Contrast Management-Consulting supported GWS – a integrative production facility with more than 400 employees – in  a very difficult period of restructuring. The socially and professionally highly skilled team of consultants identified the difficult situation and the management deficiencies quickly and provided vital information for the supervisory board from the results. This analysis was the origin of a modification of the management team and a new orientation oft the GWS company.  We have assigned Contrast for a second project as a follow up to support our interim management with the restructuring measures. Together with the consultants we were able to make GWS a stable company again.

Contrast Management-Consulting has been consulting the Austrian Red Cross in several projects in matters of strategy, change management and management control over the past years. During those projects the consultants have been showing a great amount of consistency and sensitivity. The employees of Contrast consequently managed to achieve the project goals in due time together with the team of the Red Cross. At all times they carefully beard in mind the specific characteristics and requirements of an organization like the Red Cross in their project management.

Dr. Werner Kerschbaum (Vice President)

Contrast Management-Consulting was consulted to create a business plan including investment and financial calculation for a newly planned production facility. The consultants team was convincingly skilled in all subject and methodological matters. Furthermore they showed high flexibility and experience in dealing with the specifics of a social business. In a perfect collaboration we achieved very good final results on a rather tight schedule. We felt very well serviced during this important step for our company.
