Scaling up by Using Solution Focus and Agile Frameworks

Vier für Texas, a Co-Creative Agency, found itself in the turbulence of maintaining its identity while aspiring for more significant market shares.

In 2023, the team started on a journey to work on the organisation's strategy and break it down into goals and their measurement. This way, they decided to face a dual challenge: staying true to their values while scaling up by using Solution Focus and Agile Frameworks.

The agency is based in Frankfurt am Main. It was founded in 2002 and currently has around 40 employees. In 2020, the agency started using agile iterations for processes and structures, such as Holacratic Roles and Circles.

Our guests are, Heike Ehmann and Nina Mönich.

Nina and Heike will share how they established a balance between the essence of the foundational values and the inevitable pressures of scaling up within Vier für Texas.

They will focus on two pillars:

1. They created the company's strategy to connect the existing vision with down-to-earth goals. To provide orientation, they established an agile process that made informed decision-making and moving forward possible.
2. Afterwards, they adopted the objectives process through retrospectives and involved the teams to enable them to set their own KPIs. Continuous communication ensured that everyone involved understood the evolving dynamics and could provide feedback.

Heike is a solution-focused Certified Organisation Design Professional and practitioner with a background in HR. Since January 2022, she has worked with Nina Mönich as a Coach in Organisation Design and Development.

Nina studied history and philosophy. She worked for eight years at the Frankfurt co-creative agency, most recently as Managing Director. She is intensively involved with the question of how new forms of work and leadership can be designed in agile organisations and what it takes to really bring teams to their strengths.
