Overview

next level holding GmbH is the Austrian parent entity behind the next level consulting brand, a DACH-focused professional services group that positions itself as a full-service provider for project management, process management, change management, agile management and artificial intelligence. The firm describes itself as a specialist and complete provider in these disciplines, combining consulting, training and certification, software and tools, and interim management under one roof. Its stated purpose is to accompany people and organisations in mastering complex situations, and its service architecture is organised around five expertise areas — #project, #process, #change, #agile and #ai — and four delivery formats: consulting, education and further training, software and tools, and interim management. The consulting practice is built around a team of more than 100 international experts with long-standing practical experience in industry, service companies, non-profit organisations and public administration. The firm's core market is the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), but it maintains locations in the United States, Singapore and Cape Town to serve globally active clients on the ground. Its headquarters is in Vienna, with additional offices in Cologne, Berlin, Munich, Salzburg, St. Gallen, Bratislava, Austin, Singapore and Cape Town. The company also works through international cooperation partners in project and process management and interim management. Beyond classic consulting, next level consulting operates a substantial education and certification business. Its training portfolio includes certification and re-certification programmes, courses and MBA offerings, digital learning, reality workshops and serious gaming, and AI-focused trainings. On the tooling side it offers project management tools, process management tools and a next AI Sandbox. For interim management it serves both interim managers and companies seeking interim leadership. The firm publishes knowledge and news content and hosts events such as pma focus and the PM-Summit, and it markets a service promise of responding to enquiries within one day and providing a trainer, consultant, coach or interim manager within three days. Leadership named publicly includes Wolfgang Rabl as CEO, Michael Müllner as Managing Partner & Group Sales, Sandra Schwendtner as COO, Alexander Peschke as Managing Director of next level solutions & Group Product Management, Gabriel N. Gassmann as Managing Director of next level consulting Switzerland, and Heiko Brackmann and Peter Minar as Managing Partners. The group is privately held; no stock exchange listing is indicated in the available evidence.
