Why Choose Us

Core competence

Since 2005 the capacity development has been one of the key services delivered by GPM Consulting. We advise people and organizations on learning and change processes.

GPM Consulting supports people in acquiring specialist knowledge, skills and management expertise. We help organizations, public authorities and private businesses to optimize their organizational, managerial and production processes. And, of course, we advise governments on how to achieve objectives and implement nationwide change processes by incorporating them into legislation and strategies. The political and social framework plays a crucial role in ensuring reforms are effective and sustainable. Without an enabling environment, changes remain superficial and have no real impact in the medium term.

This all calls for capacities and experience in a wide variety of areas: governance, agriculture, economic development, trade and investments, environment, transport, infrastructure, energy, education and employment. But that in itself is not enough. Long-term impact can only be achieved if all activities and strategies are efficiently coordinated and stakeholders in all sectors are adequately consulted. If a country is to take charge of its own destiny in the long term, it must be able to organize complex processes and foster an enabling environment without external assistance. This involves developing the capacities of individuals, organizations and social institutions.

At GPM Consulting, capacity development is about strengthening partners and tapping potentials. This is the key to sustainable development.

Corporate Objectives

Nothing in this world is as certain as change. The management of change is a challenge that we at GPM Consulting are successfully committed to. Directing and shaping transformation processes is at the very core of our services.

Customer orientation

It is our goal to design and implement excellent tailor-made solutions for and together with our clients. Our criteria for performance and success are the quality of results and the lasting benefits achieved for our customers. We hereby earn and maintain both their trust and loyalty.

Staff commitment

Our firm`s most valuable asset is our people. We aim to create a working environment that combines performance-orientation with concern for the individual. Our work processes and culture enable staff members to find their individual balance between professional and private life.

Social responsibility

Our company constitutes an active part of society. One of our principle responsibilities towards society therefore lies in offering our staff members long-term professional and personal development prospects.

Professional and methodological competence

Interdisciplinary work is our day-to-day business. We draw on all fields of academia and knowledge that can inform and empower our efforts

Sustainability

Not size and growth, but the sustainability and viability of GPM Consulting is our goal.

The concurrent management of a diverse project portfolio at GPM Consulting requires reliable, clear and efficient management structures. In order to ensure high efficiency of all relevant working processes and their continuous improvement, GPM Consulting has adopted a process oriented quality management system (QMS). The QMS sets a framework which enables GPM Consulting‘s teams to act in an independent and self-responsible manner satisfying customers’ demands. 

PRINCIPLES

GPM Consulting`s principle of consultancy work is based on participation in order to manage social, organizational or individual change. Technical inputs are only one important component to facilitate development. To make it sustainable, it has to be based on people. Sustainable development therefore requires a people-oriented, participatory approach to management and consultancy.

Our teams of consultants therefore integrate varied, relevant skills – namely technical skills and the socio-economic and communication skills needed to facilitate and manage a process of change. One of our strengths lies in coordinating multi-disciplinary and multi-national teams to achieve synergy effects. An open toolbox including a broad range of techniques and methods supports the teams in their work. This enables them to provide the link between the top-down and bottom-up approaches to management.

Our core values enable us to maintain and enhance existing good practices while undertaking change. These principles constitute the foundation for our staff`s day-to-day decision-making.

We place great importance on maintaining close partnerships with our clients, consultancy partners and staff members. This emphasis on partnership is reflected in our company structure and culture.
The quest for excellence drives our cooperation with clients. We apply the highest performance and quality standards to our services and products – and to the people and processes involved in their delivery. We constantly question established concepts and further develop proven practices to achieve optimal results.
Our lively, fair and open communication enables much more than simply the exchange of information. We are constantly able to learn from difficulties by jointly addressing them in a timely fashion and through constructive dialogue. Our culture of communication encourages the solidarity and trust that is indispensable to mutual learning.
Successfully implementing change means delivering lasting results for our clients, target groups and partners. We not only advise our customers, but also support them in the implementation processes that follow their decisions. Honest and open relationships with our clients, partners and staff are the strategic foundation for our long-term success. Our ethical principles are laid down in our code of conduct. They provide us with a framework for action and enable us to achieve our goals while living our values. In this context we participate and support the Global Compact initiative of the United Nations.
