BUSINESS CONSULTING

I have worked in communications (marketing, PR and Public Affairs) and business development for large cooperations, SMEs, public sector and as an entrepreneur.  I can offer you a broad senior management background, creativity, versatility, results orientation and speed. I do not aspire to replace an agency or consultancy, but to be your Swiss tool knife for projects which require creative solution finding or strong general management skills to deal with complexity.

1

Business strategy

I can develop a custom solution for your business challenge which combines analytics, creativity and simplicity, using the Amazon data-driven “working backwards” approach:

  • Gaps analysis: Assess your business and identify gaps, inefficiencies and improvement opportunities

  • Ideation: Development of creative solutions for your business challenge

  • Conceptualization: Translation of your idea into a viable concept with goals, KPIs, options, risks, costs and a project plan

  • Validation: Review of your concepts to make them better

  • Partnerships: Establishing partnerships with private or public sector

2

Communications strategy

I can develop strategies and tools to improve customer, media or policymaker reach:

  • Development of a marketing strategy to grow sales or improve retention

  • Development of a PR strategy to inform or improve reputation

  • Development of a political communications strategy to educate, build reputation or advocate for your agenda among political audiences

  • Development of communications tools, including research (surveys, focus groups, reports), narrative development as well as digital and physical communications assets

3

Project management

I can develop and manage projects or programmes that require the ability to manage complexity, make senior management decisions or entrepreneurial acumen:

  • Development of projects, including goal-setting, establishment of project governance, budget management and tracking

  • Management of projects including complex team management and environments with decision-making ambiguity

  • Improving the productivity of your business through digitalization, content and knowledge management, process and approvals management, and trainings

How I work

Free sample work

For projects, I will provide a free intro call and concrete project proposal and mention relevant experiences before you start paying for my services.

Fast response

I will respond via email within a day. For urgent support needs, you can contact me on WhatsApp.

Optimized workspace

By default, I will work with you online, using online meetings, an online file sharing and document collaboration system, an online booking calendar, email and WhatsApp for emergencies. I will provide meeting invites, a file sharing system and a booking calendar to the client using Google tools or use the client’s tools if preferred.

Transparent documentation

I will provide project proposals and deliverables in an analytical document format, and project trackers via an online project management tool, unless other formats (PPT, Excel) are preferred by the client. I will provide all relevant project documents and meeting notes in a jointly accessible online drive in addition to email. All documents will have time stamped and version controlled naming to avoid ambiguities.

Continuous improvement

I will proactively seek feedback from project partners throughout the project as well as in a dedicated review session at the end of the project
