Od Partner, Budapest

Beginning (1995-96) A handful of young teachers at the Department of Management and Organisation of the Budapest University of Economics and some of the fresh graduates founded OD Partner Kft. with the inspiration, support and participation of Gertjan Nooij, a visiting professor at the department. The initial team had 11 members. Steps towards business operations (1996-98) The first full-time colleague was Ági Tóth as head of office. She was followed by full-time consultants and a regular office life came to being. Initially, our work was based on a few large projects. By the end of the year 1998 eleven people, mainly the initial team, were actively involved in the company''s activities. Growth (1998-2000) Other experienced consultants joined the team and spatial reasons forced the company to move to the current office on Gellért Hill. The firm was engaged in several large projects simultaneously and managed to win new clients as well as retaining the first ones.
