About Us
Our history
Founding ICME
Founded in 1954, ICME was one of the first private Swiss management consulting companies. ICME is a founding member of ASCO (Swiss Association of Management Consultants, still active today with 68 company members) and sponsors a foundation for
research in enterprise management.
Expanding ICME
Increasing economic growth following the war
and the slowly changing perspective about consulting companies contributed to the immense growth of ICME and expansion of the company to 32 consultants in the 1960s.
Restructuring ICME
Recession in the following years and the consequences of the oil crisis leads to the rationalization and diminution of ICME and finally to the restructuring of the entire company in 1975. The new strategy is short term oriented and more national. The tight company structure and philosophy provided significant leverage in the following years with ICME recording an average of 43.5% growth in revenue annually.
Focusing ICME
ICME begins to focus on services rather than on industry. New Clients in various industries like telecommunication, banking, energy and utilities and even governments were targeted with success.
