For the third time in a row, the renowned business magazine Forbes named the Staufen one of the “World’s Best Management Consulting Firms”. The award confirms the outstanding expertise of the management consultancy, which trims both family-owned mid-sized companies and international corporations for sustainable performance. Especially in times of global crisis and uncertainties, Staufen’s global presence and focus on operational excellence make it a strong partner for quickly solving current problems and preparing companies for the challenges of the future.
“While we certainly use the latest digital technologies, we don’t hide behind laptops and dashboards, but go every day to where change needs to be lived and implemented: in our customers’ offices and factories. Our primary goal is to optimize the entire value chain end-to-end. This approach is becoming increasingly important against the backdrop of growing competition, disruptive technologies and global multi-crises,” says Wilhelm Goschy, CEO of Staufen AG. “The renewed award from Forbes affirms our successful and sustainable approach. At the same time, it is an incentive for us to continue to find and successfully implement the most innovative and practical solutions for the benefit of our customers.”
The annual Forbes list awards outstanding consulting firms worldwide as part of an independent and comprehensive evaluation. Nicholas Phillips, head of Staufen’s rapidly growing US branch: “Thanks to its internationally recognized expertise in operational excellence, Staufen has already secured a permanent place on this important list, which is highly regarded not only in the USA but globally as an indicator of top consulting firms.”
Operational excellence ensures a significant increase in performance
In addition to the “World’s Best Management Consulting Firms 2024” seal of approval, Staufen was named “Best Management Consultant” (brand eins*/Statista) for the eleventh time in a row this year and was named Germany’s best lean management consultancy in the “Hidden Champions 2022/23” industry study by the “Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Management und Beratung (WGMB)”. Wirtschaftswoche** recently honored another project with the “Best of Consulting” award.
“However, the results of our consulting work are more important to us than trophies and awards. With our Staufen consultants, our clients implement groundbreaking future initiatives worldwide and create a culture of continuous improvement that enables employees to develop their full potential and companies to significantly enhancing their economic performance,” says Staufen CEO Goschy.
