What Implement Consulting Group AG does

Implement Consulting Group AG is a Scandinavian management consultancy headquartered in Hellerup, Denmark, operating as a partnership (P/S) under Danish law with more than 1,800 consultants. Founded in 2000, the firm delivers project-based consulting across two main expertise areas: Operations Consulting (supply chain management, digital supply chain, supply chain sustainability, procurement, and logistics) and Transformation Consulting (transformation programme management, business performance improvement, and agile organisations). Its delivery is underpinned by a set of proprietary methodologies — most notably the Implement TPM framework built on 30 years of transformation experience — alongside the Collaborative Consulting approach, a Procurement Maturity Model, a Warehouse Assessment Framework, and an Intelligent Automation Platform.

The firm sells bespoke, multi-year enterprise engagements directly to large organisations through Partner and Director-led sales cycles, with C-level engagement and trusted-advisor relationships central to the model. Primary verticals are Life Sciences/Healthcare, Retail/FMCG, Industrial Goods and Services, and the Service Sector, with named or referenced customers including Arla, FUJIFILM diosynth, Maersk Line, Ambu, Telenor DK, Tryg, and Nets A/S, alongside multiple undisclosed global enterprises in pharma, food manufacturing, fashion, automotive, and transport. Geographically the firm operates from offices in Hellerup, Aarhus, Stockholm, Oslo, Zürich, Hamburg, and Munich, with active expansion into the DACH market.

The partnership structure distributes ownership among partner-level executives rather than external shareholders, and revenue is generated primarily through professional-services fees on consulting engagements, supplemented by training revenues from the Implement Learning Institute and subscription-based newsletters. Technology partnerships with SAP, Kinaxis, o9 Solutions, OMP, and IFS underpin a significant portion of ERP and supply-chain planning work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are sold on a custom basis with multi-year contract cadences and performance-related compensation packages.

Direct peers

• Arthur D. Little: European-origin management consulting firm of similar headcount band with strong operations, supply chain, and transformation practices. Comparable target market of large European enterprises and similar service line breadth across strategy, operations, and digital transformation.
• Roland Berger: European-headquartered strategy and management consultancy of comparable scale, with deep presence across Germany, Switzerland, and the Nordics. Highly comparable on operating model, transformation focus, and DACH-heavy footprint — and a direct competitor for Implement's most strategic German and Swiss mandates.
• PA Consulting: European-headquartered consulting firm with overlapping transformation, operations, and digital practices serving large enterprises. Similar scale and focus on delivering innovation-driven, implementation-led outcomes rather than pure strategy advice.

Broad incumbents

• Capgemini Invent: Digital transformation and innovation arm of Capgemini, with strong Nordic and DACH operations and broad enterprise transformation, supply chain, and SAP capabilities. A broader incumbent with overlapping digital and transformation delivery capability rather than a Nordic specialist.
• McKinsey & Company: Global strategy incumbent with established Nordic offices and broad portfolio that overlaps with Implement's strategy, operations, transformation, and sustainability work. Not a niche specialist like Implement, but routinely the alternative on Nordic enterprise RFPs.
• Kearney: Global management consultancy with deep operations and supply chain practices that overlap directly with Implement's strongest service lines. A frequent competitor on procurement, supply chain, and operations transformation mandates across Europe.
• Oliver Wyman: Global management consultancy with operations, risk, and strategy practices serving financial services, industrials, and other Implement-relevant verticals. A broad incumbent rather than a Nordic specialist, but directly comparable on operational transformation work.
• Bain & Company: Global strategy and transformation consultancy with a strong Nordic footprint. Competes with Implement on strategy, M&A, and operations transformation mandates for the same Nordic enterprise client base.
• Boston Consulting Group: Global strategy incumbent with strong Nordic presence (including the former Qvartz in Denmark) and broad operations/transformation capabilities. A frequent competitor for Implement's strategy and transformation mandates, particularly with Nordic large-cap clients.

Regional players

• BearingPoint: European-origin management and technology consultancy with strong DACH presence and overlapping transformation, SAP, and supply chain offerings. Most directly comparable to Implement as a regional competitor in Germany and Switzerland rather than a global player.
