About our Practice
Our Strategy Practice is the source of strategic excellence within accilium. Here, we combine analytical precision with entrepreneurial drive to support organizations through phases of fundamental change. We develop future-ready business models, identify and orchestrate strategic alliances, guide companies in their sustainable transformation, and build new ventures – or finance them through venture capital. We see ourselves not only as consultants, but also as sparring partners, co-builders, and co-creators. We live this approach internally as well: the Strategy Practice plays a key role in shaping accilium’s strategic development and translates our vision into concrete initiatives, impact, and growth.
Capabilities for Strategy
Business Modelling
“We develop future-ready business models and support management and executive boards in strategic make-or-buy decisions. From market analysis to value proposition design and implementation planning, we create clarity on where value is generated – and how it can be sustainably secured through innovation, partnerships, or investments.
Strategic Alliances
We support strategic partnerships in all phases – from identifying potential partners to structuring and setup, all the way through to post-merger integration. Our focus is on governance design and operating models that foster trust, transparency, and shared value creation – enabling alliances that are strategically effective and operationally sound.
Sustainability
We support companies in their sustainable transformation – whether driven by regulation or their own ambition. Through clear strategies, roadmaps, and metrics, we embed sustainability as a true value driver in the business model. Our ambition: to connect environmental responsibility, economic success, and societal impact.
Company Building
We design, launch, and scale new ventures – independently or together with partners. With entrepreneurial thinking, market access, and venture capital expertise, we create new value creation models and accelerate innovation. Our approach: from idea to successful market positioning, all from a single source. These efforts are driven in part through our dedicated venture arm, accilium ventures, which focuses on early-stage investments and building corporate ventures in mobility, energy & logistics.

“Strategies alone change nothing! Only when they are set in motion do they unfold their impact. Ideas are important, but worthless without consistent execution. I firmly believe that success is not a product of chance or luck, but of focus, discipline, and hard work. Nothing comes from nothing – those who want to shape the future must be ready to take action, assume responsibility, and persist, even when it gets uncomfortable.“
