Strategic communications consulting

Strategic communications consulting

Feldhaus & Partner offers a full portfolio of strategic communications counselling – from critical analysis to the development and implementation of adequate communication concepts and solutions. The focus of the consulting is on initial situations, transactions, integration and restructuring as well as upheavals, transformations, special events and crisis situations.

Feldhaus & Partner works for individuals in business, politics, and cultural/social institutions as well as for companies (both private and listed), organizations, foundations or associations.

Consulting and support services are individualized and personal, and – as an agency without hierarchies – efficient and flexible. Independence, transparency, and confidentiality are a matter of course.

Strategic ethics consulting

The owner of the agency offers a full range of strategic advice on practical ethical issues. What is responsible action or non-action in a specific case? How do you arrive at ethically justified judgements and decisions? The main topics of ethical reflection are the areas of sustainability and medicine or questions of health care.

This form of ethics consultancy deals with principles and criteria of responsible decision-making as well as the processes and organizational forms of implementation. The offer is aimed at decision-makers in business, politics, cultural and social institutions as well as at companies (both private and listed), local and regional governments, organizations, foundations and associations.

The advice and support are individualized and personal. Independence, transparency, and confidentiality are a matter of course.
