GIZ & us

We support you at GIZ - at all levels.

With workshops, processes, training, and coaching.

Virtual. On-Site. Hybrid.

Together, we - Corinna, Henning and Martin - have 33 years of internal and external expertise specific to GIZ. That's why we understand exactly how and why GIZ works the way it does, and also know the organisation's pain points very well.

 

In addition, we have extensive experience from our advisory work with the private, public and third sectors. We therefore bring new perspectives from other sectors and clients into our work with GIZ.

 

Our GIZ clients value the tangible impact we bring through our work - and regularly ask us for new assignments (see our references below).
