We listen. We inspire. We tell stories. We act. We shape. We motivate. We question. We document. We visualize. We electrify. We inspire and succeed together. In short: We do.
Company
About us
We empower you to work with the future. Our ideas show organizations how to deal with terms like weak signals, trends or white spots, and at the same time energizing to position themselves. We like discussing new developments and trends, with their respective effects on the organization, in order to design frameworks for actions and strenghten the matching future-attitude and accompanying measures.
With all the results, there is further potential in the future reach.
Our focus is not constantly on new trends, but on the awareness for change and the ability to recognize, interpret, accept and react appropriately to relevant changes. Schaltzeit trains the organizational DNA to deal with a change, to build an independent future agility that is anchored in the corporate culture and leads to resilience. Technical tools are used only carefully. Schaltzeit's primary aim is to set impulses, broaden perspectives and stimulate enthusiasm for shaping the future.
Bei Schaltzeit entscheiden wir im Team, welche Produkte oder Services wir anbieten möchten. Das Entscheidende ist, dass wir Lust haben zu gestalten.

Team
Our identity
Our team is international and represented in all age groups. We create friction – also among ourselves. What unites us is the passion to work on content. We prefer to leave the buzzwording to others.
We are clear, fast and binding. We hope to grow through trust and common touchpoints. We act with our own opinion even without a mandate – but we can also reset them. We are deeply rooted and operate in networks. The specialization of our partners reduces complexity and ensure the probability of success.
We prefer to work in the background. We empower, encourage and stimulate thoughts and discourse. Participation by the client increases the scope of possibilities and creates acceptance.
Netzwerke
That’s what friends are for…
Over years of working together, customers, colleagues and work partners become extended family members. Because the goals match, because the chemistry is right, because the expertise complement each other. This is how a network grows, in which we not only feel comfortable, but in which we see ourselves (virtually) up to any challenge.
Advanced Foresight Group
Great brains. The Advanced Foresight Group was co-founded by Schaltzeit. Our competent partners in the field of extended and applied research.
cisLogic
Schaltzeit's reliable main partner in the field of software development. Joint development of the innovation and trend scouting platform PEACOQ for years. On a side note: cis is Latin and means: on this side.
Codeheroes
Programmers with heart and brain. Always involved in PEACOQ projects, as well as in some of Schaltzeits technically more demanding projects (e.g. networking apps).

Rational live streaming company with precise understanding of customer needs. Has, among many other things, given the faithful of Germany's largest Catholic community access to worship services during a global pandemic.
DKNXT
They provide daily proof that illustration is to be understood more as a separate language than as an illustration. Can also implement the boring design orders in such a way that the boredom of looking at them disappears.
