It is awarded based on a strict, scientific selection process under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Dietmar Fink and Bianka Knoblauch (Scientific Society for Management and Consulting).<\/p><p>Instead of theoretical concepts, the assessment focuses on practice: The foundation of our award is the direct feedback from our customers. Among other things, our measurable performance and our compatibility with the SME sector (Mittelstand) were evaluated. As an independent competition free from third-party interests, this seal provides us with objective proof of our consulting quality and gives our clients the confidence that they are choosing the right partner.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-767ef37 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"767ef37\" data-element_type=\"container\"
