Product overview

The portfolio is organized as a set of eight core consulting service lines — Kommunikationsberatung und Bürgerbeteiligung, Partizipative Stadtplanung, Kommunalentwicklung, Planungs- und Umweltmediation, Zukunftsprozesse, Organisationsberatung, Kulturwandel, and Umsetzungscoaching und Evaluation — supported by a team of interdisciplinary experts spanning urban planning, environmental planning, human geography, communication design, media management, and political science. The offering is supplemented by two community engagement products: the TschiepSheet newsletter (delivered quarterly) and the Little Better Club (bimonthly informal gatherings).
