Why us?

For us, the client’s interests, not those of TGISC®, take center stage: we keep our focus on the long-term. We can assure our own future only by ensuring the success of our clients. Never by making the quick and easy sale.
And this is one point where we absolutely refuse to compromise. For example, recently we turned down a million-dollar contract in southern Europe because our work would be based on unfounded directives rather than on validated methodologies. A first-class solution is always more important to us than a first-class fee. Not that we turn up our noses at the latter. But given the choice, we always choose the better solution. This is probably a very good example of what “dignity” means to the THOMSEN GROUP.

And by the way, it’s one of the character traits held in esteem by the citizens of Hamburg.

A second point where we refuse to compromise is motivation. Our motivation allows us to present better solutions than other strategy consultants every single day. It’s the glue that holds us together. It’s our life blood. Anyone who works against it, anyone who lessens our motivation, anyone who throws a monkey wrench into the works, that person has seen their last day with us. Sound brutal? The first time you speak with your new colleagues, you will understand why not only our clients, but also our employees stay with us longer than anywhere else. We won’t allow anyone to dampen our spirit!

The THOMSEN GROUP doesn’t put limits on personal development. We don’t find the story of the dishwasher who becomes a member of the board corny, we think it’s terrific. Of course we value a qualified education very highly. But where you went to school is less important to us than what you achieve. At TGISC®, you have a chance even if your career doesn’t follow the standard path. It’s not without reason that two members of the THOMSEN GROUP board are active on the Scholarship for Exceptional Talent in the Federal Republic of Germany, offered under the patronage of the German Federal President. We also make every effort to identify special talent. But of course that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t value your international credentials.

You could hardly ask for a wider variety of challenging activities. Which turns our job into a lifetime of fascination.

And then there are the small things: The penthouse offices nestled under the rooftops of Hamburg, the perfect traffic connections, the innumerable parking places (for both cars and bicycles), the quality of break-times spent in the immediate vicinity, where we find ourselves even more inspired by the multicultural public. Which is probably why any thought blockages usually fall victim to a virtual wrecking ball within a week at TGISC®. Welcome to the open-minded company!

Although it’s almost impossible to describe how much fun our job is (and by that we don’t mean our HealthyFun), we’re going to try anyway:
For example, just for fun, the day before we present an innovative product development, we google our new product, and we get no hits. Logical. But the very next day, there are more than 3,000 hits!
Or another example...The CEO of a large corporation in Germany had searched unsuccessfully for a solution for an entire year. After only a few short months, the THOMSEN GROUP presented the answer, and that solution exceeded all expectations just one year later. And that’s only a small taste of the innumerable examples TGISC® has to offer, all of which makes us very proud.
