What Dr. Niehoff has to say about us:

„Open Innovation is an indispensable key for all kinds of innovation in our fast-changing times. OMIND consulting, an agile and very competent team around Dr. Aurelia Engelsberger, starts exactly here. Open Innovation is taught in a very practical way and the process is accompanied from the first brainstorming to the practical implementation in the company very professionally and with a lot of enthusiasm. The company’s employees are at the center of OMIND consulting and I can only recommend it to everyone to embark on the journey together with Dr. Engelsberger and her team in order to stay on top of the times with the help of Open Innovation and to constantly develop further in the digital age.“
