Expertise in the fields that shape the future.

In the field of small and medium-sized companies, Thurn und Taxis Consulting AG concentrates on classic management consulting and business development for primarily owner-led firms. We draw on extensive know-how across different kinds of competence: from commercial advice and the analysis of a company's economic situation, through strategic perspectives and development potential in the market, to implementation in organisation and people development.

Owner-led companies in particular make their decisions on their own responsibility. We meet them as partners who know that perspective from our own entrepreneurial experience, and we accompany the path all the way through, from the first analysis to concrete implementation in the business.

In doing so we stand by our clients comprehensively and, thanks above all to our broad network, we are reachable for unusual questions and challenges too, the kind that have no standard answer.

In property and real estate management we identify projects together with partners and clients, develop the corresponding specification within the business model and evaluate it commercially and organisationally.

Beyond that, within our partner network and on request, we also take on and organise the processes of purchase and sale as well as the administration and operation of the properties concerned. In this way we accompany a property across its entire life cycle, not only in a single phase.

We understand real estate management as an integral part of entrepreneurial value creation and as a business sui generis. It reaches beyond the property itself into the corporate law structure within an overall entrepreneurial construct that we actively help to shape.

Thurn und Taxis Consulting AG supports companies and structures in hospitality management with advice, but also in implementation and in actual operations. Our own experience in running hotels and restaurants, and in large-scale event catering, forms the basis of our strategic and operational competence.

The focus of what we offer lies in the commercial analysis of processes, in operational excellence and in the psychologically grounded translation of strategy and market positioning into the guest journey. We connect hospitality management meaningfully with the possibilities of property and real estate management, particularly when working with existing buildings and planning new ones.

Where the market allows it, we see ourselves not only as a provider of support and advice, but also as an independent provider of hospitality services. Separately from this consulting field, we run houses of our own under Thurn und Taxis Hotels.

In Innovative Health we draw on economic competences in commercial structuring, process management, organisational development and, above all, human resource management. We extend them with the dimension of medically based services and with the ability to integrate those services into overall models that create value.

From the proximity to public health topics that necessarily follows, business and operator models emerge that take up innovative approaches from health services research. This makes it possible to place genuine innovations in the health market that are economically viable and effective in care at the same time.

We do not regard medical quality and entrepreneurial structure as opposites, but as preconditions for one another.

We look at education and research both from an economic angle and as a field of our own social responsibility. The task is to develop educational offerings for the German and the international market against the question of how educational fairness, in the sense of accessibility for every group in a society, can be brought together with an appropriate selection of content in a global body of knowledge that is growing exponentially.

This work covers innovative organisational models, including artificial intelligence, as much as the classic structures of teaching and research in institutions such as universities and academies.

Alongside it runs our own research, both as an offering for potential partners and on our own initiative, on the subjects that Thurn und Taxis Consulting AG stands for. Papers, lectures and publications emerge on these topics systematically, accompanied by personal and institutional partnerships.

Emerging markets represent a substantial challenge for entrepreneurial and economic development, commercially for the individual entrepreneur and macroeconomically for society as a whole.

Our focus is on Sub-Saharan Africa as a paradigmatic representation of the Global South, with an emphasis on West Africa. Here we draw on expertise from our own entrepreneurial activity in these regions and act as sparring partner and companion for our partners and clients on the question of whether investment in these regions makes sense.

This means reflecting on the opportunities and risks of such investments as much as on the fundamental soundness of the corresponding business models in the target regions. Out of many years of personal experience abroad comes a jointly balanced judgement that tests investment decisions for structural viability at a very early stage and so avoids misplaced investment.
