5P Consulting

What 5P Consulting does

5P Consulting is a privately held talent and leadership consulting firm founded in 2003 in Vienna, Austria, operating from regional hubs in Vienna, Munich, and Budapest. The firm delivers professional services — including leadership development programs, talent management, assessment centers, organizational change consulting, executive coaching, mediation, and conflict management — to large enterprises, public institutions, and non-profits across DACH and Central Europe. Its service portfolio is organized around five pillars: New Work & Change, Leadership, Talent, Assessment, and Facilitation & Mediation, supported by proprietary methodologies such as the 5Ps Framework (Purpose, Perspectives, Potential, Performance, Progress) and the IMDE Talent Developer tool.

The business operates a hybrid model combining roughly 11-50 core employees with a curated network of 60+ expert trainers, coaches, and consultants. Engagements are delivered through direct B2B relationships with enterprise clients on a custom, quote-based, multi-year contract basis; no public pricing or self-serve channels exist. The firm has grown through two strategic acquisitions — Akademie für Führungskräfte (Germany, 2021) and in-Depth SOULutions (Hungary, 2023) — and has extended thought leadership through publications including the 'Leading New Work' book and the ICEP development initiative. The partner structure spans Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Hungary, with named clients including Roche, Novartis, Continental, KTM, voestalpine, REWE Group, VERBUND, A1, and TU/WU Wien.
