Public Sector Consulting

Interest representatives in business and politics require qualified training.

PCG – Project Consult GmbH provides expert analyses and reports about labour, economic and regional issues to the public sector – federal and state ministries, local municipalities and other public organisations. Political actors benefit from this expertise when it comes to strategic decisions and forward-looking approaches.

Evaluations

PCG – Project Consult GmbH developed a business segment under the umbrella ‘evaluations’ that delivers on-demand analyses and evaluations for consulting cases, business processes and organisational matters.

The context, structure, process, scope and question of such a task can be individually tailored to your needs. Our analyses are then based on empirical data and systematically structured in order to provide comprehensible and verifiable results for our clients.

Standard approaches to internal and external data collection include questionnaires, statistic surveys as well as data and document analysis. An evaluation is then based on the calculated actual value in comparison to pre-determined target values, based on benchmark indicators.

Socio-political observations and advisory

Our fast-changing and increasingly globalised world poses entirely new challenges to the work of public sector consultants.

PCG – Project Consult GmbH pursues a conversational approach to consulting. It is imperative to have a relationship based on trust between the participating stakeholders and that all parties are aware of the context as well as the limits of the consulting work.

Focusing on the implementation is as important as the actual concepts themselves. This poses a challenge to the strategic discourse vis-à-vis the client and is also expected of us as consultants, observers and innovators. Our consulting concept ‘active moderation’ also serves this purpose, emphasising the connection between consulting and implementation as well as the ‘entanglement of expertise and organisational development’.
