Corporate history

Founder Andreas Gailus, born in 1977, flirted with the idea of founding Sports Update after the turn of the millennium, tried it out and finally received funding through the Exist Seed Programme to get this start-up based at the University of Münster off the ground.

The aim and idea of Sports Update were very similar to what the specialist and process consultancy Gailus.org does, because it was about transferring expertise into operational practice, building teams and triggering a kind of movement and setting towards the better.

At the time of Sports Update, this was still very much an individual approach, the self-competent, health-oriented life, but a little later the context and the view of the setting and life of and in an organisation grew. The years as an employed specialist and process consultant brought me into contact with the classic BGM filed, including areas such as the company’s first absenteeism report and employee survey and innovative developments such as the health workshop and the like.

Around 2010, Andreas Gailus remembeed hearing the name Josef Beuys as a child and looking at him with wonder and interest.

Many years later, Beuys and experiences from Movements and Momentums projects, inspired the change of settings and the desire to start up again and return to designing programms – the project and process consultancy Gailus.org was born in his mind.

After careful consideration, including “Where should the whole thing go?”, things got underway: on 30 June 2012, the company was officially founded, day 1 of the company. Some old customers from the former employer continued to stay.
