Disruption by design: Christian Flaccus, Celonis
“I don’t need much sleep. And I love to take on a good challenge.”
Take one look at Christian Flaccus’ resumé, and it’s clear to see that both of these things are very true indeed.
He founded his first business, an e-commerce startup, in 1997 - then swiftly went and set up his own agency (whilst still remaining on his startup’s board). Not content with that, at various points during his agency life Christian also started a record label (Brave & Dizzy Records), opened (and closed) one of the first global street art online shops, and co-founded an incubator and house for dedicated dev teams for cloud-based SaaS projects called co.brick.
Brave & Dizzy and co.brick are still Christian’s side-hustles. But since early 2021, his main focus has been spearheading brand design excellence at Celonis - Germany’s most valuable startup, and a pioneer in the hugely exciting and fast-growing field of process mining technology.
As the company’s Chief Design Officer, Christian has taken the Celonis brand on an epic journey of disruption. But voyages like this aren’t undertaken alone. Disruption is uncomfortable for some people, and downright scary for others. So how do you bring everyone along on the journey, in ways that don’t just help them to understand why the company needs a disruptive brand - but gets them to fully buy into it, so they carry the torch as well?
Join Dave and Christian as they go deep into why game-changing technology needs game-changing branding to match - and how to get your team to tune in and enjoy it in the same way that you enjoy crafting it.
