ConMendo

What ConMendo does

ConMendo is a German management consulting firm (Conmendo GmbH) founded in 2009 by Lars F. Putzer, a former McKinsey senior executive with 10+ years at the firm. The firm provides transformation consulting for DAX 40 corporations and German Mittelstand, organized around four service pillars: corporate transformation, digital excellence (with a productized Process Mining 2.0 practice), finance function optimization (Finance Functional Performance Scan), and HR transformation. Its core technical asset is a proprietary Process Mining Framework implemented on partner platforms from Celonis and QPR, supplemented by in-house methodologies such as Innovation Grids and the Finance Functional Performance Scan; a separate ConMendo Digital subsidiary handles implementation and analytics delivery.

The firm generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services engagements, typically billed at senior daily rates consistent with tier-1 strategy boutiques, and complemented by a growing self-service layer of online self-assessments that funnel mid-market leads into the sales pipeline. Its go-to-market is founder-led with senior partners deeply embedded in German enterprise accounts, supported by a brand-equity strategy built around five consecutive "Best Consultant" placements (brand eins/Statista, 2021–2025) and Great Place to Work certification. The firm operates from five German cities (Kronberg im Taunus headquarters, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, and Munich) and serves an enterprise client base that includes Deutsche Telekom, Allianz, Deutsche Bahn, Lufthansa, Daimler, AXA, Rolls-Royce, DHL, Sparkassen, and 50Hertz.

ConMendo is privately held and bootstrapped, with no external funding events disclosed. Its competitive model is fundamentally a senior-talent boutique: a small core team of 11 (drawn from McKinsey, Deloitte, BearingPoint, E.ON, and Deutsche Telekom backgrounds) supported by a wider associate and contractor bench, leveraging partner-platform technology, codified frameworks, and a multi-city German footprint to compete against larger system integrators on quality and against smaller boutiques on scale.

Emerging players

• Celonis SE: German-founded process mining platform vendor and ConMendo's certified technology partner. Not a direct consulting peer, but increasingly a strategic competitor as Celonis bundles more transformation and benchmark content directly to enterprises.

Broad incumbents

• McKinsey & Company (Germany): Global strategy consultancy with a large German practice and the same DAX 40 transformation client base. Broad incumbent whose Organisation Practice was previously built by ConMendo's founder; competes for the same large transformation mandates.
• Deloitte Consulting (Germany): Global professional services firm with a sizeable German transformation, HR, and finance consulting practice. Competes for ConMendo's DAX 40 transformation work but offers a much broader portfolio of services and global scale.
