ThyssenKrupp Inhouse Consulting joins the initiative 'dichter dran' (being closer)
+++ The 'being closer' initiative now has 16 members +++
Frankfurt, July 1, 2013 - ThyssenKrupp Management Consulting (TKMC) is the newest member of the 'being closer' initiative. The ThyssenKrupp Group's in-house management consulting unit enhances the cooperation of in-house consulting units with their staff and expertise. As a group-wide consulting service, TKMC provides support for top management across all business areas, as well as for the Group's corporate centre.
Since its founding in 2009, TKMC has grown to 25 employees with different educational and professional backgrounds. Therefore it provides a good combination of engineers, scientists and economists, who are contributing to the realignment of the ThyssenKrupp Group. The project quality benefits from the diverse know-how and experiences of the team members that result in a variety of complementary viewpoints and approaches. TKMC focuses on projects in the fields of business strategy and organizational development, market and competition analysis, as well as operative performance improvements. To ensure sustainability, the consultants are available after project conclusion in order to further support their internal clients during implementation of recommended improvements.
In the course of their consulting activities at TKMC, consultants become familiar with various business topics within the diversified industrial group. At the same time, working on projects throughout the Group allows them to build up their network within ThyssenKrupp and with senior management. This provides an ideal basis for the consultants to grow into a line position and to assume management responsibilities within the Group in the mid-term.
Since its establishment in 2008, the 'being closer' initiative has grown from seven to its present 16 members.
