Why IWCI

Neutral. Blunt. From practice.

Consultants sell follow up work. Researchers deliver tables. Your own team is too close. IWCI has no interest in a particular result. Only in the right one.

NeutralNo software, no agency services, no junior teams. No preferred outcome.
BluntWe name problems instead of softening them. Including the uncomfortable ones.
From practiceBoard and managing director mandates since 2012. Every recommendation has to survive the Monday after.

Dominic Multerer
The founder

Led by its founder. Not by a partner circle.

“I have seen too many strategies fail on reality. That is why IWCI starts with reality.”
