Added Value
COX creates clarity in complex initiatives and effectively brings together strategy, organization, product, and change. We listen carefully, ask the decisive questions, and provide constructive, critical sparring at eye level.
In doing so, we combine methodological excellence with many years of practical experience and a clear stance. Our goal is not to create concepts that end up in a drawer, but sustainable solutions that are implemented and deliver real impact.
Competitive Strength
Leading organizations trust COX because we connect what others keep separate. We combine strategic, business, legal, and psychological perspectives into a consulting approach that creates clarity and enables implementation.
Consulting, leadership development, and coaching work seamlessly together. This creates solutions that strengthen organizations holistically — scientifically grounded, practically effective, and consistently implementable. As a boutique consultancy, we work with a well-coordinated team and a shared signature approach. Our clients experience reliability, quality, and implementation strength — regardless of who accompanies them.
Success Is No Accident: Management Consulting as a Trailblazer
If you are looking for a constructively critical view of your strategy or your organization and need effective measures instead of monster processes, then we are the right people for you. We question, listen and persistently do everything we can to find a collaborative solution. We guarantee this through a high level of methodological expertise and experienced teams of consultants.
Charting the Course to Success Together
We are flexible when it comes to collaboration: whether 100% digital, hybrid or on-site, we are guided by your wishes. When we work together, you can expect intensive sparring with your management team – we are not your typical consultants. We listen carefully to where the problems lie and bring clarity to your project. Even if it is uncomfortable, we hold a mirror up to you. In the end, we work in partnership with you to develop solutions that work.
If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. (Einstein)
Project process

1
Understand
Our advisory process is designed to understand. “Listening to understand” is our credo. Only when we have really understood what it is all about – what the challenge is and what the goal is – do we get started.
2
Advised
We see ourselves as companions, enablers and supporters. If necessary, we will also challenge you. We work collaboratively and on an equal footing because we are convinced that the best solutions are often developed collectively.
3
Accompany
This is how we ensure that we develop YOUR solution. A perfect fit – a one-off that fits like a tailor-made suit. We don’t believe in standardized off-the-shelf products.
4
Enable
We want to empower and support you, your management team and your team members. Right from the start – so that the solution has a lasting effect – even when we are no longer there.
FAQ

How does COX differ from other management consulting firms in Austria?
COX is one of the few boutique consulting firms in Austria that combines strategic, business, legal, and psychological expertise under one roof. We don’t rely on standard templates; instead, we work with each client to develop a customized solution – on an equal footing, without cumbersome processes.
Does COX also provide support during implementation, or only during strategy development?
Both. That is, in fact, one of our key differentiators: COX doesn’t just guide you through the conceptual phase – we stay by your side throughout the implementation. Our goal is to empower your team in a sustainable way so that the solutions we develop continue to work even after the project ends.
What exactly does “consulting on an equal footing” mean at COX?
That means: no consultant jargon, no off-the-shelf frameworks imposed on you. We develop solutions together with your executives in intensive brainstorming sessions. You know your company – we bring the methodology and an outside perspective.
Can Consulting be combined with Training or Coaching?
Yes. At COX, Consulting, Training and Coaching complement each other effectively. Coaching can deepen development programs, support change processes, or help individual leaders apply new insights to their day-to-day work.
What exactly does COX do in the consulting sector?
COX supports individuals and companies through change processes and works with clients to develop strategies, courses of action, and target positions. The consulting focus is on strategy development, organizational development, and change management. Solutions are not imposed as standardized templates, but are tailored to the organization, its systems, and the people involved.
How does a consulting project work at COX?
The project process is structured around four steps: Understanding, Consulting, Supporting, and Empowering. The first step focuses on listening carefully and fully grasping the challenge, followed by the collaborative development of appropriate solutions. COX then supports the implementation and aims to empower leadership teams and organizations so that the impact is sustained over the long term.
Can COX help with organizational development and reorganization?
Yes, COX supports organizations in implementing tailored and holistic changes to their structures, culture, and governance. This includes, for example, establishing new organizational structures, designing roles and processes, and providing guidance during reorganizations and corporate succession planning. According to its services page, COX brings extensive expertise to these efforts, particularly in complex or conflict-ridden situations.
Does COX also provide support during change processes and cultural transformation?
Yes, change management is one of COX’s three core consulting areas. The company supports both proactively initiated changes and adjustments to new conditions, such as cultural shifts, restructurings, or mergers. In this context, change is viewed as a collaborative project that is planned and implemented using process-oriented expertise.
How does COX differ from traditional consulting firms?
COX emphasizes that it is not a typical consulting firm with standardized, massive processes, but rather offers a constructive and critical perspective, intensive cooperation, and collaborative brainstorming. The teams listen closely, ask probing questions, reflect back even uncomfortable points, and work on solutions as equals. This results in a consulting approach that is more partnership-based and focused on implementation.
