We are proud to be honoured as 'Best Consultants' for the seventh time in a row. This time we have received awards in seven categories. Since 2014, the research company Statista, in cooperation with brand eins magazine, has examined the consultancy market annually to determine the best.

We say thank you! Being one of the best consulting firms in Germany is not something we take for granted. On the one hand, we would like to thank our clients for their cooperation and for valuing our work and trusting us. But of course, this would not be possible without our AXXCON team. They are all responsible for the quality of consulting we provide every day.

Expert evaluations and recommendations from clients are the basis of Statista's annual survey, which is equally interesting for client and consulting firms.

AXXCON supports clients in successfully implementing their business transformations. We bring years of experience and a high level of expertise in the areas of digital, IT and organisational transformation.

We are delighted to have been awarded the title of 'Best Consultants 2021' in the following seven categories: We are represented in the energy & environment and insurance sectors. In addition, we were selected in the consulting fields of change management, IT strategy, digitalisation, innovation & growth, and interim management. We achieved very good rankings for the topics of energy & environment and change management, which places us on a par with consultancies such as McKinsey & Company and Accenture.
