Our
Approach

Change is natural and inevitable. Effective transformations do not happen through external programs, but from within. We have seen organizations develop ambitious strategies and launch one program after another, just to watch them fizzling out ineffectively.


That's why we start from within: to unlock the potential that already lies dormant in your organization. We give you the tools you need to improve collaboration, create structures that enable sustainable innovation, and develop processes that motivate.

Our focus is on empowerment: empowering employees and thus the organization to shape change in the way it needs: Empowering the power inside.

How We
Act

Thoughtful.
We consider the effects of our actions, are aware of our responsibility and strive to create value through sensible actions.
Consistent.
We do what we say, act professionally and are knowledgeable.
We get things done and show up when we are needed.
At eye level.
We meet people at eye level, openly and with interest.
Humorous where appropriate, always likeable.
Portrait of Mario A. Brückner, founder of CALADE GmbH

The Founder

Clear and pragmatic – Mario A. Brückner guides organizations through profound transformations as an advisor, coach and interim project/program manager. He supports strategy development and ensures its execution through effective portfolio management. As needed, he either provides guidance as a coach or takes on a temporary leadership role as an interim manager. For over 20 years, he has been in the projects himself – not on the sidelines.
He doesn’t measure success by billable hours, but by real, lasting results for his clients.
For many years, Mario worked in traditional consulting. In 2018, he founded the New Work Solutions GmbH – the predecessor to CALADE – as a deliberate distinction from conventional consulting approaches.
CALADE is about solving clients’ problems – with focus, experience, and the right mindset.
What he learns on projects, he shares: as the author of several books on transformation and new ways of working, as The Innovation Speaker on international stages on AI, strategy and leadership, and as co-founder of Agilizer, a vendor-neutral network for agile practitioners. For Mario, that’s the same mindset as his consulting: sharing knowledge instead of holding it back.
Mario’s working style is clear and open, built on trust and a down-to-earth approach. He doesn’t shy away from taking responsibility and faces challenges with courage – and a subtle sense of humour.
Hands on, no fuss!
“The best strategy produces no result as long as nobody lives it.”
