Performance & Competitivness

We help companies to improve their true performance and competitiveness.

Most companies do not have an efficiency problem, but an effectiveness problem. We identify the real bottlenecks that limit performance and growth, and make the decisive levers visible. We can also help drive implementation forward: ensuring that insight is translated into effective and timely action.

Dr. Thomas Hott

My extensive experience in the two very different worlds – large‒scale research and business – with their often diametrically opposed approaches and values, has taught me to think unconventionally and to identify causes and solutions while others are still debating the symptoms.

These are capabilities I apply with genuine enthusiasm for the benefit of my clients.

What makes my professional background so distinctive is that I spent over 18 years in senior roles within majotrresearch organisations – including CERN in Geneva and DESY in Hamburg – and have now been working for 14 years in the private sector, specifically in management and technology consulting across Engineering, Life Sciences and IT.
