SPECIALIST PROJECTS. SHARED PURPOSE.

Different projects.
One economic logic.

Make complex value easier to understand,
evaluate and act on.

Internally, through better decisions about costs, planning and pricing. Externally, through clear expertise, credible evidence and relevant visibility.

02 / WHY THE PROJECTS BELONG TOGETHER

Good controlling was
never just cost cutting.

Cost transparency supports pricing. Pricing connects costs to value creation. Making that value understandable connects the inside of a business with its position in the market.

INSIDE THE BUSINESS

Is this a sound decision?

Make costs, planning assumptions and pricing logic transparent enough to evaluate their economic impact.

The result: a reliable basis for action.

IN THE MARKET

Is this the right expert?

Make specialisation, evidence and problem fit clear enough for decision-makers to assess relevant competence.

The result: a credible basis for selection.

“Internally, I reduce uncertainty about costs, planning and pricing. Externally, I reduce uncertainty about who is the right expert for a problem.”

Gunnar Schlüter

Industrial engineering. Economic clarity. Credible expertise.

My background combines industrial controlling at Vibracoustic, Product-Costing consulting at FACTON and independent consulting since 2015.

I work on defined specialist problems, connected by one way of thinking: make complex economic value understandable and useful. My 1999 industrial-engineering thesis already explored marketing B2B services on the internet.
