Ottima s.r.o.

What Ottima s.r.o. does

Ottima s.r.o. is a privately held Czech (s.r.o.) consulting and training company headquartered in Prague 8, founded in 2008 under the leadership of Director Barbora Pitoňák Krieglerová. It operates across three primary service lines: corporate employee training and development delivered through custom in-person sessions, live online workshops, and self-paced e-learning; recruitment and headhunting with candidate assessment; and HR/business consulting including career counseling, outplacement, HR and business consulting, and family business succession planning. Beyond the enterprise segment, the firm maintains a dedicated educator-focused practice serving primary and secondary schools, and has extended into demographic-specific programming via the EU-funded 'Ženy 50+ bez hranic' initiative.

The underlying product surface spans twelve catalogued offerings. Custom in-person training and live online workshops (6-25 participants via Zoom/Webex/Teams) form the core; e-learning content is built in Articulate Rise and Storyline and exported in SCORM format for LMS/LXP integration. Assessment and development centers use a stack of third-party diagnostics (WinQuo, GPOP/Hogan, Thomas International) combined with experiential scenarios such as Mountain Leadership and Jungle Expedition. Supporting the paid services are a free EDU FOKUS webinar series launched April 2025, the Spotify/YouTube podcast 'Protože na lidech záleží' (8 episodes by December 2024), and an active social/blog presence. The technology stack is intentionally non-proprietary: Ottima depends entirely on partner diagnostic and authoring tools rather than building its own platform.

The business model is professional-services-led, blending customized enterprise contracts (on-site training, development programs, assessment centers) with per-seat open-enrollment workshops priced in Czech koruna (450 Kč for recorded webinars, up to 6,900 Kč for a one-day crisis management workshop). Go-to-market is direct B2B sales targeting corporate HR departments, school management, and family businesses across the Czech Republic, supplemented by content marketing, free webinar funnel programs, and long-tenured account relationships such as the ongoing PRO-DOMA partnership dating back to 2011. The customer base spans named enterprise logos including T-Mobile, Sandoz, Johnson Controls, Lidl, LINET, Mondi, Molson Coors, UniCredit Leasing, Preciosa, Ravak, CEZ, Danone, and Heineken, alongside public-sector education clients, with revenue concentrated in domestic Czech operations.
