We make strategy a reality

Think. Feel. Act.

„The speed of implementation will become a competitive advantage in itself. Matthias Kolbusa shows how this competitive competence can be developed.“

Dr Michael Koppitz, Managing Director, Evonik Services GmbH

A synergy roadmap that takes advantage of market opportunities and looks to the future as well as keeping costs under control.“
Andreas Strausfeld, Managing Director, BITMARCK Holding GmbH

Hanns Georg Renz, Member of the Board of Directors, wsp deutschland AG

Dirk Salz, Head of IT Strategy, ITERGO Informationstechnologie GmbH

Sven Kowitzke, Member of the Board, S-KON Sales Kontor AG

„What is smart about "Smart Strategizing" is the mixture of standard strategy tools and cognitive science methods. Attractive strategies are thought through in such a way that everyone has the same “picture” in their mind at the end and knows exactly what the strategy involves. An extremely valuable experience.“

Gernot Sagl, former Member of the Board, Beta Systems Software AG
„EXECUTIVE helped us obtain a structured overview and generate transparency with regard to the content-related characteristics of our strategic plans. As a result, all concerned have gained much more confidence in decision-making and been able to develop a joint course of action.“
Stephan Swinka, CEO, TAKKO Holding GmbH
„Successful strategy and change work requires continuous scrutiny of the related issues. It is rare in this context to find a consultant who combines methodological and social competence with a clear entrepreneurial mind-set.

Damian Schmidt, former Chairman of the Board, STRATO AG
