About me

Dr. Jorg Demmel

My name is Dr. Jorg Demmel, a German Mechanical Engineer with a background in Technical Management and an Engineering Doctorate. With over 30 years of experience at the highest levels of industry, including leadership roles at Volkswagen and the Fraunhofer Society, the world’s leading institution for applied research.
I now focus my work on helping companies around the world solve their toughest quality challenges.

Since 2018, I’ve been based in Sarasota, Florida, where I founded 2020 The Golden Cycle.

My Passion

Solving Problems Others Couldn’t

 

Throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to one thing: solving complex, recurring quality and technology problems – sustainably.

At Fraunhofer, we were often brought in as independent experts, unburdened by routine thinking, to tackle issues others couldn't resolve.

At Volkswagen, I led some Planning, Quality Assurance, and Quality Analysis teams. Eventually, I led the troubleshooting team for the central chassis plant – a role that required deep technical insight and practical leadership on the shop floor.

Here, I developed The Golden Cycle – a structured, hands-on approach to eliminating failures directly where they occur, while empowering teams and creating lasting change.

My Mission

Now, I bring this experience to organizations like yours, Solving Problems with The Golden Cycle:

- To help you solve quality problems at their root,

- To introduce effective tools that actually work in practice,

- And to build a culture of continuous improvement that sticks.

 

Furthermore, I am here to help with:
