Owner- and family-run companies are the heart of the economy - and not without reason. Nowhere else are entrepreneurial responsibility and risk so close together. For many other countries, Germany is a role model for how owner- and family-run companies can drive innovation and growth. But these companies will also face enormous transformation challenges in the coming years, driven by the need to manage fundamental economic and social change in organizations, the digitization of business models, but also by the need to ensure a resilient succession plan and a sustainable ownership structure.
With our "Entrepreneur Consulting" we are the ideal partner for the future transformation of owner-managed companies. We focus on the development of sustainable entrepreneurial models, the development of new sources of innovation and the safeguarding of the company's existence.
In these fields of action, we combine our excellence in corporate management, technology and human resources management with our intelligently structured transformation approach, which combines cultural and structural elements in the change process.
Our Approach: Objective consulting on eye level
On the one hand, our customers appreciate our deep understanding of their business models, our business judgment and our pragmatic implementation. They place particular trust in us in this sensitive area because, in their eyes, we understand the value of an entrepreneurial and substance-oriented management philosophy and also live it ourselves. Our experienced employees are personalities with courage and attitude. They are independent and have a clear and well-founded point of view.
