viadoo @ Aerospace Industry

Since 2004, we have been a highly qualified strategic partner for system houses (OEMs), suppliers, and joint ventures in the security and defense industry (SVI) as well as the aerospace industry. Twenty years of operational experience in project and people management, profound technical know-how, and methodological expertise make us a competent and reliable partner. We are fascinated by the fact that this is one of the most innovative and, at the same time, one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world. Our viadoo Change Guides have everything you need: mission experience, operational know-how, EASA certifications, and methodological skills. They are also familiar with market challenges such as these:

  • Digital transformation, including artificial intelligence, smart factories, digital twins, and predictive maintenance
  • Short innovation cycles to enhance safety and comfort
  • Fast time-to-market to remain competitive
  • Stable supply chains in a geopolitically unstable environment
  • Decarbonization for greater sustainability
  • Shortage and migration of skilled workers
  • “Future / Advanced Air Mobility” with new players such as eVTOL providers and venture capitalists
  • Private rocket launch providers (e.g., SpaceX), commercial operators of satellites or entire space stations

How we support the Aerospace Industry

  • Change Mgt in Safety Management

    EASA Part-21 Design and Production organizations as well as EASA Part-145 Maintenance organizations must implement and operate a robust Safety Management System (SMS). And EASA recommends to use Change Management tools to do so. But EASA, LuftVG, LBA, LufABw or DEMAR regulations wouldn’t give any further details. That is why Accountables, Safety Managers, SRB / SAG members in the aerospace industry trust the Change Management and Change Communications expertise of viadoo Change Guides.

  • Digital Transformation

    The aerospace industry is an early adopter of artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins, and other technologies. However, the desired benefits of digital tools only materialize when companies actively involve their employees in relevant decisions, alleviate their fears of losing their jobs or becoming obsolete, and establish a culture of cross-departmental cooperation. When it comes to deal with these human dynamics, organizations in the aerospace industry rely on viadoo Change Guides. We plan systematically, develop concepts, and implement them actively and agilely.

  • Post Merger Integration (PMI)

    The consolidation of the aerospace industry in Europe started over 25 years ago and is still going on. But the expected synergies of M&A can only be realized if employees are kept informed in a transparent way and actively partizipate in the integration. This requires communication, social psychology, and other disciplines. That is precisely why companies in the aerospace industry trust the expertise of viadoo Change Guides for the strategic planning and successful management of their Post Merger Integration.

  • Transformation Communications

    Even large corporations in the aerospace industry need temporary external support for their internal change communication. They then use the expertise of viadoo Change Guides to jointly develop and implement the change communications strategy for managers and employees. In such cases, we are responsible for creating the change narrative and prepare internal dialogue formats. In addition, we act as an interface to internal function holders such as heads of transformation, heads of change management, and heads of internal communications.
