Tanzhaus Zürich: Structural realignment
Reform and Ventu provided intensive coaching and methodically guided workshops to support
The project was realized as part of the «Transformation Projects» program of Covid financial aid, with the support of the Federal Office of Culture and the Culture Department of the Canton of Zurich.

The focus was on the development of the mission statement and guiding principles, as well as the redesign of roles, responsibilities, and processes. The goal was to make Tanzhaus more agile and resilient to meet the challenges of our time.
With the involvement of all stakeholders, a thorough situational analysis was conducted to determine the direction for the transformation.

Testimonials
«The transformation has moved mountains at Tanzhaus. As a team, we’ve been through thick and thin. We’ve learned a lot about ourselves, our team, and our operation. I mean, it has brought out the best and the worst in us and around us, and I look forward to nurturing and evolving the best while seeing the worst as a learning opportunity or letting it go. Our collaboration is changing. We communicate differently and understand our individual areas of responsibility. In terms of content, we’ve sharpened our profile and set new goals. Now we feel ready for the upcoming societal challenges! All of this would have been unthinkable without Reform and Ventu. Their thoughtful guidance and the clear structure of the workshops were invaluable. With Sarra and Selina, we can move mountains – with a lot of fun.»
Catja Loepfe, Managing director and artistic director, Tanzhaus Zürich
«Thanks to the coaching from Ventu and Reform, we have achieved an important goal of the transformation process: we have acquired new skills and fresh knowledge - individually and as a team. This, in turn, empowers us to do our work in a more future-oriented and targeted manner. Together, we have developed strategy and structure, grown as a team, and, thanks to the thoughtful guidance of Ventu and Reform, feel capable of steering Tanzhaus Zürich into the future together.»
