Method of Work
Our method of work results from principles and experiences coming from many years of activity:
- Our consultants are mature university graduates with several years of experience in governments and/or industries, with skills in dealing with strategic and operational problems.
- Within each project, the client's problem is the focal point of our energies. Consultants are deployed to the project according to their accumulated experience in the relevant sector and necessary competence under knowledge of the respective local market.
- As far as possible on-site investigations are done worldwide, performed and supported by own subsidiaries, local co-operation partners and experienced specialised domestic subcontractors.
- User surveys are seen as important tool to analyse the demand in improvements of organisations and legislation and/or the satisfaction with the results of such measures.
- We use mostly own computer software as only this guarantees the best adaptation of approved methodology to the relevant project and the solution demands of the client. Among others, such data processing software serves the data collection and analysis of surveys, the setting up of prognoses and the simulation of development trends.
- Microeconomic evaluation of investments is done using Internal Interest Method and Capital Value Method. The available software is also used for break-event-point and cost-benefit analysis in order to compare economic impacts of different investment variants.
- All project recommendations take into account the present and the prognosed development of the macroeconomy and the market, scenario techniques and international development. Important impacts come from the development of legislation, international/ national/regional/local economies, as well as demands on environmental protection and the energy situation.
- A permanent know-how transfer is going on with Western and Eastern European universities and international organisations, among others from Paris (OECD), Brussels (COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION), Geneva (ECE) and Strasbourg (EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT) in order to continuously update the own know-how base in respect to the state of the art and to propose solutions which are harmonised with the development of international law and international/bilateral state agreements.
