[ Public Markets × Procurement × Innovation ]
Public Sector Growth. Before the Tender.
I help you understand the Austrian public sector, spot market opportunities early, assess them properly and develop them systematically.
So you can decide where to invest, which opportunities to pursue and how to position yourself before the tender.
#firstnamebasis
Not more information. Better decisions.
[ Approach ]Public markets are complex. Budgets, political priorities, procurement, organisation and technology all move at the same time.
I connect these signals and translate them into one simple question:
What does this mean for your business?
My focus is not on maximum information, but on clear judgment and concrete decisions.
- 01Where do relevant business opportunities emerge?
- 02Which markets, accounts and opportunities are really attractive?
- 03When should you become active?
- 04How should you position yourself?
- 05Which opportunity to pursue — and which not?
Three stages. Clear outcomes.
[ Services ]For each stage you see: when you need it and what you get. For Grow, also what we need from you.
DISCOVER
Where should we play?
When you need it
- You are considering investing in the Austrian public sector
- You have first chance wins but no clear direction
- Budget and time should go where real potential lies
What you get
- Market assessment and opportunity landscape
- Prioritised accounts and segments
- Procurement intelligence from public data
- Strategic roadmap for the coming months
What changes

Your decision at the end
What do we pursue — and what deliberately not?
GROW
How do we build business?
When you need it
- You have first public customers and want to grow systematically
- Your pipeline looks fuller than it is
- Priority accounts are developing too slowly
What you get
- Account briefings and opportunity briefs
- Stakeholder intelligence
- Pipeline reviews with clear assessment
- Strategic sparring on positioning and next steps
What we need from you
- A prioritised product, topic or offering
- First target groups or accounts
- Existing references, use cases or assets
- Insight into existing contacts, pipeline or ongoing conversations
- Internal counterparts who make decisions and can act on them
How the advisory retainer works
- —Fixed rhythm: monthly review, bi-weekly if needed
- —Defined outputs per cycle: pipeline assessment, account and opportunity briefs
- —Concrete decision questions and prioritisation instead of an open agenda
- —A few clear success criteria — agreed together
- —You buy ongoing judgment and decision support, not unlimited consulting time
WIN
How should we play this opportunity?
When you need it
- A concrete opportunity is emerging
- The tender has not been published yet
- You only want to invest effort if the chance is realistic
What you get
- Opportunity assessment with an honest win probability
- Capture brief and capture plan
- Stakeholder mapping and concept review
- Bid readiness check
What changes
- A well-founded go/no-go decision
- Clear positioning before the tender
- Less effort on weak opportunities
Your decision at the end
Should we pursue this opportunity — and if so, how?
The advisory logic
Growth needs a starting point.
An advisory retainer works best when it is already clear which topic, offering or accounts should be developed. If this focus is still open, we build it together in Discover first.
That way market observation does not turn into an opportunistic "let's see", but into a solid growth logic.
The outcome for your business.
- ✓A more honest pipeline
- ✓Clearer priorities
- ✓More opportunities with a next step
- ✓Relevant conversations with the right people
- ✓More momentum on priority accounts and topics
- ✓Less effort on weak opportunities

Do you know which public organisations are currently investing in your field?
Field Intelligence
I observe the market where it takes shape.

I use these places to:

- —test hypotheses
- —observe new providers and partnerships
- —understand buyer-side needs
- —put changes in procurement logic into context
- —derive commercial consequences
