Consensa Projektberatung

What Consensa Projektberatung does

Consensa Projektberatung GmbH & Co. KG is a Hamburg-based, privately held German consulting firm founded in 1989 by Daniela Mayrshofer. It delivers project management consulting, change management, and qualification services to mid-to-large organizations across industries including aviation, pharmaceutical, chemical, healthcare, broadcasting, logistics, and public administration, with a portfolio of named enterprise and DAX-listed clients (Philips, Shell Network DACH, 4flow, and multiple DAX corporations). The firm operates on a horizontal, enterprise-focused GTM with four pillars: Beratung (consulting), Projektmanagement (including interim PM and the proprietary Projektcamp), Change Management, and Qualifizierung (training and certification), supplemented by a Digital Transformation line built around the Human Centric Organization framework and NEO-Mindset methodology.

The firm's intellectual property is method-centric rather than software-centric: core proprietary frameworks include the Kontext-Modell (Context Model) for Auftragsklärung and hybrid project architecture, Decision Levels method, Agile Experiments/Lightweight Change Management, 3-Schritt-Moderation, and Consensa Culture Standards. These are codified into certification tracks (Certified Hybrid Project Manager, Expert for Project-driven Change Management) and 12+ open-enrollment training modules plus 13+ in-house training topics, delivered via blended video and in-person formats. The technology stack is limited to mainstream collaboration tools (Zoom, Miro, Padlet, Meistertask, Google Docs, WonderMe) with no AI/ML or platform product disclosed.

Commercially, Consensa runs a direct, sales-led motion: open training seats priced at €1,940–€2,160 per participant, custom in-house training on quote, a Trainings-Flatrate subscription bundle for multi-seat corporate use, NGO discounts, and a PiP Practitioner Day offering lifetime alumni participation. The five-partner leadership structure (Mayrshofer, Milkereit, Grasemann, Bußhoff, Stahnke) leads an in-house team of 15+ permanent consultants and trainers rather than a freelance-broker model. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is founder/partner-owned with no external institutional investment, operates exclusively in the DACH region with select multinational deliveries, and was recognized in the Brand Eins 'Best IT Consultants 2024' ranking.
