What Brockmann & Büchner does

Brockmann & Büchner is a Hamburg-headquartered German management consulting firm operating as a Partnerschaftsgesellschaft (a partnership under German professional partnership law), co-founded in 2010 by Marc Brockmann and Sascha Büchner. The firm operates under the brand "2bic" and runs a secondary office in Frankfurt. It specializes in digital transformation, innovation management, IT architecture, and simulation services for large enterprise clients, with disclosed engagements spanning European railway operators (Deutsche Bahn, Bayernbahn, SBB), agribusiness (Syngenta), and telecom/IT services (T-Systems).

The firm is a member of the Nextcontinent global consulting network, which provides access to roughly 3,000 consultants across 30 countries and 71 offices, allowing Brockmann & Büchner to extend delivery capacity beyond its own small headcount. Within its service portfolio, the firm offers an applied AI/ML advisory line — including predictive analytics reportedly achieving 93% accuracy and structured AI use-case identification frameworks — alongside simulation tooling that supports enterprise decision-making.

The business model is project-based consulting with an optional performance-based compensation component that aligns a portion of fees to client outcomes. The publicly visible management team comprises approximately six individuals, including the two founders, indicating a boutique delivery structure rather than a scaled consulting platform. No external funding, M&A, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available data.
