Your host for the day

Navigating the world of management consultancy brings with it a multitude of challenges – highs and lows, opportunities and risks. My journey, spanning over 25 years, has been a dynamic exploration of these various facets, not as a mere spectator, but as an active participant experiencing the ups and downs.

I acquired my expertise in large consulting firms, and I forged my own path by operating my own agency for a decade before eventually selling it. I’ve dealt with the intricacies of driving a sole proprietorship, achieving seven-figure revenues through value-based fees and much more besides. I have been in the consultancy profession for decades and have developed a deep love for and dedication to it. Since 2015, my passion has been to help other consultants in their continued personal and business growth.

I warmly invite all board members to read my articles, engage in complimentary webinars and take the opportunity presented by my Board Discussions to take a transformational leap to success. I look forward to meeting you in person at one of our upcoming events.

Yours sincerely,
Matthias Kolbusa

„Die Vorstandsdiskussion diente mir als professionellen Denkanstoß. Die Debatte über Change-Projekte und die Frage, wieso sie so oft versanden oder erlahmen, regte doch sehr zur ehrlichen Reflektion an. Das Thema ‘erfolgreiches OKR-Management’ war sehr strukturiert und bot überraschende wie praxisnahe Impulse. Alles in allem: Neu, erfrischend, wertvoll.“
