Advisory Concept

My consulting concept is based on different phases. Offer preparation and agreement with the interested company on an initial consultation Scope of services is determined including financial agreements. Targets are agreed annually at the beginning in a consulting plan. As a rule, after the first year a business development plan is drawn up and the consulting input is anchored in it Since I am working internationally, I am committed to an intensive study of the local conditions, geography, climate, cultures, legal framework and, if available, to contact Biodynamic Friends on site in preparation for the first visit. Before the first visit I always ask for the key data of the farm to get a first impression including the localisation via Google Earth to get an overview of the orientation of the farm.
