What Undconsorten does

Undconsorten is a Berlin-headquartered German top-management consulting firm founded in 2006 by former McKinsey consultants Dr. Jens Müller-Oerlinghausen and Dr. Axel Sauder. The firm specializes in organizational consulting across seven practice areas: Strategic Alignment, Operating Model, Leadership & People Development, Team Performance, Workforce & HR Transformation, Corporate Culture, and Change Management. It differentiates through a co-production model that emphasizes implementation sustainability and eye-level partnership with client leadership.

The firm serves enterprise clients primarily in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), with a Berlin headquarters and a second office in Munich. Its client base spans more than half of DAX-40 companies as well as SDAX-listed firms, family-owned businesses, SMEs, private equity portfolio companies, and public institutions such as L-Bank and BA. Named engagements include organizational transformation work for Infineon, Vonovia, APCOA, L-Bank, Viessmann, Arvato/Bertelsmann, Schaeffler, Tengelmann, Wilo SE, Vitrea, CCR, STADA, and NEUWERK, covering industries from semiconductors and automotive to healthcare, real estate, banking, and industrial manufacturing.

Undconsorten is structured as a GmbH & Co. KG (undconsorten Managementberatung GmbH & Co. KG) with a general partner entity (undconsorten Managementverwaltung GmbH) managed by four partners. Revenue derives from project-based professional services engagements negotiated individually with enterprise clients; no public pricing or financial results are disclosed. The firm complements its core advisory work with standardized offerings (SH*RP HRBP enablement program, HR Review assessment), proprietary research (Operating Model Study 2026), and thought-leadership events (H2O2 in cooperation with BPM). It has won consecutive Hidden Champion awards in Führung & Organisation and Change Management and maintains a 4.6/5.0 Kununu employee rating with a 100% recommendation rate.
