Which companies in Kiel do we work for?

Our consulting is not tied to any one industry. Our clients include medium-sized companies, especially family businesses, municipal utilities and listed international groups.

In Kiel, the family business Friedrich Niemann GmbH & Co. KG is one of our clients, and in Schönkirchen near Kiel, Howmedica GmbH. Other clients in Schleswig-Holstein are based in Lübeck and Reinbek.

Succession and generational change in family businesses

Many family businesses face the handover to the next generation. We address three questions together that are often handled separately: the family's expectations, future leadership roles and the strategic direction of the company.

The case study of an automotive retail group shows what this can look like: management was handed over two years after the process began, together with a new vision of the future.

How do we work with companies in Kiel?

It starts with an initial conversation about your situation. After that we work on site with you: in interviews, workshops and leadership retreats.

We address the subject matter, the collaboration of those involved and the sequence over time together from the outset. We call this the third mode of consulting: expertise combined with social and process competence.

For companies in Kiel, this covers organisational development, change management, strategy and succession.
