Small Scale makes invisible work visible.
Small Scale is a deliberately small consultancy for SMEs across the DACH region. Process transformation, BPM, and GRC, with methods that live in operational reality, not on deck slides.
How Small Scale came to be.
Small Scale came out of an observation that became impossible to ignore, across three decades in management and IT leadership roles, in organisations with operationally critical processes. Environments where a badly handed-off operation stops delivery.
The pattern was always the same: the tools are not the problem. The problem is knowledge that lives only in one head, the exception that became the rule, the workaround nobody documented, the colleague you just happen to ask.
Conversations with SMEs in Switzerland and the DACH region confirmed that pattern, with higher stakes. Smaller teams, less redundancy, less room for a failed ERP or CRM rollout.
Small Scale is the answer. A deliberately small consultancy. One senior on every engagement. One focus: make visible what used to live in heads, and hand it over so it stays.
Three decades in management and IT leadership in organisations with operationally critical processes. Always the same picture: good teams don't fail on the tools, they fail on unwritten knowledge.
Conversations with SMEs in Switzerland and the DACH region show the same picture, with higher stakes. Smaller teams, less redundancy, less room for a failed ERP or CRM rollout.
Small Scale is set up as a deliberately small consultancy for SMEs in the DACH region. One senior on every engagement. Methods that are repeatable, measurable, and handoverable.
Based in Basel. Engagements in English and German. No growth target, the size is the product.
Small Scale isn't for everyone.
Every consultancy fits somewhere. Small Scale fits here, and explicitly not there. Sorting that out early saves both sides time.
- 01 You have 50–500 employees.
- 02 You're facing an ERP/CRM/AI rollout or an audit.
- 03 You want ownership over your processes, no lock-in.
- 04 You value few, strong deliverables over deck weight.
- 01 You want an armada of junior consultants.
- 02 You need technology implementation, not process foundation.
- 03 You want benchmarks from 500 client projects.
- 04 You want vendor dependence as a strategy.
Four commitments. Non-negotiable.
One senior. Always.
The person you meet is the person who does the work. No pitch-trojans, no swap after sign-off.
Ownership stays with you.
Source files, templates, decision logs, everything leaves with you. We build so you can keep building.
Public templates. Clear deliverables.
You know what you get before the first call. Scope and deliverables are public. Pricing we clarify in the scoping call, based on your actual scope.
Show the work, no logo wall.
Instead of NDAs and reference theatre, we show the artefact itself. Redacted, but real.
Small Scale delivers with one senior per engagement.
