What wibas Management Consultants does

wibas Management Consultants (legal entity: wibas GmbH) is a privately-held German management consultancy headquartered in Darmstadt, founded in 1997 and operating with 51-100 employees. The firm is built around three interlocking service lines: (i) consulting engagements in agile transformation, change management, turnaround management (including German StaRUG preventive restructuring and IDW S6/S11 reports), leadership development, and organizational development; (ii) a certified training academy offering Scrum Alliance (CSM, CSPO, A-CSM, A-CSPO, CSP-SM), Kanban University (KMP I, KMP II), and Scaled Agile (SPC, SA, HW, LPM, RTE, POPM, SP, SSM) courses at €999-€2,995 per participant, plus AI-native, OKR, Obeya, and agile fundamentals programs; and (iii) interim role placement (Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Release Train Engineers, Project Managers). Ancillary revenue comes from proprietary publications (Ultimate Scrum Guide, Map of Change at €29.95, Scrum/Kanban/Agile Compacts, posters) and self-assessment tools sold via the company website.

Underlying technology consists of established agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, LeSS, OKR, Design Thinking) and Microsoft Copilot as the anchor AI platform for the firm's newly-launched AI-native advisory practice. The firm's core methodology is its proprietary "Delivery Capability / Lieferfähigkeit" framework, which addresses strategy, culture, process, and leadership, supported by self-assessment instruments. wibas holds Gold SPCT Partner status with Scaled Agile (highest tier) plus authorized partnerships with Scrum Alliance and Kanban University, giving it exclusive rights to deliver the full certification catalog in its region.

The go-to-market is consultancy-led and event-driven. Direct consulting and interim placements are sold via appointment booking, phone, and email; training is sold self-serve through the website booking system; publications are sold via e-commerce. Demand generation runs through community meetups (Agile Rhein Main, Kanban Consultation Hour, Scrum Consultation Hour, Agility in Physical Product Development), the annual Transformation Conference in Heidelberg, the AI Webinar Series, external conference participation (MedConf, Lean Around The Clock, COCON, PM Forum Digital, VKU), content marketing across a 40+-article blog, and thought-leadership placement in Die Deutsche Wirtschaft and Informatik Aktuell. The firm serves both SMEs and large enterprises across automotive (Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz), financial services (Deutsche Bank, dwpbank), insurance (Munich Re, Zurich), energy/technology (SMA, Bosch), chemicals, life sciences (Merck KGaA), and telecommunications (Vodafone), operating primarily in the DACH region.
