So the first thing he had to do was build trust, which he did in many face-to-face meetings. The other challenge arose from the specific customer structure of IT Services. Here, it was necessary to balance the different demands and interests of ISG itself and all external customers, and to raise employees&#8217; awareness accordingly.<\/p>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"  zw-cgb  halb-halb-block boxed default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n\n                  <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-12 image order-1  px-0\">\n            <span class=\"copyright-image\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"atreus_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/csm_robert_a_heiss_1a16404503.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/csm_robert_a_heiss_1a16404503.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/csm_robert_a_heiss_1a16404503-768x473.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/csm_robert_a_heiss_1a16404503-480x296.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" style=\"aspect-ratio:800\/493 !important\" title=\"atreus_\">          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"half-content has-padding col-lg-6 col-12 order-2 primary white-color small-headline\"><div class=\"inner-content parent-has-padding\"><h2 class=\" zw-cgb headline\">Robert A.
