About me

I am Kim Nena Duggen – organizational architect and trainer. My passion is developing organizational architectures that truly advance people and companies and enable cooperation on an equal footing.

I love combining theory and practice in a way that brings about lasting change. Depending on the needs, I switch between the roles of consultant, trainer, or coach – always with the goal of developing tailor-made solutions that work. I particularly enjoy working with people who want to take action themselves!
