Logo Berinfor AG

Berinfor is a management consulting company with offices in Zurich (CH) and Cologne (DE). We have been advising and supporting the management of universities, libraries and other higher education providers for over 20 years. We specialize in management and governance of strategy development, organizational change and the implementation of digitally-supported services, as demonstrated by more than 300 successfully completed projects in the higher education sector.

Our clients value the combination of management and consulting expertise with hands-on experience that we offer. Berinfor consultants have a wealth of project management experience in various higher education settings. Our holistic approach is not limited to strategy development: We also implement organizational change, providing project management and stakeholder communications to create lasting impact.

We remain independent from vendors and products to provide neutral advice for our clients. We offer seamless solutions for our customers relying on a transparent network of professional partners. We provide robust contributions to the optimization of client processes, working side-by-side with internal specialists and departments.

The basis of our work is a consistent set of methods, which account for the balance of deliberate strategy and emergent impulses that is typical for higher education providers. The Berinfor Management Model for Higher Education has been published in book form. As a contribution to the higher education management community, we host an annual event for leaders in the higher education and corporate training space.

We strongly believe management and governance in higher education ultimately serve the achievement of scientific goals and academic values. Our clients share this desire for excellence in research, learning and administrative services.
The Berinfor portfolio includes universities, colleges and other institutions of higher education in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. We also advise and support institutes of scientific research, libraries and corporate education providers of various sizes. Our need-based approach allows flexible scaling of resources and expertise according to size, duration and type of mandate
