How do organizations remain successful? With a clear strategy, a motivated team and visionary management that convinces its stakeholders and navigates safely in a dynamic environment. Transparency, effective processes and the involvement of all relevant stakeholders play a key role in this.
Across several hundred projects, we have worked with our clients to develop strategies that inspire stakeholders, enable transformation and create sustainable value. Whether to motivate employees, attract customers or investors, for start-up financing or IPOs, for positioning on the capital market before and after the IPO.
We are an interdisciplinary team of consultants and experts with a top-class network that together cover a wide range of topics – from strategy development and change management to AI implementation.
Ever since one of my professors in the UK put a couple of stacks of pitch decks on our table with the task of choosing from each one the company we would invest in, I've been in investor relations enthusiast. After my MBA and shortly before the German stock market boom, I joined the investor relations boutique Kirchhoff Consult, first as a consultant, then as COO, to help build up the IPO business and company from 6 to 60 employees at 4 locations. In addition to numerous IR projects (e.g. for Allianz, Altana, Audi, Axel Springer, Bayer, DaimlerChrysler, Dürr and Merck), I advised 16 executive boards personally and many more as a supervisor on their going public (e.g. Epcos, Ludwig Beck, Tomorrow Internet and Genmab). In 2003 I founded Impacct. I am a Designing Your Life Certified Coach (Stanford) and a systemic organizational developer. As a business angel and mentor, I support start-ups, including for Airbus BizLab, the Next Commerce Accelerator and the international cross cultural program Ouissal.

»Heidrun‘s story workshop and the work we did with her led to a major breakthrough for us: how we think about our product and how we tell the story – and on a very deep level, it just clicked! Ultimately, we owe our success with the German Accelerator and the fact that we were accepted there to her workshop: she got the ball rolling for us – in retrospect, that was one of the highlights of the AI Accelerator for us.« Sofia Gertzen, Co-founder flowshare
»Our long-standing business relationship with Impacct proves how extremely satisfied we are with Heidrun Twesten and her team: High professional competence, a proactive approach and flexibility paired with stress resistance and great reliability have always been among Impacct's most valuable assets. Also on the personal level, the cooperation with all »Impaccters« has always been a pleasure – from our point of view a basic requirement for successful common projects. Not only are we ourselves always highly satisfied with the results – such as our annual reports – in the end, but we also regularly receive very positive feedback from our shareholders.«
