CA Consulting
We help you to implement your projects and get you set for the future.
Especially in highly dynamic and volatile times, agile focused management control is the linchpin of business success.
9 good reasons why CA Consulting is the right partner to implement your projects.
With a tradition dating back to 1971, we are experts in management steering and controlling and always take a holistic view of your projects and the good of your organisation.

We are the experts for corporate management and controlling. With an objective view and eye for the big picture, we provide new ideas and stimulus for your company.
2. Experienced in all sectors
We have a wealth of experience across all sectors implementing countless projects from start-ups to blue-chip corporations and put together a team of experts based on your requirements.

4. Long-term success
We combine in-depth know-how with a keen eye for current and future developments to achieve future-focused results.
5. Employee involvement
We integrate various levels of hierarchy and organizational areas into the project and thus ensure the necessary communication, interaction and acceptance.
6. Fast and practical implementability
We pursue a hands-on approach, our concepts are designed to work in practice and not only in theory. We therefore support you in applying methods on the job so that you can quickly begin to make a difference with visible benefits for your company.
7. Comprehensive support
We support you from project conception to conclusion, encompassing aspects such as the necessary change process and upskilling of your employees with professional qualifications to show for it.
8. Cost under control
We do not expand or complicate projects unnecessarily, preferring to share our know-how and wean customers off any dependency on consultants.
9. One face to the customer
Each project is supervised by one CA partner and an experienced project manager based locally. They remain your contacts throughout the entire duration of the project. In this way, we ensure trusting cooperation and stability.

What form does a typical project launch take?
First of all, we obtain a clear picture of the current situation and then define the task ahead with you.
In close agreement, we jointly define the project aims, scope, project team and rough time schedule.
A project job is created for this purpose and is managed in-line with the project as a “live” document.
All other project steps are continuously coordinated and defined in line with agile project management.
We will be happy to advise you personally on your particular issue.
