Prof. Dr. Dietmar Fink and Bianka Knoblach are guiding the scientific administration of Top Consultant. Their judgment decides who may carry the seal, a mark of quality. Together, they are leading the “Scientific Community for Management and Consulting” (WGMB) in Bonn, Germany. Via compamedia’s assignment, the WGMB interviews customer references and evaluates these results, along with other data of medium-sized businesses. The seal is only awarded, if a business consulting firm scores a “good” or “very good” result. This year, 96 firms in total have received the sought-after distinction. Prof. Dr. Dietmar Fink points to the transparency that the seal establishes: “The business consulting market is saturated and breeds consultants with dubious qualifications time and again. Top Consultant distinguishes professionals, who have provided customers with demonstrably excellent service. The seal therefore serves as a significant orientation-aid in a market that is difficult to assess.”
