"The goal is to better support our clients in managing complex transformation situations and having the necessary key competencies in-house"
New business segment as part of the growth strategy of the German holding company / Human resources expert Tobias Kühr becomes Managing Director of Berndtson HR Consulting
Under the brand "Berndtson HR Consulting", the Berndtson Group, which acts as the holding company for the Odgers Berndtson companies in Germany, is now also offering human resources (HR)-related strategy and organization consulting. The focus of the consultancy is on projects at the interface between transformation and HR. The managing director of the newly founded company is Tobias Kühr, who previously worked for Deutsche Telekom, among others, and has over 20 years of professional experience in organizational design, transformation, HR and management consulting.
With this new business segment, the Berndtson Group is systematically expanding its range of consulting services and intends to continue its dynamic growth. Consulting for Transformation GmbH, which was launched in October of this year and operates under the Berndtson HR Consulting brand, offers a comprehensive range of services in transformation management. The products and services of the new Frankfurt-based company provide support both in complex transformation situations and along the entire HR value chain. These include, for example, the development and implementation of a functional HR strategy, the alignment of HR toward "customer centricity," HR support for corporate transformations, and the optimization of HR roles and products along the entire employee lifecycle.
For this purpose, Berndtson HR Consulting works closely with the other companies of the Berndtson Group and, if required, can draw on the services in the "Search" service line with the companies Odgers Berndtson Germany, 2-Steps-Ahead and Berndtson Interim. "The aim is to provide our clients with even better support in managing complex transformation situations and to have the necessary key competencies in-house," explains Peter Herrendorf, Managing Director of Berndtson Group, which acts as the holding company for the Odgers Berndtson companies in Germany. "We are very pleased that we were able to win Tobias Kühr, a very experienced manager and consultant, for the management of the new Berndtson HR Consulting," says Herrendorf. Already in the previous year, interim management activities were bundled and expanded from Odgers Berndtson under the Berndtson Interim brand. The Group's core business remains Executive Search, where Odgers Berndtson has been one of the leading companies worldwide for more than 50 years.
Tobias Kühr (43) was previously Managing Partner of ConMendo GmbH in Düsseldorf, where he supported various large corporations and medium-sized companies in complex transformations and HR projects for over ten years. Tobias Kühr began his career in the Deutsche Telekom Group, where he held various management positions in internal consulting, international organizational development in the USA and in the HR organization of Deutsche Telekom AG in Bonn.
"I am pleased to be able to bring my expertise and management experience to the Berndtson Group with immediate effect"
Tobias Kühr says. "At Berndtson HR Consulting, we are convinced that the individual products and services in a company's HR environment are mutually dependent and essential as enablers for any transformation. That's why we always develop solutions for our clients holistically - but above all, pragmatically and individually."
