Lifetime, complete experience

I deal with local development strategic governance as a consultant, scientist, lecturer and member of local authorities since 1994. Therefore, my knowledge, competence and experience in this field are rich, consistent and complete.

Broad, constantly expanded knowledge

I am a habilitated doctor of management sciences and a doctor of economic sciences, but I am still hungry for knowledge and constantly expanding it at conferences, trainings, in conversations with my colleagues and by reading professional publications and legal acts.

Proprietary methods and patents

I am the author of new, including patented methods of analysis, planning and evaluation used in construction and implementation of local development strategies. Therefore, I have and offer what competitors do not have and what gives success to my colleagues and partners.
