Haselhorst Associates and H&Z are growing even closer. In August 2026, Haselhorst Associates GmbH was legally merged into H&Z Unternehmensberatung GmbH. The merger does not affect ongoing projects and clients. The people behind our projects and our long-standing client relationships, as well as our expertise, remain unchanged.
However, we are expanding the expertise available to you with our new business unit H&Z Performance & Restructuring.
After more than two decades as CRO, our founder, Dr Arno Haselhorst, is stepping down from day-to-day operations. On 1 October, he will move from his roles as managing director and partner to join the H&Z Advisory Board.
Corporate performance is under immense market pressure, which is also driving noticeable changes in management consulting. There is growing demand for partners who take end-to-end responsibility for performance – from in-depth analysis through robust strategies to successful implementation.
We have three important events coming up in April: the Annual Restructuring Conference and the Annual Municipal Utilities Conference, both organised by Handelsblatt, as well as a webinar on optimising overhead costs for private and public utility companies. We look forward to meeting you!
We invited our team to spend a winter weekend in a cabin in the mountains for the second year in a row. In the huge ski resort of Warth in Austria, we skied and hiked through the snow in fantastic weather.
The now fourth CRO Academy took place on 12 and 13 February at our premises in Starnberg. Like the day-to-day work of a CRO, it is designed to be demanding: in just two days, participants go through all phases of a CRO mandate. This means intensive work and efficient knowledge transfer.
