Our consulting services concentrate on selected topics in business communication. This involves practical implementation of the SUCCESS Rules, such as clear messages, uniform notation, and clear structure.

We support companies and organizations in redesigning and improving their reporting and help them benefit from our extensive experience with MS Office. Our focus is always on the most suitable business solution for each individual company – we are a consulting firm, not a software company.

If the content is conveyed in written form, we refer to reports, if the information is conveyed in the form of a speech, we refer to presentations. In both reports as well as presentations, exhibits serve to convey messages, and so-called dashboards facilitate comprehension of complex interrelations.

Management reports
H+P began its work with this subject. And in this instance, expert and senior management in Controlling and Finance were usually the people with whom we were in contact. "So That Reports Actually Report Something" would be a provocative way to paraphrase this subject. But, many reports simply don't "report" anything, and they would be better called statistics. Today we also work in other business segments, such as sales and HR, and reports on external data, such as market analyses and comparisons of companies, are also a focus of our work. More...

Business presentations
Business presentations became the second focus of the consulting and training activities at H+P. We are not only involved in internal company presentations, but also in presentations for management consultants and software companies. With open and in-house seminars, we present the rules for the structure of the content of a presentation and for the understandable visualization of messages. More...

Exhibits
Exhibits (PowerPoints, "slides") are an important component of many management reports and business presentations. Exhibits can help explain facts, but they are not supposed to serve as the speaker's crib sheets during presentations. We like to quote the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words," but this does not apply in the majority of pictures used in business presentations: In those cases, one needs a thousand words to explain the PowerPoints displayed.

Dashboards
Whereas exhibits in presentations (and in reports) should serve to convey a clear message, the aim of dashboards is to present a complex business situation in a transparent manner. Here, an overview should be conveyed to observers as quickly as possible – similar to a map. There are no messages in foreground here, rather the observers discover the critical deviations or the negative developments themselves based on their own experience. More...
