Deutsche Telekom

Deutsche Telekom is one of the world’s leading publicly traded companies in the ICT sector, with around 230,000 employees across five continents.

Leading a global corporation like this into the future and adapting it to the rapidly changing conditions of our time is no easy task. Long-established corporate structures, ways of working, and mindsets are being tested by increasing connectivity and complexity.

The overarching goal: faster decision-making in a highly dynamic environment, and a substantial, sustainable transformation toward agility, self-organization, and the unlocking of human potential.

Management understood that such an ambitious initiative required more than a simple reorganization of business units. TheDive was invited to support the T3 team (Telekom Transformation Team, 300 leaders from international top management) in transforming Telekom step by step into a network organization.

The goal was to redesign structures, collaboration formats, and decision-making processes from the ground up to be more agile, while also creating cross-silo connectivity. For sustainable activation at the corporate level, we used our transformation framework The Loop Approach®.
