Profile

Quickly bringing structure to situations others find impenetrable.

Clients mainly ask for support in solving and realising out-of-the-ordinary IT-related challenges and projects. The field of work includes international reorganisations, large programmes, data centre consolidations and the outsourcing of IT activities.

The approach combines synthesis and analysis: first understand the whole, then make the problem manageable. The result is a solution that is not only logical, but also fits the organisation.

“The wheel does not need to be reinvented every time, but it does need to be made to fit — and fixed in place so that it works and stays on.”

Reference to Marcus Aurelius and Stoic inspiration

Philosophy

Back to the original values of professional service.

After more than sixteen years working for listed American companies, the conviction grew that consultancy should once again focus on the client's interests, the long term, and sustainably steering towards strategic goals.

The name Aurelius refers to Marcus Aurelius. The connection with Stoic principles lies in decisiveness, independence, self-confidence and responsible action.
