An empirically grounded approach to winning under competition

2 helmets was developed in practice, not in the seminar room. The method is based on the systematic integration of theoretical foundations from logic, strategic thinking, pattern recognition, and martial arts with the reality of more than 800 concrete competitive situations.

These situations were not about models, but about decisions under pressure: win or lose, prevail or fail. 2 helmets is the practical method resulting from this work. It was designed for leaders who carry responsibility and must deliver impact.

Its effectiveness is not demonstrated in concepts, but in results. References and selected business outcomes provide insight.

Advisory work in strategically critical competitive situations

Today, I work as Vice President Competitive Strategy and Business Development at a DAX-listed technology company, where I am part of management’s decision architecture in critical competitive situations. In parallel, I work independently with 2 helmets Project Coaching and the 2 helmets Curriculum.

How 2 helmets is different

Not a traditional strategy consultancy

• No recommendations are handed over; decisions are driven to closure.
• Responsibility remains where it belongs: with leadership.
• 2 helmets does not work on organizational models, but on real decision-making and power dynamics.

Not coaching in the classical sense

• Reflection is not an end in itself; it serves decision-making.
• Open-ended processes without consequence are not part of the format.
• Those seeking orientation choose coaching. Those who must decide and enforce work with 2 helmets.

Not a training program

• No simulations or case studies.
• The learning environment is always the real project, the real negotiation, the real conflict.
• Impact is not created by preparing for leadership, but by exercising leadership itself.

2 helmets is an executive competitive intervention for leaders who do not facilitate decisions, but take responsibility for them.
