Neueberatung Gmbh

What Neueberatung Gmbh does

Neueberatung GmbH is a privately-held, Frankfurt am Main-based management consulting firm specializing in business model innovation and transformation. The company was founded in 2012 and operates as a boutique consultancy led by founder and Managing Director Markus Blatt. Its service portfolio spans six interconnected offerings — Lösungen mit KI (AI Solutions), Design Thinking, OKR (Objectives and Key Results), New Work, Business Model Design, and Leistungsfelder (Service Fields) — delivered as custom consulting mandates rather than standardized products. The firm is also the publisher of the Design Thinking handbook 'Wo ist das Problem?' and maintains an active German-language content library (the Magazin blog) covering OKR, Design Thinking, business model design, New Work, and AI in business.

The firm targets German-speaking enterprises across a horizontal mix of more than 10 industries in the DACH region, applying frameworks such as Design Thinking, Business Model Canvas, Lean Startup, and OKR to support digital transformation, agile adoption, and organizational change. GTM is sales-led and content-driven: client acquisition flows from direct consulting engagements, inbound content engagement via the Magazin and newsletter, professional social channels (LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram), industry conference speaking, and brand recognition. The firm does not publish pricing and operates on a quote-based engagement model.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees on project or retainer mandates; no subscription, SaaS, or productized recurring revenue is disclosed. The firm is founder-owned, has no disclosed external investors, no subsidiaries, and no M&A history. Its most significant scale proxy is 11 consecutive years (2016–2026) of recognition on brand eins/Statista's 'Beste Unternehmensberater' list, supplemented by FOCUS Business (2021–2023) and Handelsblatt (2022–2023) accolades.

Direct peers

• zeb consulting: European (German-headquartered) boutique consulting firm specializing in financial services transformation. Comparable in scale and methodology-driven boutique positioning within DACH.
• HPP International: German boutique management consultancy focused on business model transformation and strategy execution. Comparable in scale, regional focus (DACH), and transformation methodology positioning to neueBeratung.
• Kerkhoff Group: German consulting firm with strong transformation and procurement/supply chain practice. Comparable boutique scale, founder-driven model, and DACH regional focus.
• Envolved: Frankfurt-based boutique consulting firm specializing in transformation, OKR, and agile organizational change. Direct competitor for OKR and New Work mandates in the DACH mid-market.

Broad incumbents

• SinnerSchrader (now part of Accenture Song): German digital transformation and experience design consultancy (now part of Accenture). Adjacent competitor for Design Thinking and digital business model engagements at mid-to-large German enterprises.
• Roland Berger: Major European-origin strategy consultancy with deep German roots and a strong transformation practice. Competes for senior-level transformation mandates but serves much larger enterprise clients.
• Detecon International: German-origin management and technology consultancy with strong digital transformation capabilities. Overlaps with neueBeratung on AI and digital strategy mandates at larger enterprise clients.
• Capgemini Invent: Global digital transformation and innovation consulting arm of Capgemini, with German presence. Competes with neueBeratung on AI and business model transformation mandates, but operates at significantly larger scale with broader portfolio.

Emerging players

• Workpath: Munich-based OKR software platform. Not a direct consulting peer, but represents the tooling layer that could either complement neueBeratung's OKR coaching or commoditize parts of its methodology offering.

Regional players

• IBsolution: Heidelberg-based management and IT consultancy with transformation practice. Comparable boutique scale and DACH focus, with overlapping digital transformation and business model advisory services.
