A Look Behind the Curtain: Q4 Meeting at hrdiamonds
At our Q4 meeting last week, we started things off a little differently this time: with a wimmelbild. As a mood check-in, each team member was allowed to choose a scene that embodied them that morning: a princess on a dragon, a rock band on a rooftop, a person in a manhole... perfect metaphors for how diverse our team can be at times.

After Work Wine Tasting
Last week, our dear colleague Martin Petter—consultant and sommelier—took us on a little journey through the world of wine. In a cozy setting, we tasted international wines from Spain to South Africa to Sicily. The tasting was accompanied by exciting insights, background knowledge, and even little “guessing games” that provided many “aha” moments (and a few laughs). For those who [...]

AI & Ethics – an Evening Full of Food for Thought
This week was all about artificial intelligence and ethics: Our client BINDER GRÖSSWANG hosted an exciting panel discussion with Sabine Köszegi, Erich Prem, and Ivo Rungg. Sabine has been closely connected with hrdiamonds for a long time, so there was no question that we wanted to be there despite having had an intense few weeks. It was a good decision: Rarely has a discussion on AI and ethics been as multifaceted, [...]

Q3 Meeting – in the Spirit of Connectedness
In the spirit of connectedness... After our summer retreat was already themed around “connectedness,” we wanted to consciously focus on our collaboration in our Q3 meeting and strengthen our sense of team spirit.

InnoHub 2025
„Everyone wants to be individual, but woe betide anyone who is different.“ This is precisely the tension we addressed last week at InnoHub. Two days that provided space for reflection, further development, pause for thought, and learning. Our focus this year: discrimination, racism, and strengthening civil courage. Together with the fantastic trainers from ZARA Training (civil courage and anti-racism work), we [...]
Two Days. One Team. No Laptops. No Emails. Full Attention for Each Other.
Our annual summer retreat is one of hrdiamonds' established rituals: the entire team puts away their laptops and cell phones for two days to focus entirely on ourselves, our relationships, and our organization. This year, we chose the beautiful Hochstrass retreat in the heart of nature – and spent two inspiring days under the motto [...]
