our Network

The OfW-Group

Experience meets innovation. The OFW group (registered group) consisting of the board of trustees supervising and advising both, the Organisationsforum Wirtschaftskongress gGmbH and OSCAR GmbH. Due to the inherent short lived nature of OFW employees the board of trustees brings the necessary constancy to oversee and plan long-term developments.

In addition, the OFW group also supervises the OSCAR GmbH, which is a management consultancy with a start-up character. 1992 OSCAR was founded as a subsidiary of the OFW.

Moreover:
OFW & OSCAR ALUMNI CLUB (OOAC)
– The “Organisationsforum Wirtschaftskongress” (OfW) was founded in 1984 to build a bridge between academic theory and business practice. Since then, an annually changing team of Cologne students has organized an international business conference as its main product here in Cologne. After their time at the World Business Dialogue Team, many of our Alumni became very successful and joined the OOAC. 
– 600+ alumni in 24 Generations
