“Our organizational structure is characterized by intentionally flat hierarchy levels. These provide all employees of the individual expert teams with short decision-making paths and the necessary flexibility and speed to be able to react to the rapidly changing requirements of our clients at short notice. At the same time, it enables us to react as quickly and as best as possible in the interest of our clients, both efficiently as well as effectively”
