We are TransformationDramaturgs*

We use strategic & collaborative storytelling to effectively drive transformations.

*A dramaturg is an expert in the structure,
analysis, flow and activation of stories.

We effectively support transformations with
a story-driven transformation process

by using strategic & collaborative storytelling, as well as data-driven analysis. We reflect the north-star, create the narrative,  collaboratively develop communication processes, activate and trigger everyone, weave the storylines, and keep a close look onto the effectiveness. We make sure that the communication is interactive, emotional and innovative – and therefore stands out from the vast clutter of todays times.

#innovative #meaningful #storytelling

Using the story-driven transformation process simultaneously as a communication, activation, and monitoring tool secures effective and emotionally activating transformations.

FAQ

+-What does our name stand for?

onto stands for [ontological] – the science of being and the interconnectedness of all things. We dive deep into the essence of the company or the question. What is the core of the challenge? We connect these insights with the company’s values and vision to create a solid foundation for moving toward the north star.

Anything can be placed into square brackets. It’s the authors, the dramaturgs prerogative. That is why we have square brackets around [story]. It represents our search for the individual and precise story. With our stories, we try to inspire and actively involve both internal and external target groups. These stories not only motivate participation, but also create a connection that invites everyone to become part of the transformation themselves.

+-Our background

We come from 11.5 years of onliveline – an office for transformation, storytelling and staging. During this time, we have developed strategic and collaborative stories for clients from a wide range of markets. We are used to telling and activating these stories with any suitable tool or format – live, digital and virtual.  Our work is based on the conviction that the right story not only informs, but also inspires and drives change.

+-What are we passionate about?

Effectively implementing and driving transformation with storytelling. Really! 🙂

Our goal is to make complex issues easy to understand, to take people along and create movements. We love meaningful impact and innovation. That is why we always use the hashtags:

#innovative #meaningful #storytelling

+-consulting, coaching, staging, technology, innovation, gamification - how do we manage it all?

Our background is storytelling, dramaturgy and directing in theater, documentations and events. We always focus on the storyline and activation. And from there, we invite experts to work closely together with us, enabling the storylines together with us.  A strong network, closely tied into our expertise, is key.

+-What are or favorite projects and clients?

We love working on eye level with transparency. Earn the trust for moving forward together. Developing meaningful impact, with fun and braveness. And create focus in complex issues. Efficiently, always toward a common goal.

+-How do we work or calculate?

Depending on the project, starting point or issue, we usually work with retainers with a detailed breakdown, day rates, or a flat rate – whatever makes sense and we decide upon together.
