The days when one financial year resembled the next are definitely over.
Typical seasonal patterns no longer apply. After the COVID phase initially boosted and then revived the housing construction and modernization market, many other global events have since occurred:
The Russia-Ukraine War, the resulting changes in trade flows, the real estate bubble in China, enormous price increases in construction and land, temporarily higher interest rates, inaction due to poorly proactive policies, tariff increases, further announcements/threats from the USA, and much more...
In addition, there are technological developments, the most prominent of which is certainly artificial intelligence.
Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens, aptly made the following statement at CES 2026: "While the steam engine took about 60 years to fundamentally change society, electricity took about 30 years and computerization about 15 years."
Busch predicts that AI will transform global industry within 7 years or less.
And there are trends that have been evident for decades: Market consolidation is increasing, and sales practices that have been established for decades are being gradually undermined or ignored by existing and new market participants.
In this complex situation, recognizing what needs to be preserved and what needs to be developed/transformed through evolution is an enormous task for a company management, which may be neglected in the hectic and demanding daily business.
Here I can provide support through consulting and by serving on your supervisory or advisory board.
Services
Consulting, as well as the performance of advisory and supervisory board mandates, are consulting services that offer enormous potential when the methodological knowledge and understanding of market mechanisms on the one hand are combined with the client's deep operational knowledge on the other.
Both differ in terms of implementation time and possibly altitude, but my aim is to work with you to develop sustainable solutions for your company.
MY USP
Consultancy based on practical experience
Anyone who has ever engaged traditional management consultancies knows that a key focus of their work is gathering information from within the company and its key employees. To add an external perspective, they conduct expert interviews. Knowledge is collected and then combined to derive strategies and recommendations for action. The more experience a management consultancy has in a particular industry, the higher the likelihood of developing practical recommendations.
I come from the other side, so to speak: Over 30 years, I have gained valuable insights from various positions at leading industrial companies in the German and European market for building technology and civil engineering, developed strategic realignments with my teams, and successfully implemented them.
This wealth of experience is extremely valuable for significantly increasing the probability of success for strategies.
I bring with me the analytical skills for deriving strategies and recommendations for action, as well as a network of industry contacts and freelancers.
MY OFFER ...
as a supervisory or advisory board member
An external, unbiased perspective on a company is extremely valuable; anyone who has spent many years in a leadership role knows deep down that tunnel vision inevitably develops. Those who view supervisory and advisory boards not as a requirement or a mere formality, but as an opportunity, can derive enormous benefits for their company.
I support owners and shareholders as a sparring partner on equal terms in transformation and transition phases, strategic realignment and operating model changes, and currently hold mandates in start-ups and family businesses.
