Our team has worked with
What clients come to us with
Pick the situation closest to yours and see which product we start with.
Launching a new business or product
You have an idea for a business, product or service, but no clear picture of what sets it apart, how customers decide to buy, how big the market is and what price is fair.
Where we start
Startup Push
Sales fall short of the plan
Sales targets are missed again and again. You are not sure the sales and marketing teams work effectively or are paid fairly.
Where we start
Business Checkup
Marketing spend brings no new clients
Marketing costs money but does not help sell. It is unclear what marketers should do, how many you need and how to measure the return.
Where we start
Business Checkup
Growth has stalled
Annual goals exist only as sales and profit figures. Nobody knows which projects will reach them or what resources they need.
Where we start
Mindful Transformation
No strategy for what comes next
There is no answer to “What are we building, and what will the business look like in a few years?” and no plan for market shifts, new technology or a crisis.
Where we start
Wenger’s Mentoring Program
Chaos in the company
The team puts out fires every day. Processes are not described or automated, discipline is low, decisions do not deliver, profitability falls, some departments are bloated and others understaffed.
Where we start
Mindful Transformation
Nothing moves without a push, people leave
People work only for money. KPIs do not affect financial results, goals are set arbitrarily, replacing staff eats the budget and turnover stays high.
Where we start
Mindful Transformation
Consulting products
Four proprietary methods for diagnosing and solving the problems most businesses run into.
Business Checkup
A management audit of the business as it runs today.
The audit shows key barriers to growth, management problems, risk areas with potential losses, and the problems that are hidden or deliberately concealed.
Results
- Report describing the barriers and problem areas
- Step-by-step plan for removing them
Startup Push
For startups and companies launching a new project.
We assess whether the idea is viable, audit the team’s management potential, analyse the market and competitors, and help adjust project management.
Results
- Recommendations to improve the product or service
- Report on the business model’s potential, with changes to marketing and commercial strategy
- Recommendations to strengthen project management
- Work on group dynamics (optional)
Mindful Transformation
A full programme of systemic change across the company.
Our experts audit every business function and build a step-by-step change plan that involves every employee. Consultants implement it together with your top managers and staff, who learn management practice and get personal coaching along the way.
Results
- Sales growth
- Higher profit
- A team where every employee knows how their work affects business results

Services
5 principles of Wenger’s Mindful Management
Every management decision is conscious and has a clear, measurable goal.
Every action brings the expected result and moves the business closer to its main goal.
Every result is a fact to accept and understand, with one purpose: to move forward effectively.
Every result comes from the action or inaction of a specific person, not from events.
Any gap between the actual and the planned result is analysed, worked through and never repeated.

What clients say
Sergei Wenger’s approach is radically different from most. He doesn’t try to please you. His method is more like a swift band-aid removal, where it hurts at first, but then it’s much better.
Thanks to Sergei, we successfully changed our management approaches, including financial management, HR strategy, and implemented performance indicators and a new planning system.
Marta KushikCEO, Viviennne CorporationSergei Wenger worked with us from 2017 to 2021. His systematic approach and organizational structuring were crucial during the company’s rapid growth. We particularly want to highlight his high professionalism in establishing internal staff training within the company.
Kirill KhilkoPresident, KIVIThe strategic session on developing the mission and values became an explosive launch for us in forming a new corporate culture for Vertex Hotel Group. The developed ideas have been tested by the most serious challenge, time, and after almost two years they not only remain relevant but also continue to drive and unite the team.
Irina SedletskaCEO, Vertex Hotel GroupWe collaborated with Sergey Wenger in developing the marketing strategy and during the process, we identified several pain points in personnel management, communication, and engagement in the company’s development. We developed HR and communication strategies and focused on their implementation.
