WHAT IF DISORDER IS THE NEW ORDER?

2020 may feel like we've been pushed around by destiny.

People claim we live in the New Normal. But the New Normal is just a Myth. Our times are everything but normal.

Our world is in constant flux. The triplet of a pandemic, climate change and digital transformation forces us to adapt our private and work-lives not only for this year, but for the foreseeable future.

So how do we deal with a world that is not the New Normal, but the New Fluid instead?

TO ADDRESS THIS WE HAVE CREATED TWO PROGRAMMES THAT HELP YOU THRIVE IN A WORLD WHERE DISORDER IS THE NEW ORDER:

CONSTANT REDEFINITION
MASTERING THE CRISIS
CONSTANT REDEFINITION

introduces you to the essential ingredient for creation and innovation: disruption.

This programme shows you how disruption enables creativity, outlining the patterns of Mythology, Systems Thinking, Neuroscience and Creative Sciences. These surprisingly have a lot in common. You’ll also get to know some roadblocks on the path to adaption

Dive in and explore a fresh approach to disruption.

Don’t bore the ceo

My career in private equity started with a frustration and an insight at the same time. I soon got over the frustration. The insight stayed with me and grew to this day. This insight also pioneered the way for Clarintelligence.

As a rookie private equity professional, working the first week in my new job, coming with a bag of due diligence experience, my boss asked me to prepare our questions for the Management Q&A of a company we wanted to acquire (if you are not familiar with private equity, think of the Management Q&A as the first date after which both parties can decide whether or not there is a potential for marriage).

I did research on the business. Based on my previous experience I proudly came up with the list of 15-20 questions that any diligent consultant would come up with.

My boss politely suggested that I could throw this list into the garbage. To have a fruitful conversation with the management we needed to focus on the three to five questions that are most important for that particular business. And then we needed to go deep on them. This is what we did. And we managed to speak to them eye to eye, not only learning a lot about the business, but also positioning ourselves as a valuable potential partner.

So hats off to anyone who knows how businesses work. This is important. But the true art lies in finding those factors that have the biggest impact on the future of one particular business. So do more of fewer things, of the important stuff. Get to the questions that matter.

And be sure to not bore the ceo - or anybody else for that matter. If you are the ceo, recommend this site to everyone around you, so that they don’t bore you (though you don’t have to be ceo to recommend us, we appreciate any recommendation).

If you want to fly, find the X-Factor

This is why at Clarintelligence we help businesses identify and focus on those elements that have the biggest impact on a businesses’ future. We help them find the X-Factor.

By doing so we help executives develop strategies and adjust their businesses to a changing world.

We start by dissecting the components that make up successful, profitable and sustainable business models and how these components are changing in our dynamic environment. Based on these insights we then move on to helping businesses develop the right strategic options, so that they get ready to become airborne.

Who We Are

Martin Hoffmann

This is me writing here. I founded Clarintelligence drawing on my experience as private equity professional. In private equity I was fortunate to work with a variety of businesses. This means that I was able to draw connections between different business and detect common patterns. I was also fortunate to work with these businesses from a board level perspective. This, again helped me focus on what matters for a particular business. This also helped me learn not to ask stupid questions because senior management - as the name implies - tended to be much older and experienced than me. By now, I am one of the older chaps. As bad luck would have it, today’s business world is changing so rapidly that I basically had to remain in the learning mode, trying to keep the questions focused and smart.

I have also contributed to Entrepreneur Magazine and Equities Magazine. This probably won’t help you in any way, but I thought I’d mention it since we don’t know each other that well yet, and this is social proof that tells you I make at least that much sense that the editors there decided to deal with me.

Robot

We are supported by our AI bot. Consider him to be the intern for the moment. His current position is to support our human intelligence. We are aware that this means he has some big shoes to fill. We are busy training him to take on more tasks so that we can hopefully promote him to a VP role in the near future. Luckily bots tend to be loyal, so we expect him to stay with us, even if Google’s or Facebook’s headhunters reach out for him.
