We, Derk, Georg and Paul, developed WeltWert® as a new approach to help clients navigate the increasingly complex business world. Geopolitical developments, ever-faster technological progress, complex regulatory and compliance issues, and climate-induced disruptions require a new level of agility in consulting that can only be achieved in working closely together. We call our approach co-navigation, which represents a fundamental departure from traditional consulting approaches. An approach that creates value for our clients – and for the world.
Why working with WeltWert®?
Our value lies in navigating together with clients; very much the way a pilot assists a captain sailing through complex waters. Our expertise spans from diplomacy, regulation, compliance, law making and technology to strategy development, and we start the journey with our clients looking at their world through a geopolitical lens. Assessing the impact of the broader picture on the interests and specific needs of our clients is the foundation of what we offer. And we have the capabilities and the network to build tailor-made strategies in collaborative dialogue with our clients on the basis of that foundation.
WeltWert® is dedicated to creating meaningful value. Understanding our clients’ unique concerns and working alongside them to develop solutions they feel they own is the best way to ensure the strategies developed are aligned with their core values and objectives.
A shared journey builds trust and ensures that the outcome is genuinely suited to the client’s context. Co-navigation embodies “togetherness,” which is vital in today’s complex world. It is a commitment to partnership rather than mere advice.
A journey with WeltWert® starts with understanding current threats and risks, such as cyber-attacks, the effects of climate change, and geopolitical conflict. Next, we work collaboratively with our clients (i.e., companies, governmental or civil society organizations) to enhance resilience and look for challenges that might be turned into opportunities. Businesses can strategically adapt processes to mitigate risks and seize new opportunities, while governments can employ legislative and policy strategies to bolster societal security and resilience, market security and promote public-private cooperation.
Our expert pool:
We are operating as a strong core team of three senior consultants in the areas of public policy, diplomacy, digital industry, regulation, cybersecurity and geopolitics. When needed, we will draw on our network of experts to cover complementary areas.
How to engage with us:
As a first step, we engage with our clients in a half-day seminar to jointly analyze the challenges ahead and explore how these challenges impact their business. Next, we jointly develop concrete approaches and scenarios to address the identified issues.
“You could translate WeltWert® as “world value”. It stands for the value we offer to our clients, and to the world. With our insights and our co-navigation approach we aim to bring value to private, public and civil society organizations. The world is full of challenges and there are many who provide advice how to deal with them. With our approach we work closely with our clients to arrive at actionable results they believe in. This is why we want to know the people we are dealing with. We want to know their concerns and together develop options they are comfortable with. Because they are the ones that know best what suits their companies or their organizations best. Co-navigation means sailing together, navigating complexity together. A joint effort in mapping the course, in which our client remains the captain of the ship.
DERK OLDENBURG
“When you see WeltWert®, you might wonder what it’s all about, and you’ll probably have various associations come to mind. You could google the term, ask knowledgeable friends, or ask ChatGPT. Let me explain the mystery and introduce you to our value proposition. WeltWert® was developed by the three of us as an umbrella brand, combining our diverse backgrounds and professional experiences that makes our offering unique. The combination of diplomacy and Brussels legislation, our academic background and our strategic insights, our hands-on experience in regulation and compliance and our jointly developed view of the challenges through the lens of geopolitics help our customers navigate the increasingly complex business world. We call our approach co-navigation, which represents a radical departure from traditional consulting approaches. We act as a guide, exploring a complicated path into uncharted territory together with our customers and we don’t stop after delivering a solution to a client in the form of a deck of PowerPoint slides.”
GEORG SERENTSCHY
“WeltWert® stands for bringing value to the world and respecting the value of our world. We are almost daily challenged to deal with geopolitical conflict, climate change, and technological disruption. This holds for companies and for governments and even for our personal lives. As WeltWert®, we take understanding of the challenges and threats to value and values as our point of departure. Think of cyber-attacks or disruptions of global supply chains. We then need to understand how companies and governments can strategically respond to these challenges. For example, by increasing their risk management capabilities or adapting their processes for increased resilience and turning challenges into opportunities for innovation. We then work with you to map out a path into this future of uncertainties. We propose to co-navigate these challenges and risks. You own the way forward. It must fit your organization and objectives. Our aim is to improve business and government. For a better world, a world that we value and that values us.
