SMP Strategy Consulting

What SMP Strategy Consulting does

SMP Strategy Consulting, operating as Eraneos Strategy GmbH since its September 2025 rebrand, is a Düsseldorf-headquartered management consulting firm that has served enterprise clients since 1998. The firm operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eraneos Group, having joined the group in 2023 to access a broader service portfolio and international delivery infrastructure. Its core historical focus is corporate and business strategy, customer and commercial excellence, and organizational transformation for clients in financial services, energy and utilities, and telecommunications. Since joining Eraneos, the firm has expanded its vertical coverage to include transport and logistics, pharma and medtech, the public sector, and automotive.

The firm's service portfolio is organized into six lines: Corporate & Business Strategy (corporate strategy, business strategy, strategy implementation), Customer & Commercial Excellence (product and brand portfolio, customer experience and design, sales and service excellence), Organizational Excellence and Transformation (organizational transformation, operational excellence, lean agile enterprise transformation), Data and Artificial Intelligence, Sourcing and IT Consulting, and Cybersecurity. There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform, productized software, or API; delivery is human-led consulting. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements with enterprise clients on a project-based pricing model tied to scope, consultant seniority, and engagement duration, with multi-year contract cadence.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct engagement with large enterprise clients through senior consultants and partners, supported by LinkedIn presence, industry events, and a dedicated careers portal. As part of Eraneos Group, the firm has access to delivery infrastructure across 10 countries (Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, UK, Singapore, and the United States). The firm employs between 101 and 250 people, sits within a ~1,200-employee parent group that posted €263 million in 2024 revenue, and has historically delivered double-digit revenue growth on a multi-year basis. No standalone SMP revenue, customer logos, or management team disclosures are available in the source material.
