Our working day at aflexio

Anne Fricke

Solution Architect

‍

"I prefer working from the couch. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like to work in a private environment by myself. That's where I can concentrate best.
In my role at aflexio as a process consultant and solution architect, I have to attend a lot of meetings, but I spend most of my working time designing solutions, performing analyses or coming up with planning algorithms. This work can nowadays easily be done remotely from home or from anywhere else on the go. The ability to work remotely is very important to me because I like to go surfing in my spare time and have to move my home office to the coast to do it. From time to time, however, I'm also happy to visit my customer again, because for some topics, such as a walk-through of the production, it's simply better to be on site."

Robert Siwek

Senior Process Consultant

‍

"In my role as a senior consultant for process optimization, I work very differently. Personally I prefer to interact on site with my customers and colleagues. This gives me the opportunity to jointly analyze issues or define processes in workshops. Through direct contact and communication, I can get to the bottom of things immediately, apply spontaneous approaches and prepare implementation directly with my clients.  I also like to meet with my colleagues in our office. There I can directly exchange information and there is plenty of room for creativity. And this is very important for our team spirit. The rest of the time I usually work remotely, as there are enough other things that don't require my presence. For this, I like to use our anywhere-anytime concept to move my workplace to places where I can pursue my hobbies."

Senior Consultant

"My workday always looks a little different. In my role as Senior Consultant for Integrated Business Planning, I have different roles on the projects. From technical implementation to workshop facilitation, it can be almost anything. As an experienced consultant, I get to assist with sales activities when it comes to technical topics such as demos or use cases, but also with less exciting topics such as effort estimates and project workflows. I frequently alternate between home office and office. The homeoffice allows me to work in a concentrated manner, which is necessary for complex implementations. Here I can work flexibly depending on the day's moodor if it is just better and more focused in the evening, I can even sometimes work late nights when I am able to work on "sexy topics". However, I prefer to work in a team and develop concepts, both technical and procedural. Scribbling around on the whiteboard and working with colleagues and customers, developing new ideas together and maybe even discarding them sometimes, is -for me - the most inspiring aspect of my work.

Martin Pesch

CEO

"My workday usually starts with a small breakfast in our Karlsruhe office. That gives me the energy I need for the first half of the day. Most of the time, I'm not alone. So I spend the morning with a short private exchange parallel to the first coffee before the meetings start or with a few little things to structure the day. Afterwards I go to my workplace and here I almost always start directly into the first appointments with customers and colleagues. My workday is actually almost always made up of 4 blocks: Customer project work, sales activities, administration and controlling our projects. So I switch back and forth between my office, meeting rooms in presence, remote and hybrid appointments. In our open office concept, I can combine this in a great way. Here, in addition to the flexibility of remote work, I feel the value of real face-to-face interactions, which is fun and makes the workdays extremely varied and entertaining!"

"When I started as a Junior Consultant three years ago, my daily work routine was heavily focused on learning. Every day, I familiarized myself with new processes and systems and delved into complex topics. Research tasks and the creation of presentations were also part of my responsibilities – some of which we still use today. On my first project, I began in a supporting role but was gradually able to take on responsibilities independently. Today, as a Senior Consultant, I am the primary point of contact for this client.

The time spent in the office was especially valuable for building relationships with colleagues who supported my professional and personal growth. Working on-site with clients and remotely also provided me with invaluable experiences. Looking back, my time as a Junior Consultant was intense – I couldn’t always keep up with the more experienced colleagues. But every challenge helped me progress and laid the foundation for my current career path."

‍"My workday starts with jotting down a crisp to-do list – always a great way to stay on top of things! As a working student, I support the team in many exciting areas, both internally and externally, constantly learning something new in the process. Then it’s straight to work – though not without a bit of small talk with colleagues. The highlight of the day? Definitely the lunch break, where we talk about anything and everything, whether it makes sense or not.

On days when I focus on my studies, I seamlessly juggle between lectures and work – flexibility makes it possible! My student life takes priority, which also means embracing spontaneity: snapping up cheap flights, opening my laptop by the pool in Rhodes, or at a café in Valencia.
Flexible working makes it all possible!"
