Commax

What Commax does

Commax Consulting GmbH & Co. KG is a German management consulting firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Grünwald near Munich, specializing in people and organizational development for enterprise clients. The firm operates across three service pillars — People Development (Leadership, Sales & Customer Excellence, Team Development), Organizational Development (Corporate Culture, Change & Transformation, OKR implementation), and the Commax Academy (Trainer Education, AI Qualification, DiSG Certification, OKR Specialist) — and serves 250+ named enterprise clients including BMW, Deutsche Bank, Vodafone, Siemens, BASF, Daimler, adidas, Roche Diagnostics, and PayPal across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The company is privately held by its founding partners, ISO 9001 certified, and managed operationally by Managing Directors Rainer Arlt and Robert Götz, with founder Christian Geissler serving as Chairman of the Advisory Board.

The firm's core methodology is a Blended Learning architecture that combines synchronous group learning with asynchronous self-study, structured as multi-stage "Learner Journeys" with pre- and post-learning impulses, transfer applications, and learning buddies to drive sustainable behavioral change. Delivery integrates established psychometric and profiling tools (MBTI, Insights MDI, LSI, LiFO, DiSG) and is offered through multiple formats including on-site, online, hybrid, and at Commax's Grünwald offices. Operations are supported by 101 team members averaging 9.3 years of tenure, combining internal consultants and trainers with an extended external network of practitioners.

Commax generates revenue through professional services — bespoke consulting engagements, training workshops, executive coaching, and academy certification programs — sold via a consultative enterprise field-sales motion. Pricing is quote-based and tied to scope, duration, and customization, with multi-year contracts; no standardized pricing is publicly disclosed. Revenue figures are not disclosed in available source material. Distribution relies on direct B2B engagement, client referrals, thought leadership content (website, LinkedIn, Instagram), an email newsletter, and recurring events including the annual Trainer Campus and client roadshows.
