The decision has been made: for the 2026/2027 period as well, we have officially been named the No. 1 consultancy in the change management category. That means we have held the top spot for the fifth time in a row – a confirmation of our work that we are delighted about.
When it comes to the quality of consulting services, a handful of highly specialized providers outperform the “Big Three” – McKinsey, BCG and Bain. That is exactly what the “Hidden Champions Award” confirms. For more than 20 years, the Scientific Society for Management and Consulting (WGMB) has presented this award together with the business magazine Capital to selected specialists. It is regarded as the oldest and most demanding quality seal for consultants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
An independent procedure instead of an application
The title “Hidden Champion” can neither be applied for nor bought. The preselection is made solely by an independent panel of experts. More than 1,000 executives then assess the competence of the consultancies in telephone interviews. The result of the current survey: business decision-makers attribute greater change management expertise to us than to the large market leaders and the most important specialist consultancies.
Our focus: shaping change successfully
In a world shaped by AI, digitalization and globalization, the ability to change increasingly determines success. That is exactly where we come in. For more than 30 years we have been supporting organizations in mastering transformations – regardless of how complex the assignment is.
Our approach ensures that leaders and employees do not merely understand change, but actively shape it. Our goal remains clear: to build successful organizations in which people enjoy their work.
We would like to take this award as an opportunity to say thank you: to our team for their tireless commitment and to our clients for their long-standing trust and the successful collaboration.
