Scape Academy Results 2024

Now that the last training session has been completed, let us take a quick look back: 2024 was by far the most successful year in the history of our Academy. The number of training sessions delivered increased by 63% and the number of participants by 69%. This was due to the successful launch of our EA Essentials course, but also to a growing demand for Business Architecture classes, especially in-house. Thanks to all our participants, trainers and the hard working admin team for making this happen! You can look forward to an even better service in 2025.

Moving to the City

We are coming to the city! After 12 years at the riverside, we have now moved to Garden Tower in the middle of the bustling Frankfurt CBD. This distinctive location offers us a great wealth of opportunities for business and after-work activities alike. Beyond that, it provides us with much more flexible and scalable office spaces and a fantastic winter garden. A perfect match and a great foundation for the next stage of our development journey!

Financial Statement

Our annual financial statement for 2023 has just been released. A good opportunity to look back and also provide some outlook for 2024.

The year 2023 started somewhat turbulent, but from a financial perspective, it became the most successful in our history: revenues grew by 48% and the EBIT by 86% (compared to the even solid 2022 results).  This was mainly due to a continued growth of our consulting team, but also a very strong development of our academy business.

In 2024, we are making the necessary investments to ensure a sustainable development in the future. In particular, we are extending our service offering and expanding our marketing capabilities to drive further growth in the business transformation space.

Scape Knowledge Café

With the Knowledge Café, we recently launched a new format for internal skill development and knowledge transfer. The Knowledge Café provides an open space where team members can discuss current topics and find answers to their questions outside the project context.

Yesterday, we covered AI and made an excursion to the nearby TechQuartier hosting the EDITH Innovation Day. We arrived just in time for a great keynote given by @Prof. Peter Buxmann on "Generative Artificial Intelligence - Breakthroughs | Applications | Profitability". His presentation and the following discussions provided us with a lot of new insights and inspiration for our own AI journey. Thanks to Peter and the EDITH / TechQuartier team for making this happen.
