Sandro Haußig, Founder and CEO“Too often, we see market competitors develop brilliant goals and strategies on polished slides, only to find that they are impractical given the client’s actual situation. When it comes to execution, the organisation then struggles to transform theory to daily life practice.” The missing link here is the alignment between the envisioned goals, the current reality and the strategy. Employees quickly notice this disconnection, often leading to failure.
ProCon-Experts was established to bridge these gaps and drive positive business development. To achieve this, it tailors holistic solutions that incorporate change management components, ensuring targeted and sustainable transformations.
The process typically begins with in-depth interviews, often even before the official start of the engagement, to fully understand the client’s objectives, needs and challenges. From these discussions, a customised approach is crafted. Through intensive dialogue about the strategy and close collaboration with the client, along with securing their approval, ProCon-Experts ensures top management’s commitment and builds a solid foundation for all subsequent actions. This guarantees planning and execution security for both the client’s organisation and the interim manager.
“We measure the success of an engagement together with the client,” explains Haußig. This involves aligning expectations with measurable outcomes, ranging from key performance indicators to the overall sentiment within the customer organisation.
To consistently meet its own high standards, ProCon-Experts focuses on qualitative growth within its own team and targets projects that offer space for enjoyment, growth and success. “This approach ensures that we can truly make a difference. Only when you fully support an engagement, along with its surrounding variables, can you achieve great results. We explicitly do not engage in body leasing or maximising utilisation.” This philosophy also attracts a high number of qualified candidates and top talents for ProCon-Expert’s job openings. “The candidates we interview are usually highly motivated to work with us and eager to develop further. They often forget to ask about additional benefits and instead focus on convincing us to join our journey.”

ProCon-Experts’ approach has proven successful in practice. In one engagement, it took up the Interim IT Directorship for a leading European logistics service provider after successfully completing a project turnaround in advance. During this interim engagement, it stabilised the IT organisation and processes in a short time, implemented personnel measures in consultation with the client, and introduced a transparent performance management system. However, all of this was merely preparation for the development, alignment and implementation of the IT strategy, based on the parent company’s and the client’s overall strategy.
“We transformed IT into a true business partner, making the business aware that IT can do more than just server maintenance and incident management.” Specifically, the processing performance of logistics orders increased from 5,000 per day to 180,000 in just 15 minutes, enabled by automation and artificial intelligence. A great competitive advantage and an excellent basis for future growth.
ProCon-Experts’ vision for the future is clear; “to continue delivering high-quality services within our portfolio that create clear value for clients while fostering a positive work environment for our employees. By expanding our expertise across various industries, leveraging experience and knowledge to provide innovative solutions and consistently delivering on our promises, ProCon-Experts aims to solidify and expand its position as a leading provider in interim management.”
