Corporation
Strategically effective companies act in a targeted manner and consciously deploy their impact in the market. Strategic knowledge and a strategy-adequate organization are key.
Consulting & Training
Strategically effective companies deploy a targeted impact in the market.
To achieve this a fundamental competence of the corporation and their executives in strategic topics is required. At the same time a functional organization is needed, which is able to implement strategies according to objectives. Only the harmonious interaction of all these factors enables a company to unfold its strategic effectiveness fully.
The consulting and training services of Management Counterparts offer support in this respect. Based on specifically conceptualized combinations of interventions, the solution of concrete problems is achieved. Simultaneously, there is also an increase in qualifications on the organizational and individual level obtained.
In such a way organizations as a whole as well as their executives become more strategically effective in the long term.
Effective cooperation and solution development – also in bigger groups – will become even more significant in the future.
Workshops
Management and board workshops
A shared understanding of the business challenges is the basis for developing effective strategies, which are supported by all.

Presentation of the 2. City-Marketing Award Bavaria
Münchner Staatskanzlei
In her speech Caroline Cerar highlighted the necessity of a clear positioning in the context of a successful city marketing and illustrated this with numerous examples from the germanic-speaking area. The marketing of cities and city centers takes place in a very challenging framework with several stakeholders. It is therefore the key to focus on a clear value proposition, in order to ensure a broad acceptance and support.
