For many clients, working with undconsorten does not feel like traditional counselling, but rather like working with an extended team of their own. We consciously approach our collaboration as equals - with a genuine interest in the context, a high degree of reliability and the aspiration to take joint responsibility for results. The following testimonials provide an insight into these experiences. Not as a standardised service, but as joint work on specific issues and their implementation.
These voices have an origin.
The quotes on this page are taken from an independent scientific survey: the WGMB study "Hidden Champions of the Consulting Market 2026/27", published by the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Management und Beratung (WGMB) in Bonn. The WGMB has been presenting the Hidden Champions Award since 2003 - it is the oldest award for consulting companies in the German-speaking world.
For the study, 41 managers were interviewed who had concrete project experience with undconsorten - anonymously, independently and without any influence on our part. They come from companies with an annual turnover of at least 500 million euros, from sectors such as financial services, mechanical engineering, consumer goods, healthcare and energy. Among them: Board members, budget managers and project managers.
The result: undconsorten was named Hidden Champion 2026/27 in the categories Leadership & Organisation (1st place) and Change Management (2nd place) - beating McKinsey, BCG and Bain in both disciplines.
