Client Case: Linde | Page 2

Working together
with the consultants from
goetzpartners, employees
from operative business
areas were not only
introduced to innovative
methods and tools.
They and their external
coaching partners also
challenged and supported
us on a personal level,
enabling us to put the
theory into practice
immediately in the
respective teams.
LINDE
THE CORE EXPLORED
The goal of the project was to develop, test, and implement a scalable approach
for the digital transformation of the Linde workforce. The aim was to equip as
many employees as possible during the process, enabling them to proactively
drive digital solutions for Linde and its customers. Linde collaborated closely
with goetzpartners in order to develop and implement a multi-level program
designed to achieve this aim. The result was a programmatic digitalization stra-
tegy that was closely tailored to the needs of the company.
On a digital learning journey with goetzpartners
In a first big step, goetzpartners organized a series of boot camps to which all
employees involved in the respective learning journey were invited. Here, the
focus was on helping Linde employees develop an extended digital mindset;
modular training sessions were held on all levels for this purpose. In this manner,
Linde and the team of consultants were able to create a common basis and
language for the entire corporate group. During the course of more than 15
bootcamps and “Idea to Action” workshops, goetzpartners supported groups of
around 20 participants over the course of three months and showed them how
to introduce and implement their own ideas for Linde’s digital future.
From the workshop through to the development and presentation of a prototype
on Demo Day, goetzpartners supported Linde employees with their comprehen-
sive expertise in the field of programmatic digital transformation. This enabled
employees to identify their personal role in the digital transformation of the
company, actively shape this role, and find new solutions for their individual day-
to-day tasks.

A modular future
Often, it’s important for solutions to be modular so that they can be adapted to
other industries. However, new technology and success stories are just as im-
portant here as innovative work methods and digital tools when it comes to
implementing solutions into operative business processes.
