Alexander Gruenwald
As an architect of change and bridge builder with over 15 years of experience, I develop innovative solutions for the public and private sector. My expertise ranges from the implementation of impact-oriented management systems to the introduction of progressive practices in participation, innovation and knowledge management as well as digitalisation and new work. Despite all my attention to detail, I never lose sight of the overarching goal.
I am your trustworthy and professional partner when it comes to reorganising structures, processes and services for the public sector and its partners. My services are flexibly customised to your individual requirements - from targeted consulting to the complete management of extensive projects. Supported by a diverse network of experts, I guarantee the targeted and efficient realisation of your projects, regardless of their size or complexity, throughout Europe.
An impact-orientated, participatory and innovative administration is the prerequisite for a strong democracy.
In my role as a head of department and policy officer, I have made a significant contribution to increasing efficiency and effectiveness in the Austrian federal administration. Through my work, which has taken me to numerous international organisations and European institutions, I have been able to learn from the best. As an international project evaluator, I was able to continuously hone my expertise based on global best practices.
The cross-sectoral exchange with stakeholders from science, business and civil society has proven to be essential for the implementation of complex initiatives. I am particularly proud of the founding and long-standing management of Austria's first innovation laboratory for the public sector. As a hub in the European innovation network, the lab and its dedicated team have realised several pioneering projects. In my consultancy work, I have supported numerous public institutions in the development and implementation of change projects.
My practical experience is also reflected in my academic work, where I have published white papers, manuals and articles, developed teaching materials and worked as a lecturer in the fields of performance management, innovation management, e-government and knowledge management. As a lecturer and speaker, I have been sharing my knowledge of effective, citizen-centred and innovative administration throughout Europe for many years. In addition, I have proven my talent for creating interactive and educational experiences by conceptualising and moderating events, including the largest innovation conference for the public sector in Austria.
Through the tailor-made implementation of projects in the focus areas of organisational management, change management and participation, I work with my clients on the central levers of a future-proof and sustainable public sector.
As an experienced consultant and project manager, I offer you specialised know-how in the fields of organisational development, steering mechanisms, innovation promotion, change management and participation. My expertise is based on the successful conception and realisation of pioneering projects in various policy fields. My scientifically sound and field-tested expertise enables me to develop tailor-made solutions for the individual challenges of your organisation. My extensive, internationally diversified network, formed through projects, publications, lectures and the organisation of high-calibre events, offers you access to a broad pool of contacts and specialist knowledge.
You are looking for a consultant, project manager and speaker who combines in-depth expertise with extensive practical experience and is dedication to innovation and public management? Then you've come to the right place! I look forward to working with you to unlock new potential and accompany your organisation on its journey.
