Company
We are economists, political scientists, communication experts – and experienced project managers. We advise on digitalization, sustainability, and urbanization – and how these forces create opportunities and progress. Our approach: bring ideas and people together to make great things happen.
Digital transformation
- Digitization is the disruptor of our time: It breaks down sectoral barriers and how value is created. It transforms how people interact and what they value; it impacts society and the political sphere. We help understand and harness the power of digitization for progress.
Sustainable development
- Sustainable strategies provide opportunities for companies, organizations, and customers alike. Sustainability also drives public discourse, customer behavior and regulation. We support our clients to navigate this transition and to interact successfully with their stakeholders.
Urbanization
- Today’s cities and megapolises carry more political heft and economic clout than ever. What today’s cities globally do matters globally. We help understand the impact of urbanization and work with cities to become greener, smarter and more livable.
Our approach
-
We believe in progress – the ideas, innovations, and initiatives which spur prosperity and social development. The success of these ideas relies on how various stakeholders, from consumers to lawmakers, understand and utilize such ideas. That is the human side of progress.
Expertise
We find the hidden triggers of and inhibitors to human action – data is our raw material for effective ideas and strategies. We further translate strategy into execution, because we stand by our clients and love to create lasting results.
Insights
Ask the right questions.
We take a deep dive into data to identify the right levers. We analyze your industry, draw comparisons from analogue markets, and interview stakeholders.
Progress map
- You tell us your plans and we will find out who will influence the success of those plans. We will produce an overview of the relevant stakeholders and players and point out what motivates and inhibits them.
Consumer focus report
- We help you to get a better understanding of your current and future customers. By conducting research and interviews, we identify the real drivers and barriers affecting consumer behavior.
Start-up landscape
- We conduct analysis on your behalf to find out which new companies are operating in your specific field of activity. This allows future competitors to be identified at an early stage and potential goals for cooperation partnerships or acquisitions to be ascertained.
Strategy
We are driven by ideas.
We develop a powerful strategy for your project, based on facts, the hidden triggers or inhibiting factors affecting human behavior and engaging ideas.
Setting and monitoring goals
- We work with you to set clear goals and success criteria. In doing so, we pay special attention to making sure that the results are quantifiable and the right hierarchy is in place
Developing concepts and planning measures
The innovative concepts and measures we devise on your behalf:
- Focus on human behavior and decision-making
- Are based on unique insights
- Take into account different perspectives
- Challenge conventional wisdom
Business planning
- We draw up the business plan for you. This details the amount of investment needed and the precise scheduling and performance planning and also serves as a basis for making decisions as the project progresses, allowing you to stay in control.
Implementation
Progress starts with yourself – and a little help.
We find the right approach and prepare managers, employees, and partners for change so that your strategy can be successfully implemented.
Skill development and change management
- We help your managers and employees to adopt new ways of thinking and accept change. Knowledge gaps are identified and we show you how to close them.
Process-related and organizational development
- At the same time, we help you to change processes and organizational structures so that you can achieve your goals. Critical processes and structures are identified, analyzed, and broken down. You will then be given specific recommendations on what action to take.
Network building and development
- We plan networking events to promote dialogue within your ecosystem and unlock new cooperation opportunities.
Execution
Results count.
We are focused on results, so we’d love to support you all the way to the end to guide your project to success.
Stakeholder dialogue
- We bring stakeholders from various areas together to promote dialogue and better understanding. We look for the most suitable communication format for your needs and set it up.
Communication advice
- We work with you to develop communication strategies and turn complex issues into effective messages – in words and pictures and in owned, earned, and paid media.
Single project management and project office
- We can manage your single project or act as a project office with responsibility for overseeing all service providers.
