Movingfutures Gmbh

What Movingfutures Gmbh does

Movingfutures GmbH is a privately held strategy consulting firm incorporated in Hamburg, Germany, operating under a single managing director, Dr. Benjamin Scher. The firm engages organizations through direct, sales-led outreach — primarily via its website at movingfutures.de — to deliver advisory engagements focused on helping clients act on uncertain future scenarios. Its stated differentiator is a combined methodology of strategy development, organizational understanding, and pragmatic "Hanseatic" implementation, executed through experiments, tests, and learning processes rather than purely conceptual deliverables.

The company targets three primary verticals. First, public organizations and their executives — research institutions, libraries, foundations, and public administration bodies — where the firm supports navigation of uncertain futures and organizational transformation. Second, mobility technology operators and platforms — autonomous driving, on-demand services, micro-mobility, public transport, drones, and car sharing — where the firm helps restructure value chains and bring new mobility systems to market. Third, product-driven companies and industries — owner-managed SMEs, mechanical engineering firms, and technology companies — where the firm supports product, market, and business model reimagining.

Movingfutures operates as a pure professional services business with no disclosed software product, no app, and no proprietary technology stack. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven consulting engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm maintains two minor affiliations — signatory status with Charta der Vielfalt and membership in WWN (Wirtschaftsmediation Netzwerk) — which extend its positioning around diversity and business mediation but are not material demand-generation channels. Geographic scope is described as regional, with no disclosed international markets or subsidiaries.

Direct peers

• Future Matters: Boutique futures and scenario consultancy advising organizations on uncertainty and strategy. Comparable on the 'futures' methodological positioning, though serving a broader European client base.
• Z_punkt (The Foresight Company): German foresight and scenario-planning consultancy also serving public organizations, mobility, and industrial clients. Closely comparable to Movingfutures on methodology (futures strategy with implementation support) and on German/DACH market focus.
• Berylls Strategy Advisors: Munich-based boutique strategy consultancy specializing in the automotive and mobility value chain. Directly comparable on the mobility/operator/platform segment and on serving German SMEs and product-driven industries.
• zeb (zeb.rolfes.schierenbeck.associates): European strategy consultancy with deep mobility and public-transport expertise. Comparable on the mobility/operator focus and on advising public-sector and platform clients through transformation mandates.

Broad incumbents

• Porsche Consulting: German management consultancy with deep automotive, mobility, and industrial expertise. Competes for the same mobility and product-driven SME mandates but operates at substantially greater scale and brand reach.
• McKinsey & Company: Global strategy incumbent with dedicated mobility, public-sector, and transformation practices. Competes for the same strategic advisory work but at a fundamentally different scale, scope, and price point.
• Bain & Company: Global strategy consultancy serving automotive, mobility, and industrial clients. Comparable on the strategy and transformation positioning, though at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Boston Consulting Group (BCG): Global strategy consultancy with strong mobility, automotive, and public-sector transformation practices. Direct competitor for high-end transformation mandates, though with broader offerings.
• Roland Berger: Major European-origin strategy consultancy with strong mobility, automotive, and public-sector practices. A scaled competitor for the same client mandates, but broader and less specialized in 'futures' methodology.
• Arthur D. Little: Global management consultancy with practices in innovation, mobility, and transformation strategy. Overlaps with Movingfutures on transformation and innovation mandates for large organizations.
