Teamworks

What Teamworks does

Teamworks GTQ Gesellschaft für Teamentwicklung und Qualifizierung mbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) specializing in team and organizational development, headquartered in Hamburg with additional training academies in Frankfurt and Kattendorf. The firm was co-founded by Svenja Hofert and Thorsten Visbal, who lead a systemic-integrative approach combining agile methodologies, group dynamics, and organizational psychology. The legal entity is registered as mbH i.L. (in liquidation), with Visbal listed as liquidator, a material signal regarding the company's continuity.

The company's core offering is TeamworksPLUS®, a certified multi-module training program in agile and systemically integrative team development and team coaching, delivered both in-person and through the TeamworksPLUS® Online Flex remote format. The portfolio expands through modular add-ons including Organisationsgestalter*in (organizational design) and Konfliktmoderator*in (conflict moderation), plus an open-enrollment seminar program covering topics such as cultural change, systemic leadership, conflict resolution, and the psychology of change. Inhouse offerings provide customized team development, process facilitation, and coaching services for enterprise clients including TRUMPF and a UK Airport Group. The firm also markets digital tools (Teamworks Tools, TeamworksMINIS), educational games including the Kulturwandelspiel, and content assets such as the monthly newsletter, free webinars, a research compilation (Teamstudien), and books authored by the founders.

Commercially, Teamworks operates a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market with direct sales for inhouse programs and website/email/phone registration for open seminars; a free consultation serves as the lead entry point. Pricing is individually quoted (net of VAT) with no public price list, and cancellation policies include tiered fees up to 100% of the program fee. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services — certified training, open seminars, customized inhouse work, and coaching — with freemium content (newsletter, free webinars) used to drive paid enrollment. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or external investors are disclosed; the firm operates without disclosed institutional capital.
