Carsten Deuster (56) will establish DZ-CON GmbH, an independent consulting and training company. The long-standing managing partner will leave SKM Consultants GmbH at the end of 2023, together with his team of direct reports, in order to independently offer tailor-made training and consulting services to existing and new customers in the future.

SKM continues to grow: Laura Plum has been working from our Düsseldorf office as a consultant since February 2023.

More and more companies are upgrading to a social intranet.
