Our mission

Our goal is to help our customers establish processes and tools for leadership development that will continue to be effective in the long-term. Profil M does not believe in providing standard tools. We give careful consideration to the unique requirements of each company, while taking a clear position and providing specific recommendations. For us, these are not mutually exclusive – rather, they form the key components of our consulting philosophy. Based on your strategy, your understanding of talent management and your existing processes, we help you develop appropriate solutions that will attract and motivate your internal customers. We deliberately refuse to limit our focus to a specific industry; yet our focus with regard to content is clear: we develop leaders. We can provide you with in-depth content and expert consulting, as well as practical solutions that can actually be implemented successfully in your company.

Our personal commitment

We combine a strong commitment to our work and proven expertise in the field with a reliable and personal approach to communication. This is what we value when working for you and it is also what we look for when choosing our own team members. We believe that this approach is crucial for establishing mutual trust with our customers and also within our team, which essentially determines the quality and success of our projects. Profil M consultants have many years of experience in corporate personnel development or in consulting. Most of our consultants are certified psychologists with additional qualifications in business administration. This knowledge is the foundation that underpins the success of their projects. Our Profil M back office team can be relied on for competent customer service at any time, providing you with comprehensive support to ensure that we satisfy all your organisation’s requirements for flexibility and quality.

The Profil M Team has continued to grow. Joining our many long-standing employees, new members continue to endow our team with new knowledge and new ideas. The combination of continuity and a fresh breeze is one of the most important pillars of our success.
