We have been officially recognized as the No. 1 consulting firm in the change management category for the 2026/2027 period. However, the detailed results of the Hidden Champion Award show that we offer much more than just expertise. In an age where change has become the norm, we have proven that the way you consult makes all the difference.

Why we are the first choice for decision-makers:

  • Top performance that pays off: We were recognized across all topics as the consulting firm offering the best value for money. Compared to other consulting firms, we offer the highest quality in optimal relation to the fees charged.
  • Real team players instead of lone experts: we are number one when it comes to teamwork. This means that our consultants work cooperatively and motivatingly with our clients' employees to find viable solutions together.
  • We speak our customers' language: communication is the key to success. As the top-ranked company in the field of "technical communication," we know how to speak the language of specialist departments—without resorting to unnecessary consultant buzzwords.

Working together for success

The fact that over 1,000 executives voted us to the top in these disciplines in an independent survey confirms that we are on the right track: change can only be achieved together.

We would like to thank our customers for their exceptional feedback and look forward to continuing to bring your projects to fruition in 2026 with professional expertise, team spirit, and maximum efficiency.
