Top Executives in Germany have selected Barkawi Management Consultants as the consulting company with the highest competence in Supply Chain Management & Logistics. This is the result of a recent study of the German Institute for Management Research.

Barkawi Management Consultants is the most competent consultancy in the area of Supply Chain Management &
Logistics in Germany. The results of the study conducted by Professor Dietmar Fink from the German Institute for Management Research (DGMF Deutsche Gesellschaft für Managementforschung) show Barkawi Management Consultants as the number one company in that segment by far against companies such as Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey and Roland Berger. 80% of the top executives have ranked Barkawi as having high and very high competence in this segment. Barkawi
Management Consultants has been nominated a “hidden champion” of the consulting market in the study.
German top executives have also ranked Barkawi Management Consult-ants quite highly in the areas of Cost Reduction, Business Process Opti-mization and Operational Efficiency. Customers have evaluated Barkawi as being the number two player in the area of Operational Efficiency. More than 60% of the surveyed top executives have ranked the man-agement consultancy as having high and very high competence in that area. More than half of the surveyed managers have selected Barkawi Management Consultants as having high and very high competence in the field of Business Process Optimization resulting in a number three position.
The German industry gives Barkawi Management Consultants special praise for being highly competent in the areas of “Business Processes”, “Flexibility”, “Sensibility”, “Empathy” as well as for “being able to find a compromise and receptive to criticism”. In all of these areas Barkawi has been ranked in the top 3 of all management consultancies in Germany.
Karim Barkawi, Managing Partner of Barkawi Management Consultants, was very satisfied with the results: “I am very happy about our excep-tional results. It underlies our competence in our specific focus area of Supply Chain Management & Logistics in which we have a definite edge in intellectual capital. The very positive ranking in other more general areas such as Business Process Optimization and Cost Reduction shows that we were able to establish Barkawi Management Consultants as one of the top players in the German consulting market.”
More than 220 top executives were questioned for the study “Hidden Champions of the Consulting Market”. Professor Dietmar Fink, Managing Director of the German Institute for Management Research (DGMF Deutsche Gesellschaft für Managementforschung), evaluated the rela-tionship among medium-sized consultancies and market leaders such as Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey and Roland Berger.
