project process was hybrid, with the classic project structure enclosing implementation teams in both classic and agile setup (SAFe). In this time-critical project, Mr. Knecht has made a significant contribution to delivering the contractually agreed delivery items on time and in a required quality. In addition to his high level of commitment, his professional leadership combined with a high level of pragmatism and his quick understanding were the drivers of success.

    Burkhard Brunner (Head of Central Project Management)

    Mr Knecht, with his in-depth knowledge from the spheres of banking and insurance, proved to be a very valuable member of staff. With a peak number of over 200 internal and external employees on the project, his strengths lay above all in the management of numerous IT colleagues and the external service providers involved. Overall, all relevant project results were delivered on time and in consistently high quality. I can expressly recommend him for your project and think that in him you can acquire a very competent project manager and an assertive figure.
