USPs
1. Outstanding international TIMES Competence
Each Skillnet consultant works on a minimum of 25 projects per year and possesses an average work experience on more than 100 TIMES projects in the US, Asia and Europe. Furthermore, our many years of expertise are actively transferred from the partners to the consultants (partners perform approximately 80% project work).
2. Dedication to Value Creation
The strong impact of our work for more than 50 financial institutions and on 150 transactions since 1999 has helped to improve and sharpen our focus on creating value for our clients in all aspects of our work.

3. Special People
Skillnet managers and directors have previously worked in key positions for top international consultancies and market players before beginning their career with us. They have developed excellent managerial skills during an average of 10 years of professional experience. They decided to join Skillnet because of our company’s specific characteristics. Our consultants are above-average specialists with distinct soft skills, including high customer acceptance and the ability to assert themselves.
4. Seamless Combination of Management Consulting and Corporate Finance
Our extensive experience from both worlds provides Skillnet’s Management Consulting clients a better valuation because we always have their peer group valuation drivers in mind. In addition, we can deliver a shorter time to market by having potential “buy” options already at hand. Corporate Finance customers on the sell side automatically get our strategic view on their current situation and, thus, very often an “above peer group” valuation based on enhancements in their future business model.

5. High Level of Innovation
Skillnet’s entrepreneurial setup, high volume of TIMES projects per capita, and specialization generate a great deal of inspiration for innovative and customer-oriented new services, both in emerging as well as already saturated markets.
6. Speed
Thanks to our extensive TIMES expertise, we are not only able to charge our projects on fixed budgets, but also on success fees, based on well-defined tasks. Thus, we are able and have extra incentive to deliver high-quality work to our clients with maximum adherence to delivery dates.

7. German Engineering and Reliability
Going back to the days of Skillnet’s foundation, we believe in simple principles: delivery at the highest quality, on time, and on budget. These principles are mandatory for all of our projects and employees and are highly appreciated by our clients.
8. Attractive Price to Performance Ratio
According to our clients, Skillnet’s project budgets are extremely attractive regarding price to performance ratio. This is the case even though we rank among the top 5 consultancies with regard to "added value per consultant" (Booz & Company, Bain, A.T. Kearny, McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, source: Lünendonk). The reasons for this are our TIMES-only focus, our experienced consultants, and the high degree of efficiency in our processes.

9. Long Term Continuity
We have achieved 0% churn at the management and partner levels during the last decade (excepting instances of maternity leave). We believe in long term relationships and familiar teams, and we love what we do.
