"It was a pleasure to work with you in reviewing and redefining our corporate and business unit strategies. The results of the consulting project with your firm have helped us to make significant progress towards the achievement of our business and shareholder goals. You worked together with us to create practical, "real-world" strategic actions that deliver tangible value, based on a pragmatic, but thorough review and assessment of our options. Also, we highly appreciate your skill and helpfulness in appropriately integrating our key managers into the consulting process and making sure that they are really on board and well-aligned for its successful implementation. Our association with HIRT&FRIENDS has provided us with an excellent return on our consulting investment."

In various roles and tasks - strategy development and implementation, team building, conflict management, management training, coaching of executives - you have demonstrated great versatility and flexibility, have quickly familiarised yourself with new problems, have created great value for us through your high level of methodological and process competence, and have thus made an important contribution to the success of my areas of responsibility in the BAWAG P.S.K. Group. Throughout all projects and tasks, your working style is characterised by high intellectual and ethical integrity, humour and a clear business results orientation, which makes you one of the best consultants I have worked with in my career to date. I look forward to continuing our collaboration!

"I consulted Michael to help me in developing dissemination strategies for a new technology that was being developed over a couple of years and was then ready to be rolled-out globally atHarman Automotive Division. However, due to the new, revolutionary approach of that technology there were a couple of internal barriers and blocking factors to hop on the train. Michael very successfully helped to quickly identify and understand those barriers and to develop a highly efficient strategy to significantly improve acceptance of the new paradigm in product development. I can highly recommend Michael as an efficient consultant if you are faced with challenging situations in technology development processes."
