Across many projects, we see the same pattern: more coordination, more speed, more tools & still less clarity.
Paul Sautter | Senior Consultant
Many projects do not fail dramatically. They gradually lose clarity. Decisions take longer, coordination increases, and risks are identified too late.
This is not an exception:
Only around 30% of projects are considered successful in terms of time, budget and objectives (PMI / Standish Group)
Over 70% of project issues are caused by decision-making and coordination structures — not by technology (McKinsey & Company)
With each additional year of project duration, cost overruns increase by an average of 15% (University of Oxford / Bent Flyvbjerg)
These patterns appear across industries and organisations — independent of size, budget or methodology.
Our Contribution: Providing Orientation.
Consulteer supports executives and project leaders where technology, organisation and people interact simultaneously – and where classical project management reaches its limits.
We work with organisations in the public sector, industry, infrastructure, and defence & security to realistically assess complex initiatives and restore decision-making capability.

Our Consulting Approach.
Providing orientation for decisions in complex situations.
We support executives and project leaders in:
correctly assessing complex situations
realistically shaping decision spaces
adapting governance and steering to the context
The CKI is not an end in itself, but a starting point for better decisions.
Three Dimensions of Complexity.
Technology
Architectures, dependencies, interfaces, maturity levels – technical systems are rarely isolated.
Organisation
Governance, decision paths, responsibilities, processes and interfaces between units.
People
Interests, expectations, communication, trust and informal power structures.
Structuring Complexity.
With the Consulteer Complexity Index (CKI).
The Consulteer Complexity Index makes visible where complexity actually arises within an initiative – across technological, organisational and social dimensions.
Instead of treating symptoms, the CKI creates a shared and robust understanding of the situation. As a foundation for sound decisions and context-appropriate steering.
Project Health Check.
A solid entry point into complex projects.
When projects become unclear, another tool doesn’t help.
The Project Health Check assesses your initiative and makes risks, dependencies and decision blockages visible.
As a basis for sustainable decisions – structured, pragmatic and confidential.
Creating Clarity together.
Complex projects cannot be managed with quick answers. What they need is a shared understanding of the situation.
In the Project Health Check, we assess your initiative, make risks and dependencies visible and create a solid foundation for informed decisions.Without actionism. With a clear focus on what matters.
Let’s create clarity together.
