Company History

Positioning
Enterprises are under pressure for change. Is the adaption fast and sustainable enough? Or does the realization reach a deadlock?

Vision & Philosophy
Vision
- Enterprises will accomplish innovation and change as the most important strategic task in order to remain competitive.
- Cooperation even overcoming company borders becomes the normal case. Integrative control
of interfaces will be the key competence. - We do not only use our competence in cooperative project management in order to ensure the
realization of change but we are also the innovative motor of this collaboration.
Philosphy
- We don’t draw colorful pictures but we assume responsibility
- We integrate into your organization and are no alien elements
- We activate your staff, support them and instruct them where necessary
- We roll up our sleeves and work along – sometimes we are “inconvenient”
- We conduct candid discussions and know how to listen. We admit our faults.
- We don’t adorn ourselves with borrowed plumes
- Any kind of grand entrance is not our style
Values
Our values are represented by our name. The name vero does not only stand for veracity,
but it is also an acronym for:
value – excellence – realization – outcome

Social Commitment

The Project Management Institute (PMI®) is the world’s largest organization for professional project management.
As early as 1988 PMI Frankfurt Chapter (PMIFC) was founded as the first organization in Europe.
Based on the initiative of Thomas Kopsch 2002 the Local Group Hamburg within PMIFC came into life. This very active group with ca. 400 members offers i.a. regular group meetings with professional lectures by highly qualified speakers of all lines of business and the public sector.
Thomas Kopsch is leader of the Local Group HH to the present day.
Trivia: Since the founding of the Local Group took place on Friday, September 13th 2002 the opening was scheduled for 13:13 h. This became a tradition and is kept until today.
In September 2012 the anniversary event was held under the motto “Ten Years PMI® in Hamburg – Project Management as Outline of a Profession”.

IT Management and Consulting, short ITMC, is the name of a degree course of the Hamburg University, Informatics Faculty.
Quote from the university’s web site:
“The new Masters Course IT-Management and -Consulting was formed by the Department of Informatics at the University of Hamburg in October 2010. The Course is run in cooperation with Hamburg’s Chamber of Commerce and with the support of renowned IT companies. The Masters Course IT-Management and Consulting (ITMC) is an application-oriented postgraduate Masters Course. 23 IT enterprises – the board of trustees – support and promote the Masters Course giving it a high practical relevance. This program is a novelty and a flagship of the Department of Informatics: University research paired with a strong focus on application.”

- internships for students at vero projects
- lectureship on project management held by Thomas Kopsch
- speeches and presentations, e.g. as part of the annual ITMC Conference
- collaboration in the board of trustees
