"They were always very responsive, punctual, and following up every call with a recap and supplementary materials. All of this helped us to finally stop postponing these strategic improvements and implement them. Within the agreed collaboration time and format (4 online calls over 5 weeks), they were willing to advise on things beyond the original scope, such as the customer value proposition.

It really helped that we share the same values, hands-on approach to operational management and love for structure. This helped us create real synergy, and the communication was notably pleasant as well."
