Are you thinking that being a parent of little children and a strategic Consultant at the same time are diametrical opposites that cannot be reconciled with each other? Well, I was thinking the same thing and I have learned that this was a misjudgment: it is absolutely possible. Even more in todays era of predominant home office work. Join our host Ben that is a father of two little children and his dear colleagues Franziska who just became a mother a few months ago and is now planning to return to work part-time and Christian who is father of two children and manages the balancing act with part-time work and meticoulus planning and support.  Listen in and learn from us how we do it so you can have your own opinion about it if that could be something for you, too. Share your thoughts with us and we'll be happy to comment.

Drawing from his background in EA consulting in the business sector, Schielein offers his perspective on why a systematic and holistic EA approach is essential not just for businesses, but also for driving effective transformation in universities.
