"The BMW Group’s electronics division has always been driven by 100% reliability when it comes the perfection and punctuality of project launches. Having a chat over a coffee is not really on the agenda. It is obvious though, that network thinking and innovation go hand in hand. To win over a discerning community of this calibre, you have to show that an efficient and targeted knowledge transfer will take place. The pilot ‚GetConnected / Espresso Tandems’ in one leading department convinced participants to carry on and to widen the group of participants in order to find further suitable matching partners. I totally trust Chemistree and their professionalism and cooperative approach and look forward to working with them and launching new activities."

‚MentorMe is the biggest independent professional mentoring program for young women in Germany. We help female university students to successfully enter the job market and support young professionals to further their careers and climb the career ladder or support them during career changes. Chemistree was instrumental in raising the matching process to a professional level. Thanks to Chemistree, our matching process is now more cost efficient, quicker and of a much higher quality. Furthermore, working with Rosmarie Steininger was a real pleasure – she works efficiently and has a real feel for her clients’ needs.’

'Together with Chemistree, we at Deutsche Bahn used our mentoring program ment4u and matched apprentices as well as students of integrated degree programs with experienced DB employees. We were able to include personal interests, preferred topics, character traits and various other benchmarks in the algorithm of the matching process. It was remarkable how well the tandems got on from the very beginning.’

'This algorithm-based matching method corroborated by scientific research is an absolute must-have experience for every organisation willing to “think outside the box” and “break with the norm”. After this experience one questions conventional methods of putting teams together randomly without giving the chemistry, aptitude, drive and purpose of the various team members too much thought.

With the help of this tool we brought people together to collaborate in multidisciplinary project teams with multi-skilled, multi-generational and multicultural team members. On an equal footing senior managers, social entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and millennials are learning from each other how to succeed in an interconnected world.'

Leena Kelkar-Stephan, Programme Director, Strategic Leadership Development Programmes, BMW Group, June 2017

‘We bring people together to develop mutually beneficial solutions across cultural and sector boundaries. Fostering inspiring meetings and personal exchange are at the heart of everything we do. However, when there are more than 500 participants we soon reach our limits when it comes to encouraging personal connections. The matching tool allowed us to easily increase the possibilities for meetings during the event, to foster dialogue and connect people that would have probably never met otherwise.’

Ilka Hennet, Organiser, BMW Foundation, March 2017

‘Matching gave me with a wonderful opportunity to get to know inspiring people and meet just the right contacts.
I didn‘t even know beforehand that they could be right for me’.

‘BMW Group rad°hub is a high-profile exchange with hand-picked participants. Its aim is, in just one day, to bring about tangible and feasible innovations for the future of the BMW Group. In order to achieve this it is instrumental to bring the right people together and to foster a meaningful exchange quickly. We succeeded by using professional matching that not only took technical qualifications into account but first and foremost personality features. This formed the best possible basis for the groups to co-operate successfully and inspire each other.‘

'The matching tool helped us to automize many time-consuming tasks. It‘s individualised, quick and produces very good results. The evaluation proved this clearly.'

„I took part in the first Lehr:werkstatt year at the University Erlangen-Nuremburg. I couldn’t have wished for a better teacher mentoring me. In my opinion your matching tool is a great invention: I was matched with a teacher who is on the same wavelength and whom I see as a role model in teaching and beyond.“
