Company
History
GPM Consulting is an independent 100% privately owned company operating within the intersection of public and private sectors. The company was established by a group of experts with the goal of providing a broad range of professional consultancy support to governments and the private sector to reach their goals.
As a multi-cultural company, our services focus on international development and include monitoring and evaluation, capacity and organizational development, technical assistance, policy advice, development of management guidelines at policy, programme and project level, and studies, surveys and analyses – all services covering a broad variety of sectors and themes. Through the years the initially small group of enthusiasts today counts over 20.000 high profiled local and international experts with extensive professional experience in the areas of our interest. Since its establishment in 2005, GPM Consulting has successfully implemented over 100 international projects, and can rely on partner organizations in numerous countries worldwide.

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