In the course of our projects, we pursue only approaches that reflect the specific situations and objectives of our clients in an optimal way. We thoroughly assess our recommendations in regard to their beneficial impact and practicability.
Always directing our attention to applicability, T. K. HAMANN generates new knowledge and develops innovative approaches—based on highest international scientific standards. Therefore, we are commonly perceived as thought leaders in our spheres of action.
Typically, we work very closely together with various experts in their respective fields. This allows us to provide exactly the capabilities that are required to ensure maximum success of our projects. Furthermore, the consultants we deploy boast outstanding wealth of practical experience and seniority.
Our major concern is maximizing the performance capability of our clients. We achieve this by strictly adhering to our values.
For the 7th time in a row, we are ranked among the best management consultants, especially for the following industry sectors and functional areas:
The 2026 ranking is based on the responses of 2,191 consultant colleagues (partners, principals, project managers) and a total of 1,697 clients (e.g., senior executives such as heads of strategy, head of business development at DAX, M-, S- and Tec-DAX companies). The ranking is compiled annually by the business magazine brand eins and the data portal statista.
At the 2025 Best of Consulting Awards, T. K. HAMANN won second place in the “Automotive & Manufacturing Industry Winner” special category. This award is the result of a collaboration between the German Association of Management Consultancies (BDU), the Association of Internal Management Consultants (AIM) and the German business magazine WirtschaftsWoche. Project presentations and client surveys are evaluated in a single- or two-stage process by a jury or an advisory board and jury, depending on the category. Four equally weighted criteria are used: content, communication, real-world impact, and client satisfaction.
By combining precision with focus on integrity and increases in sustainable value, maximum performance capability can be achieved—for both clients and consultants. Our main concern is to sustainably improve our clients’ performance capability and competitiveness; this is why we rely on an exchange of expertise and methodological know-how based on intense cooperation with our clients. We draw on creative and unconventional approaches that can be characterized by a systematic recombination of varied elements from different professional fields.
In our recommendations we put the highest emphasis on their long-term impact on value; because of this we always look for and analyze unintended side effects and never sacrifice long-term future robustness for short-term successes. This requires holistic reflections that we implement through our highly-interdisciplinary approach and by considering different perspectives. Irrespective of currently ‘trendy’ topics, we focus on long-term consequences, identify future challenges in good time, and articulate strategies that are built upon these considerations into specific measures that can easily be implemented in daily business.
Our work results are distinguished by the highest quality at all times. We adhere to scientific principles and take the latest scientific insights into account. At the same time, we always keep sight of their relevance and usefulness in practice. Our statements and recommendations are clear, not sugarcoated, and critically-assessed with respect to their feasibility—a ‘no nonsense’ approach.
Utmost discretion and the highest professional behavior are deeply ingrained in our DNA. We put the interests of our clients above our own (‘client first’). Nevertheless, this does not mean we tell them what they want to hear, but stand firmly behind our independent opinion—in the best interest of the client. We avoid any kinds of conflicts of interests, e.g. accepting similar projects for a competitor of one of our clients.
Interdisciplinary cooperation between high-caliber specialists in their respective fields of expertise becomes more and more important.
