Public Sector

“Public companies are to be managed exactly as private companies – or not? The somewhat different challenge for managers…”

Overview of all industries

Citizens are much more than customers, and the federal government, states and municipalities much more than shareholders. The requirements placed on managers and supervisory bodies in public sector companies are correspondingly demanding and broadly diversified. The challenge here is to master the balancing act between economic success and public service. At the same time, the balance between efficient processes and compromise-oriented dialogue with all relevant stakeholders must be maintained. And beyond that, to consider and justify the social, political and legal consequences of far-reaching decisions – far more so than in the free economy. An executive in the public sector must therefore manoeuvre confidently between numerous areas of tension and master the art of developing feasible visions.

“How do our cities remain liveable and affordable?”

Whether at the municipal level or the development of Smart Cities, for comprehensive initiatives or the filling of key positions in scientific institutions: the LAB Public Sector practice has extensive experience in these areas. We have been a successful service provider in filling executive and expert positions in the public sector, a moderator of critical personnel processes and sparring partner in strategic personnel decisions for more than 15 years.

“Who will provide for equal living conditions in the countryside?”
