Wie kann man sich als Berater auf Innovationen, schnelllebige Trends und veränderte Kundenerwartungen vorbereiten, wenn man gerade keine Glaskugel zur Hand hat?

Andreas Mitter, Partner bei BearingPoint Österreich, ist sich sicher, dass Aussitzen keine Lösung ist. In dieser Folge des LEADERS IN CONSULTING Podcast spricht er mit unserem Host Sammy Gebele über die Gefahr, damit den Zug einer zukunftsfähigen Organisationsentwicklung zu verpassen.

Stattdessen hat er gleich mehrere Ideen, wie sich Beratungsunternehmen an ein immer dynamisches Umfeld anpassen können, um weiterhin relevant zu bleiben und das Verhältnis zur neuen und bestehenden Kundschaft zu stärken. Netzwerkveranstaltungen, Experimentierfreudigkeit und ein breites Leistungsportfolio im Stil eines One-Stop-Shops sind dabei nur einige Stichworte.       


Dich erwartet spannender Input zu folgenden Themen:

1. Learnings aus 18 Jahren als Partner bei BearingPoint

2. Nachhaltige Kundengewinnung durch die Veranstaltung von Meetups und Konferenzen

3. Wie Aufklärungsworkshops das Neukundengeschäft erfolgreicher gestalten können

4. Welche Risiken und Chancen AI für die Beratungsbranche mit sich bringt

5. Die richtige Mehrwertkommunikation bei wandelnden Kundenanforderungen
