We celebrate the 25th anniversary of IMPART GmbH

IMPART was founded in 1999 as a spin-off of the University of Osnabrück. The personality analyses EOS and TOP have been intensively researched since 1983 by Prof. Kuhl and his team. IMPART was founded to put personality analyses and the functional analytical approach and the development and change processes into practice and to test them there.

Since then, IMPART has continued to develop, and its products have found numerous enthusiastic users. Since January 1, 2008, Dr. Gudula Ritz, who holds a doctorate degree and studied under the auspices of Prof. J. Kuhl at the Department of Psychology, is Managing Director.

IMPART has grown continuously over the past ten years and has a network of long-standing customers (clients) in Germany and abroad: Counsellors, trainers, coaches and therapists. And IMPART continues to grow.

The IMPART Philosophy

Keep your finger on the pulse… we will help you get ahead.

The most important thing for us is development, which pertains both to us as a team and to each individual personally. Development also includes mistakes and detours. Slowing down and mindfulness are important to us in order to provide leisure and space for experimental learning and creativity.

The greatest possible autonomy and freedom for our employees and, of course, a lot of personal responsibility is the only way to make working together fun and sustainable.

In this respect, we deliberately do not serve the current trend, but are well on the way to the working world of the future, which will look quite different from the present. Ideas and connections are more important to us than the design of the packaging. We do not attach any importance to perfection for self-esteem, but for content innovation.
