With our integrated understanding of Operational Excellence and Performance Improvement we set the proper accents that are also reported positively in the P&L”, explains Wilhelm Goschy, CEO of Staufen AG. Organizations have been faced with so many unforeseeable challenges over the past few years. Time and again, though, we have seen that “If you can step out of your comfort zone and work on tackling your entrepreneurial challenges, you can strengthen your business and your employees in the face of increasing competition. So don’t sit problems out, tackle them: choose operational excellence over “German Angst”.

The deciding factors in the brand-eins consultant ranking are not sales or number of employees, but rather the quality ratings by clients, industry insiders and other consulting firms. To this end, close to 6,900 experts and consultants and more than 1,500 executives from organizations of all size categories were asked for their assessment. Staufen CEO Goschy: “We are really pleased that we have once again been able to impress decision-makers in the business world with our work. Receiving confirmation of our leadership position demonstrates that our customers always receive real added value from us and that we are always able to unlock hidden potential in their organizations.”

Staufen was able to retain its award from the previous year. Additional awards were received for the areas “Coaching” and “Strategy Development”. Wilhelm Goschy underlines the significance of this comprehensive approach: “The broad spectrum underscores the scope that consulting companies are asked to cover today. No longer is it sufficient to be brilliant in individual disciplines. These days, organizations have to be able to successfully manage and optimize complex networks. This requires not only thinking outside the box, but also professional data analysis, proven tools from the lean toolbox and an understanding of financial performance.”
