What Assure Consulting does

Assure Consulting GmbH is a German management consultancy founded in 2003 and headquartered in Neu-Anspach with secondary offices in Wehrheim, and 11 contract/office locations across major German cities (Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Cologne, Düsseldorf, and others). The firm specializes in project management services spanning classical, agile, and hybrid methodologies, with five core focus areas: Operative Project Management, Project Portfolio Management, Change & Culture, AI in Project Management, and Agile Transformation. It employs 154 project experts holding certifications across Scrum, SAFe, PRINCE2, IPMA, PMI, ITIL, and IREB, and has completed more than 1,000 projects across 15 industries including automotive, banking, telecommunications, transport/logistics, pharma, healthcare, and public sector.

The firm's business model is purely professional services-based: it generates revenue by deploying consultants on client engagements at undetermined daily or project-based rates, with no disclosed software or product revenue streams. Distribution is entirely direct and field-based, with consultants placed on-site at client locations across Germany. Lead generation is supported by a content-rich website (SEO, downloadable guides, case studies), HubSpot-powered email marketing, LinkedIn/Instagram presence, and periodic recruitment events. The go-to-market targets enterprise and mid-market clients; tier-1 logos include Volkswagen, Siemens Energy, Lufthansa Cargo, DB Kommunikationstechnik, Deutsche Glasfaser, Landesbank Berlin, BD Rowa, BVG Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe, and Klinikum Stuttgart. NGO and social-sector clients (Jambo Bukoba e.V., ProVeg e.V., Ashoka Deutschland) are served largely through pro bono skill-based volunteering.

The company is led by three managing directors (Alexander Runow, Christian Rawcliffe, Eric Marischka) and one named Partner (Alexander Dreessen), with no disclosed external investors or parent company prior to February 2026. On 2026-02-24, Andersen Consulting announced the acquisition of Assure Consulting to integrate its PMO, portfolio management, and agile transformation capabilities into Andersen's global transformation delivery. The firm's core technology stack consists of standard project management and collaboration tools (Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Miro, MS Office, MS Project) and marketing automation (HubSpot, softgarden); its only disclosed proprietary deliverable is a custom Excel-based project portfolio management tool built for a non-profit client.
