What INFO GmbH - Institut für Organisationen does

INFO GmbH – Institut für Organisationen is a privately held German HR consulting firm founded in 1998 and headquartered at Kloster Arnsburg in Lich, Hessen. The firm operates alongside the affiliated INFO Trainings- und Beratungs-GmbH and collectively employs approximately 15 advisors, trainers, and consultants. Its service portfolio spans the full "Talent Life Cycle," organized into three pillars: Personalauswahl (personnel selection), Personalentwicklung (training and development), and Organisationsentwicklung (organizational development), delivered to both private-sector enterprises and German public administration. Founder and Geschäftsführer Wolfgang Kring brings academic credentials in Organizational Behavior and prior experience at Kienbaum and P.A. Management Consulting, and Prokuristin Susan Schultheis is a co-shareholder.

The company's core technology is a web-based diagnostic suite compliant with DIN 33430 standards for occupational aptitude testing. The product stack includes the Online-Eignungstests (a modular system of 40+ test modules covering cognitive abilities, knowledge, and personality), the Persönlichkeits-Motiv-Compass (PMC, a proprietary personality/motivation instrument capturing 15 career-relevant motives via a 5-color model), the Multimodales Interview (MMO®, a structured interview methodology with 200+ situational questions for professionals and 160+ for career starters), multimodal Assessment Center and Management Audit formats, ~80 modular soft-skills and methodology training measures, and a 360° Feedback module. These instruments can be deployed as managed consulting services or licensed to client organizations for in-house use after qualified training/certification.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: (1) HR consulting services (needs analysis, process design, implementation support for selection, development, and change management), (2) training and coaching programs (inhouse, on-site or online, in German and English), and (3) licensing of proprietary diagnostic tools. Pricing is predominantly quote-based and customized; one publicly disclosed price is €350 per participant for the 4-hour "Ausbilder:in als Coach" online workshop. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven through direct consultation requests, content marketing (Future Work blog, Info-Letter newsletter), and events such as Zukunft Personal Süd. The firm serves named enterprise clients including Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck KGaA, Rheinmetall, ALSTOM, Barmenia, Sartorius, HDI, REWE, and Diehl, alongside government clients such as Landeshauptstadt Wiesbaden, Hessisches Ministerium für Soziales und Integration, and Eisenbahn-Bundesamt.
