Fun Facts
The history of ProgressMaker®
We are a young company based in Hamburg with colleagues all over the world. Since 2019, our founders Matthias Kolbusa (concentrated consulting experience in strategy and change) and Florian Hellberg (a powerhouse for technology and IT) and Alexander Bose (expert in strategy development and implementation) have been combining their expertise to create a comprehensive platform for tool-supported implementation and progress management.
“Most organizations can do much more than they think they can. The way to get there is not more of the same, but a different way of thinking and managing.”
