What aspiring management consultants need to know about business models, change management and controlling

‍

• Business models: They require a keen sense of customer value, revenue logic and resource allocation. You assess whether a model fits the market, the target group and the existing capabilities. Business plans, the choice of legal structure and financing models—from bootstrapping and grants to investors—determine whether an idea is actually realistic.

‍

• Change management: In this area, you support change from the initial planning stages through to embedding it within the corporate culture. It is often claimed that around 70 per cent of all change initiatives fail. A study published in the Journal of Change Management examined the common evidence for this figure and concluded that there is no valid empirical basis for it. A Business Strategy Consultant training course therefore shows you how to measure progress using clear metrics, involve stakeholders at an early stage and deal with resistance constructively.

‍

• Controlling: This provides the numerical basis for decision-making. Strategic controlling focuses on market position, potential for success and long-term direction, while operational controlling manages day-to-day business through KPIs, budgeting and variance analysis. This is complemented by project, research and procurement controlling. This allows you to evaluate strategies based on verifiable facts rather than gut feeling.

‍

AI management and digital business modelling: Successfully establishing data-driven strategies in companies

‍

As a Business Strategy Consultant, you oversee digital business models and AI projects from the initial idea to economic evaluation. This involves three key core areas:

‍

• Digital business models: You develop concepts, test them against actual user behaviour using UX design and prototyping, and classify them in a structured way using the DVC framework.

‍

• AI strategy and governance: AI projects also bring the question of accountability into play. Under Article 4 of the EU AI Act, companies must ensure that employees who develop or use AI systems possess sufficient AI literacy, regardless of the size of the organisation. Data ethics, data protection and governance are therefore an essential component of any AI strategy. You will learn how to prioritise projects, assess risks and build an AI team.

‍

• Market demand and implementation: The demand for skilled professionals is growing significantly. According to the Federal Statistical Office, 26 per cent of companies in Germany were already using AI technologies in 2025, rising to 57 per cent for businesses with 250 or more employees. This creates a clear task for you: to combine technical possibilities, economic benefits and regulatory requirements into a strategy that the company can actually implement.
