About

When Canadian ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky was once asked about his recipe for success, he is said to have replied that he was not playing where the puck was, but where it was going to be next. He had obviously mastered the ability to sense and perceive the opportunities on the pitch that were just about to emerge.

A good hockey player plays where the puck is.
A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be. – Wayne Gretzky

This is exactly the challenge that Wolfgang Grilz sees organisations and the people who work in them constantly confronted with. And it is his mission to support them in this – in such a way that both the organisations can develop in the best possible way and the people who work in them can flourish.
