A diverse spectrum of expertise

Bayer Business Consulting is involved in a wide range of projects in the Bayer Group and develops strategies and solutions for almost all organizational units. Our working atmosphere is geared to sustainable and long-term collaboration. Our approach is very similar to that of external consultants. The main difference is that we have a deeper insight into the structure and methods of the Bayer Group. We also have an especially close and trustful relationship with our customers in the Bayer Group, and are closely involved in the sustainable realization of programs and strategies. Sometimes we compete with external consultancies, and sometimes we work on projects in collaboration with them. In such cases, each partner plays a different role, contributing specific expertise to ensure the success of the project.
