The strategy advisory who
is specialized in market-innovations.
We develop unique solutions—whether you’re a global corporation or a startup. Your common ground: You are not looking for a generalist. Rather, you require specialists who can develop (highly successful) market strategies. With a system that is unmatched by any in the world...at least that’s what our customers say.
And by the reason that the THOMSEN GROUP International Strategy Consultants, short form: TGISC, is not a general consultancy, it works all more different. A good example: Strategy and consultancy are two different departments. After all, we attend our clients many years and prove the results of our strategies of all 5P in the practice too.
Use our special competence in all important branches and topics. More than 25 years of experience have proven to us that the view through the eyes of potential or existing clients often refutes experience. Our following references from all important industries is therefore based without exception on the future-secured 5P system.
No, that reminds us too much of the “customer is king” cliché. Patients? No, that sounds too unhealthy, even though the Hyppocratic oath’s demand for confidentiality between doctor and patient comes pretty close to our demand for responsibility and confidentiality. So we call the companies we work for our “clients”. This term, which is frequently used by lawyers, reminds us that although business consultants usually don’t have the same legal obligation to uphold an attorney-client privilege, we hold ourselves to a higher standard and will always maintain the highest level of professional secrecy.
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! (By the way: The THOMSEN GROUP welcomes mistakes. Find out more)
We offer our employees benefits far beyond what’s typical for our branch, including training and continuing education at our own college, as well as our HealthyFun employee program.
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! In many projects, we have to consider the forward-looking concepts of social, ecological, and corporate responsibility. And while these concepts were gaining in significance elsewhere, the THOMSEN GROUP had already made them part of their culture.Our earth’s resources, for example, are after all limited. But big ideas are often preceded by small actions. One example—we were using both sides of the paper already a year before the former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, who represents the Green Party, became the Minister of the Environment in the German state of Hessen.
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. The colleagues at the TGISC® are cosmopolitan with varied interests and are dedicated. Most have a “never-say-never” attitude written all over their face. It’s their enjoyment of their jobs that allow us to achieve so much for our clients. Okay, sometimes things get really hairy here. But all what we accomplish isn’t only bringing us fun. But also it makes us proud. And by the reason that many of us have children, not only us...
