Jasmin Wölke facilitates workshops and strategy offsites in Stuttgart and the surrounding region, in German and English. Her office is in Ludwigsburg: short distances, preparation in person, no travel costs.
An audience that questions every method
The Stuttgart region is engineering country. Mercedes-Benz in Untertürkheim, Porsche in Zuffenhausen, Bosch in Gerlingen, plus world market leaders such as Trumpf in Ditzingen, Stihl in Waiblingen and Kärcher in Winnenden. Anyone facilitating a workshop here sits in front of people who optimise processes for a living. This audience will not join an exercise whose purpose it does not understand. Sticky notes for the sake of sticky notes fail immediately. Jasmin takes that seriously. She explains what result each step delivers, keeps the toolkit lean and puts the subject ahead of the staging. That is how she wins over exactly those participants who used to consider workshops a waste of time.
A home game means better preparation
The S-Bahn from Ludwigsburg to central Stuttgart takes about 15 minutes. For your workshop this means the briefing happens at a table, not only on a video call. Jasmin visits the room in advance, talks to the people responsible face to face and can take on short-notice dates. There are no travel or hotel costs, and a start at eight in the morning is no problem. Suitable venues include the Haus der Wirtschaft, a conference hotel or deliberately a house outside the city when the team needs distance from daily business. More important than the address: daylight, walls to work on and quiet.
Strategy work from her own career
Jasmin did not learn workshops in a seminar but on the job. As a Director at Robert Bosch she steered strategy work for markets across Europe and the Middle East, responsible for 100 people. She knows how quickly an offsite tips into activity for its own sake: too many topics, no mandate, nobody owning the results. So before the date she clarifies what the workshop may decide, who needs to be in the room and how the team will measure success four weeks later. If your group works in English, she facilitates and documents in both languages.
From the first call to results
It starts with a short conversation about goal, participants and lines of conflict. From that she builds an agenda designed backwards from the desired outcome: silent working phases, visible interim results, and at the end a list that ties every decision to a name. More about the city is on the Stuttgart city page, the format is explained on workshop moderation, and the briefing checklist structures the preparation.
