Reputation

Building confidence – competently and effectively.

It’s easy to get people talking about you. But making a name for yourself in the industry takes more.

We thus see our current recommendation rate of 98% as both praise and something to spur us on. Every year, we receive 20 to 30 testimonials from our clients in the upper German SME sector, evaluating the quality of our cooperation and in particular the results of our projects in a few sentences. For reasons of confidentiality, we only make these personal testimonials from individual clients available on request, but we are happy to provide contact details for the relevant contact persons, who can provide more detailed information on particular subjects or industry-specific references.

Our awards do not come by chance. And our competence speaks for itself. Just like our knowledge. And we are happy to share it. Together with LinkedIn, for example, we have created an e-learning course on transformation and turnaround management in practice.

    Awarded by the Handelsblatt:
    SMP belongs to top consultancies

    Every year, Handelsblatt investigates the question of which consulting firms are considered particularly renowned. This year, the Handelsblatt Research Institute again surveyed a peer group of 15,700 management consultants from over 325 consulting firms. The aim of the survey was to find out which consultancies perform best in their respective consulting areas.

    The result: an award from the industry for us. Because, as in 2022, Struktur Management Partner is once again among the best consulting firms in 2023 in the areas of "Family Businesses & Medium-Sized Companies" and "Restructuring & Turnaround", which were honored by the Handelsblatt.

       

    LinkedIn: E-learning on transformation and turnaround management

     

    How does value orientation profitably align a business model? Why are companies analysis giants but still implementation dwarfs?

    These and other questions will be explored in this e-learning course. We are primarily concerned with the successful realignment of companies.

    Together with LinkedIn, Struktur Management Partner has designed this course on transformation and turnaround management in practice.

    For valuable impetus from practice for practice.

    How we are rated
    by independent expert juries

    Struktur Management Partner is Top Consultant for the third time!

    The pioneer of Turnaround Management takes silver in the TOP CONSULTANT competition!

    Having already done so in 2018 and 2020, with the TOP CONSULTANT seal of 2022, Struktur Management Partner has now gained the award for the third time – yet again being placed among the top 3 companies in size category C (more than 50 experts). The coveted award is based on a scientific study carried out by an independent jury, and the objective evaluation of an anonymous customer survey. The excellent result is not only a great success for us, but also a measurable confirmation of our guiding principle: Results that count. Decisions that matter.

    “The attitude and high level of identification with our company are exceptional. Struktur Management Partner’s consultants are focused on individual client needs and provide tailor-made solutions, support us in difficult times with a high level of personal commitment, and maintain friendly relationships within the organisation. The cooperation is highly respectful on both sides and will hopefully continue beyond the current commission.” – Client testimonial from TOP CONSULTANT “Benchmarking Report”" – Client testimonial from TOP CONSULTANT “Benchmarking Report”

    FOCUS Business:
    Top Consultant 2021 - 2024

    FOCUS magazine asked over 1,800 experts which management consultancies they considered to be among the best.

    The aim of this survey, which was conducted for the first time, was to provide a transparent overview of the consulting market and the best consulting firms - from the perspective of both clients and industry peers.

    Struktur Management Partner received the Top Consultants 2021 - 2024 award in the fields of consulting, restructuring, trade, mechanical and plant engineering and change management.

    These awards once again confirm our uncompromising focus on maximum recommendation by our clients. Our current recommendation rate of 98% is one of the best reasons for the many awards we have received from independent institutions in recent years.

    SMP makes it into the TOP 20 of German management consultancies

    Who stands out from the crowd of over 20,000 management consultancies in Germany? 

    For more than three decades, the Lünendonk® lists have reflected the development of important business-to-business service markets in Germany. The Lünendonk® lists enjoy a high reputation among experts primarily because they are based on transparent criteria and publicly verifiable, validated figures and claim to be complete.

     

    In 2024, Struktur Management Partner made it into the top 20 largest German management consultancies for the first time thanks to renewed revenue growth in 2023 (Lünendonk® List 2024). This is all the more remarkable as - contrary to industry custom - we do not pursue any sales targets and do not pay any bonuses. However, the ranking proves that our consistent focus on added value for our customers is paying off. And it confirms the effectiveness and exceptional quality of our team, which we would like to take this opportunity to thank!

     

    brand eins survey: SMP ranks in the top 2% of German consultancies

    For the eleventh time in a row, Struktur Management Partner is one of the best management consultancies in Germany according to a study by the business magazine brand eins. And that as a smaller consulting boutique. According to the market analysis, we are one of the top ten consultancies in our core area of "restructuring". We also made it into the top ten in the consulting field of change management / transformation. The study was based on a survey conducted by brand eins Wissen and Statista.

    A total of around 1,500 colleagues, or more precisely: experts from large management consultancies, and another 1,500 clients rated their experiences in the consulting industry. 

    For us, the result is a confirmation of our work, but above all an enormous incentive to become even better.

    2019 study of the German restructuring market

    A study of the German restructuring market conducted by the prominent IfUS Institute revealed that we are one of the three highest-ranking restructuring specialists for all crisis phases, and were ranked first by turnaround-seeking client firms with turnover up to 250 million euros.

    Structure Management Partner is one of the top three consulting firms in the category of Planning Competence and in the most operations-relevant categories of Implementation Competence, Operational Restructuring Competence and Stakeholder Mediation Competence.
