The short version
Twenty years of watching good plans stall.
Dominik worked across most of the layers this work touches: writing software, shaping architecture, running infrastructure, and managing the projects and products that had to actually land. Twenty years of it, at two companies: Amgen, then thirteen years at Boehringer Ingelheim, where change had to survive real regulatory, technical and human constraints — not slideware constraints. There he led digital transformation, built the teams to do it, delivered dozens of initiatives, and was handed the mission-critical ones that had gone wrong. Staying that long meant living with the consequences of his own decisions — orgs, architecture, plans, vendors. Most consultants never have to. It is why we stay through delivery. Decisions made during planning and execution have consequences for years. He was still there for his.
The pattern he kept seeing was not a shortage of good ideas. It was the gap between the plan and the doing. A strategy engagement ends, the consultants leave, and the people who now have to execute it are the same people who were already fully booked. Six months later the initiative is quietly dead and nobody wants to be the one to say it.
Tansfom exists to close that gap. We take on the plan and the delivery, in the same engagement, and we stay until your team can run it without us. That is why Tansfom stays small: the people who tell you what to do should be the people who then have to do it.
It also means being honest about capacity — there is a hard limit to what a small firm takes on at once. If we are not the right fit for what you need, saying so on the first call costs us both thirty minutes instead of two quarters.
Why “Tansfom”
“Take some letters out.”
I wanted a .com with “transformation” in it. Every version of that name was taken, as you would expect. My daughter, ten at the time, listened to me complain about it and suggested I just take some letters out of the word.
What was left was Tansfom. It was available, it was short, and it came from the most direct problem-solver in the house. That is roughly the standard I try to hold the work to.
Who this is for
Leaders who have to make the change land themselves.
Operators without a transformation office
IT and business leaders at companies that cannot justify staffing a full transformation office — but still have to deliver the change.
Mid-market and growing firms
The processes that carried you to this size are now the constraint, and the team is too busy running the business to redesign it.
Enterprise leaders who want a trusted advisor
You have plenty of vendors. What you are short of is a firm with no stake in the vendor’s answer that will give you a straight answer.
If you already have a transformation office, a program management group and three consultancies on retainer, you probably do not need a fourth voice. If you have the mandate but not the machinery, that is exactly the gap this fills.
What that looks like as work
Five ways people bring us in.
- Just get it doneA live initiative and no one who can own it end to end.
- Help me growYou have a PM who has never been shown how to run something this size.
- Bring it back on trackLate, political, or both.
- StrategyNo live initiative — only firefighting.
- AdvisorYou have already seen the work and want a translator in the room.
Not sure which of these you are? That is a normal reason to call.
How we work
Five things you can hold us to.
People-centric
Processes are run by people. If the people doing the work are not in the room, the plan is fiction.
Technology-agnostic
The tool gets chosen after the problem is understood, never before. We have no stake in which vendor wins.
No upselling
The engagement ends when the work is handed over. If you do not need the next phase, we will say so.
Straight answers
Including the unwelcome ones: this initiative should stop, this vendor is wrong, this date is not real.
Built for distributed teams
Most of the programs we have run spanned time zones and continents. That changes the mechanics: decisions get written down rather than settled in a corridor, and the cadence cannot quietly exclude whoever is asleep.
Now you know who you would be hiring.
No sales engineer, no discovery process, no deck. You describe the situation, we tell you what we would do about it.
You leave with three places work is stuck, one move for the next 30 days, and a one-page note the same day.
