History

In our understanding, participation is part of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Common Good and New Work. That is why RELEVANT has been contributing financially to the costs of childcare since 2022 and is providing inflation compensation.

Our new corporate identity and logo go live. Because the fingerprint we've grown fond of unfortunately doesn't "work" well on cell phones, we're replacing it with a simpler logo that also expresses the evolution of our service portfolio: We bridge the gap between data (squares) and people (circles) in organizations.

Paul Eisenblätter, Julia Rottwinkel, and Mira Ehrhardt join our team as three fantastic new colleagues, bringing with them a wealth of expertise and energy that will enrich our team. Additionally, we are delighted to see Sarah Weyhenmeyer in her new role with procuratory authority.

RELEVANT celebrates its fifth anniversary with a visit from Hogan USA. Sarah Weyhenmeyer, who wins over customers like no other, makes them happy and rolls up her sleeves to get involved, becomes a partner at RELEVANT.

Part of the third growth phase is further internationalization and closer cooperation with our neighbors ATC and Summit, with whom we cover the largest market economies in Europe. Next year we will represent Hogan Assessments in Paris at the huge HR tech conference Unleash.

RELEVANT cracks the revenue threshold of EUR 1,500,000 for the first time, ignites the third growth stage and hires three more colleagues. The psychologist Niels Frommeyer, M.Sc. will be responsible for the area of digital assessments. Next year, two more colleagues will join the team. Simone Jagniaszek will take over responsibility for the area of consulting.

RELEVANT starts sponsoring the PRISM Award of ICF Germany. This award for particularly high-quality coaching programs goes to CMS, Adidas, Vodafone, VW, SAP, and Bosch in the following years.

RELEVANT launches distribution of the Leadership Versatility Index, a 360° process for experienced managers and expands collaboration with other distributors.

Together with Odgers Berndtson, RELEVANT hosts the Jam Session "New Leadership? Authentic in turbulent times" with speakers such as Dr. Robert Hogan and Scott Gregory (President and CEO Hogan Assessments) and HR professionals and CEOs from Vodafone, Daimler, CMS, Beiersdorf and Fondsdepot Bank.

Sarah Weyhenmeyer, bank clerk with a B.Sc., joins the company and is responsible for client relations. RELEVANT is supported by several freelance consultants, interns, and working students.

Dr. Rene Kusch becomes a member of the exclusive Hogan Coaching Network, which jointly implements global development projects.

Dr. Rene Kusch publishes and (co-)publishes regularly, including at the GWPs symposium (2016): "Collaboration between Chinese and Germans: Success through the use of personality assessments", in Wirtschaftspychologie aktuell (2017): "Managers in the Driver's Seat: How Self-Directed Development Works" and in Business Psychology (2019): "Our Perspective on New Leadership: How Charismatic Leaders Can Develop Humility." or at the E-ATP symposium (2021): "When Artificial Intelligence Meets Personality Assessment in Leadership Recruitment."
