Anrok focuses on consulting services for holistic corporate development. Our target groups are board members, top management and owners of companies who want to take their organization to the next level of development and navigate successfully through the digital age.
We see ourselves as a neutral impulse generator and inspiring companion that enables companies to set the right course and achieve the set goals. We can look back on decades of experience and have a large network of partners to complement our services.
Due to our varied experience in a wide variety of roles, we think and act very entrepreneurially. In our approach we always keep a balance between structure and pragmatism. In every project we ask ourselves: „What would we do if it were our company and our money?“
