Thomas Deger

We coach, train and stimulate leaders to take a fresh look at their business, and how to integrate Strategy Implementation with Operational Excellence in an extraordinary way. At the same time we transfer skills and methodologies into their organisations to ensure this impact is sustainable. In this process, People Engagement is the art of helping individuals understand how they can best contribute to their company’s objectives – so they want to perform at a consistently high level. Helping clients to successfully lead such transformations in performance and culture is something I am genuinely proud of.

Thomas joined Quest in 2005 as European Development Director with previous responsibilities in business development and delivery in both, international and German consulting companies. He has helped many clients successfully lead and implement Corporate Strategy Deployment, Company Transformation, Operational Excellence, Culture Change, People Engagement and Supply Chain Management programs on an international, regional and site basis across the Aerospace, Automotive, Chemical, CPG, Electronics, Engineering & Construction, FMCG, Food, Pharmaceutical, Pulp & Paper, and Specialty Chemical Industries in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Thomas also has substantial experience in training and coaching, on topics such as Leadership Development, Change Management, Lean Management, Balanced Scorecard, ROI Calculation Methodologies and the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model. He is well known as an international speaker and author on Supply Chain Management and Enterprise Operations Management.

One of his favourite quotations is “Organisations don’t transform, people do” (Richard Barrett, Richard Barrett & Associates). If you would like to develop your thoughts about this further, just contact him.

Thomas has degrees in Economics & Business Administration, and in Automotive & Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Applied Sciences in Munich, Germany.
