About us

We make change stick.

We are initio — a boutique organisational consultancy for strategy, culture, change and large-group formats.

Our clients

initio is an independent organisational consultancy with more than 30 senior consultants at 9 locations in Germany and Switzerland. Since 2004 we have been supporting mid-sized business, the public sector and non-profits through strategy, culture and change processes — repeatedly recognised as "Top Consultant" and "Beste Berater Deutschlands" (Best Consultants in Germany), with more than 90 reference projects.

The people

You work with the team — not with a name.

30 consultants, 9 locations, 5 partners, 2 managing directors. Whoever starts your project stays with it to the end, even across several years.

Documented, not claimed

Trust you can check.

That was a really great workshop, thank you.

Highly professional and motivating delivery — feedback from participants was positive throughout.

"We took away plenty of food for thought and look forward to reaping the fruits."

Where we stand

What we stand for.

Impact, not activity

We think in impact, not in hours. Every recommendation has to hold up in everyday work.

Patterns, not symptoms

Organisations are relationships. We work on patterns — and stay until they change.

People first

Methods without a relationship come to nothing. We build trust as the foundation for everything else.

Why initio

Nine reasons to work with us.

  • Senior consulting — you work with experienced people, not with junior teams.
  • Impact before activity — measurable change rather than death by PowerPoint.
  • Regionally rooted — 9 locations, short distances, genuine proximity.
Well-founded

We publish what we know.

Books and specialist articles by our consultants — substance rather than marketing.

Where we come from

Vision, mission & history.

Since 2004 we have guided organisations through change, in the conviction that strategy only works once culture and people come with it. A small Berlin consultancy has grown into more than 30 senior consultants across 9 locations.

In a free initial consultation we work out whether we are a good fit and what will actually move your organisation forward — and we guide the whole process.
