Laube & Klein

What Laube & Klein does

Laube & Klein is a Swiss management and process consulting firm (Organisations- und Prozessberatung) founded in 1999 by Andres Klein in Gelterkinden, canton Basel-Landschaft. The firm focuses on organizational and process consulting, with particular depth in geoinformation systems (GIS), engineering, procurement and tendering support, strategy development, and training/coaching. Following a 2012 leadership transition in which Dani Laube became CEO and Chairman, Laube assumed sole ownership in 2021.

The firm's client base is concentrated in the Swiss public sector, spanning federal agencies (swisstopo, Swissgrid, Paul Scherrer Institut), multiple cantons (Basel-Stadt, Bern, Basel-Landschaft), municipalities, industry associations, and NGOs, alongside private utilities and energy companies (Axpo, IWB). Geographic coverage extends from its Basel-region base across Switzerland and into Liechtenstein. Service delivery is project-based professional services work, with no subscription, platform, or productized revenue model described.

The firm operates without disclosed external funding and is private and bootstrapped. Reported headcount is 1-10 employees, indicating a principals-led boutique model in which engagement delivery and client relationships are concentrated in named individuals rather than a scaled delivery organization. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Notable positioning beyond client work includes Dani Laube's presidency of SIA Norm Commission 405 (geoinformation standards) and his prior leadership of GEOSummit (2011-2016), which embed the firm in the codification of Swiss geoinformation standards and provide indirect visibility into future public-sector procurement specifications.

Direct peers

• Helbling Group: Swiss management and engineering consultancy with public-sector practice. Comparable in offering organizational and process consulting, but at substantially larger scale and broader industrial coverage.
• Ernst Basler + Partner (EBP): Swiss engineering and consulting firm with deep public-sector and infrastructure expertise. Comparable to Laube & Klein in serving federal/cantonal/municipal clients with advisory, planning, and project leadership—though at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Ecoplan: Swiss economic and policy consultancy serving federal and cantonal governments on environment, energy, and mobility. Overlaps with Laube & Klein's organizational/process consulting and planning/environmental work for public administration.
• Infras: Swiss research and consulting firm focused on transport, environment, and energy for public-sector clients. Directly comparable on the public administration / environmental planning service lines that Laube & Klein also offers (Planung & Umwelt).
• Mettler + Partner AG: Swiss boutique consultancy offering management and process consulting to public and private clients. Most similar in size and delivery model to Laube & Klein.
• B+S AG (Bernd und Stefan Schmidt): Swiss consulting firm specializing in GIS, geoinformation, and spatial data infrastructure for public-sector clients. Closely comparable on Laube & Klein's core geoinformation/GIS service line.
• Metron Verkehrsplanung: Swiss planning consultancy serving public administration on spatial, infrastructure, and mobility planning. Comparable in niche specialization and Swiss public-sector client base, though focused more on transportation/spatial planning.

Broad incumbents

• PwC Switzerland: Global Big Four firm with substantial Swiss public-sector consulting practice. Competes on the broader organizational/process consulting mandate pool, but lacks Laube & Klein's niche GIS/conduit cadastre specialization.

Emerging players

• Geoterra AG: Swiss geoinformation/GIS consulting firm. Directly comparable on the geoinformation and GIS technical specialization that distinguishes Laube & Klein's engineering practice.

Others

• Esri Switzerland: Swiss subsidiary of GIS software market leader Esri. Not a direct competitor on consulting, but a key vendor/ecosystem partner that influences the GIS implementation mandates Laube & Klein delivers.
