Shaping the sports business
CSIGHT is your independent, strategic consultant in the sports and entertainment business.
For us, consulting means working together to create individual solutions that ensure the economically sustainable success of your project.
To achieve this project success with you, we concentrate entirely on our core competencies and focus on projects in which we have extensive experience and in-depth specialist knowledge.
Our consulting approach
Real insights
We are convinced that the sports and entertainment business is unlike any other industry. Understanding its special features and challenges requires real industry insights. We have been actively shaping this industry for more than 20 years - not only as strategic consultants, but also with many years of operational senior management responsibility.
Clear focus
We focus on genuine strategy projects. For us, these are projects that are of long-term and groundbreaking significance for our clients and that are usually particularly rare or even unique for those responsible. It is precisely these projects that are often severely delayed, exorbitantly expensive or neglected, due to the demands of day-to-day business, limited resources or a lack of experience, leading to costly mistakes. It is these "once in a lifetime" strategy projects that we have made our primary focus, guiding them to sustainable success "on time" and "on budget".
Changing perspective
We know the industry intimately, not only from the perspective of external consultants, but also from the perspective of responsible senior management. We bring the experience and expertise we have acquired over the years, across a wide range of national and international strategy projects, to the consulting process, for the benefit of our clients - clubs, leagues and associations, as well as cities, municipalities, investors and brands.
Full commitment
As an owner-managed boutique consultancy, we allocate a dedicated senior management resource to each of our projects. This means that an experienced consultant, with extensive references and proven management expertise in comparable projects, is at your side for the entire duration of the project. This is our commitment to the success of your project.
