III VISION

SETTING PEOPLE IN MOTION

This describes the VISION of 3LINES.

Movement means to recognise changes, to deduce conclusions and become purposefully active. This succeeds if all people involved are set in motion.

Our mission is to achieve this in the fields of STRATEGY, CULTURE and STRUCTURE. CONSULTING, TRAINING and COACHING are our tools.

III MISSION – Who are we? What do we want? What distinguishes us? What do we value?

3LINES is a national consulting, training and coaching company with an international focus, and geared around expansion.

We are Germany’s leading business in the field of strategic HR development. We combine our consistent emphasis on future market trends with an ongoing quest for improvement and the unconditional will to make companies and people more successful.

The people working for us passionately strive to further develop themselves and others, and find their own success in that of others.

Our economic independence enables honest, targeted dealings with our customers, and ensures us long-term success.

III CULTURE – That’s what we live!

These are the VALUES and RULES we follow. Acting in accordance with these values, and upholding these rules, is a key aspect for everyone working at 3LINES. We abide by these daily. We measure ourselves on them, and want to be measured on them.

Effort


I don’t have to, I want to.

Esteem

I recognise any performance.
I make sure that everyone feels welcome.
I talk with, and not badly about, others.

Development

I take responsibility.
I will constantly improve myself.

lll STRUCTURE – Our RESPONSIBILITIES and SKILLS

All 3LINES consultants always have at least two Responsibilities:

They bear account responsibility for their customers, and simultaneously work alone or together on the 3LINES customers’ consulting/training/coaching projects, as per their skills.

3LINES consultants have permanent employment contracts, undergo intensive and regular advanced training at the internal INTRA academy, and work only for 3 LINES and its customers.

This guarantees 3LINES customers the expected quality level, the possibility of representation, and a smooth collaboration in joint transnational or cross-hierarchical projects.

All employees initially undergo a multi-week individual development programme at INTRA. Following this initial training, each consultant undertakes further training twice a year for two weeks, is supervised on at least two occasions, and is regularly assessed in practice.

All 3LINES consultants have industry background, a university degree, and multiple years’ experience in management and/or intensive sales experience.
