At expertpowerhouse we focus on mid- to long-term projects, i.e. projects from a couple of days up to several months. Our consultants typically help with interviews, support in pitches or even complement the project team, depending on the specific needs of the project. Consultants support either directly on the ground, remotely via phone or online conferences, or with a combination of both. There are no limitations regarding the expertise required for the project.

Our consultants & experts have an outstanding professional careers and often 10–30+ years of experience. All our experts have comprehensive experience in a specific field of expertise. This can be a technical or functional specialization (e.g. “system dynamics modelling”) and/or an industry or regional specialization (e.g. “automotive” or “public sector”). Besides those senior experts, we also provide more junior and hands-on professionals with a specific expertise or consulting background to support your team on the ground.

We take care of all administrative tasks and paperwork to ensure that you and the expert can fully focus on the project. Among others, this includes the recording of time and expenses and the necessary approvals as well as managing the full invoicing and payment process. We provide all required and tax-relevant documents. Also, we have regular touch-points with the expert and you to ensure a smooth collaboration. expertpowerhouse can also take on a mediator role, if desired.

expertpowerhouse requires a project brief. The more detailed the project description the better and more targeted the results. The description should include a summary of the project, ideal background of the expert, kind of expertise required, work duration and type of work (calls vs. full time on-the-ground support). It is also helpful if you indicate the seniority level you are looking for (junior hands-on vs. senior advisor). You can request an consultant via the homepage or via the email:
