Role & duties of an in-house consulting manager

As an in-house consulting manager, you act as an internal management consultant: You analyze value streams, identify weak points, prioritize optimization initiatives and manage implementation with the specialist departments. Three fields of activity are continuously gaining importance:

  • Strategic process analysis
    You model end-to-end processes, assess their level of maturity, compare benchmarks and identify fields of action. For this purpose, Aeneis provides a central process management platform and clear dashboards with graphics, tables and heat maps, instead of countless Excel sheets.
  • Implementation of improvement strategies
    Process improvement or risk treatment measures can be linked directly to processes, risks and responsible persons, including status, due date and responsibility. As a result, the need for action does not remain abstract, but can be managed concretely.
  • Ensuring efficiency & compliance
    Whether MaRisk, ISO 27001 or NIS‑2, regulatory requirements must be incorporated early on in the design and operation of processes. In Aeneis, you link your documents and standards directly with the relevant processes and thus create a seamless chain of evidence.

Why business process management (BPM) is essential

Without transparent process structures, internal consulting remains reactive. With BPM in Aeneis, it becomes proactive:

  • Holistic transparency: From the high-level process landscape to the detailed BPMN model, you can see at any time how processes are connected, who is responsible and which systems are involved.
  • Data-based decisions: Dashboards clearly show key figures, status and other useful information and help you to derive options for action. Reports and evaluations in Aeneis show how process indicators change after optimization and make it possible to present the results transparently in management reporting.
  • Continuous optimization: Version histories, release workflows and tabular modeling, including AI modeling, significantly shorten adjustment cycles and reduce modeling costs by up to 70%.

Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC): The added value of an integrated solution

Risk and compliance requirements are growing faster than separate tools can be maintained. Aeneis combines BPM and GRC in one data model:

  • Real-time risk & control management
    Risks can be linked to processes, controls and responsible parties. The traffic light logic in the risk matrix shows the need for action at a glance.
  • Digital verification
    The change history is available digitally and audit reports can also be exported directly for supervisory authorities, from MaRisk Self Assessment to ISO Audit.
  • Efficiency through consistency
    Because BPM and GRC teams access the same database, redundant maintenance, inconsistencies and tedious Excel reconciliations are eliminated.

How Aeneis supports in-house consulting managers

As an in-house consulting manager, you are faced with the challenge of quickly and reliably analyzing processes in complex organizations, identifying potential for improvement and seamlessly meeting regulatory requirements. For this purpose, Aeneis offers a variety of practical functions that make your work more efficient and strategically effective.

  • The browser-based modeling with the WebModeller and tabular data entry with SmartModel, you can document processes collaboratively and across locations, without additional software or a long training period.
  • For management reporting and performance monitoring, Aeneis provides powerful dashboards and reports. This allows you to keep an eye on process indicators, risks and action status at all times, presented in a data-driven and decision-ready format.
  • Automated workflows ensure that releases, versioning and acknowledgements are structured, comprehensible and compliant with the rules. This reduces coordination costs and increases the quality of governance in your projects.

Whether process mapping, optimization or governance: Aeneis offers a consistently digital and scalable platform that strategically strengthens your role as an in-house consulting manager.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What distinguishes Aeneis from classic process documentation tools?

Aeneis is much more than just a documentation tool. It connects process modeling, GRC features and analysis tools in a consistently integrated platform with automated workflows, versioning and role-based access.

Can I also map complex corporate structures with Aeneis?

Yes. Thanks to the client and scope model, international, multi-level organizations can also be modeled and evaluated clearly and separately, including consolidated evaluations across all units.

How does Aeneis help me implement MaRisk, ISO 27001 or NIS-2?

With GRC apps in Aeneis (e.g. ICS, ISMS, risk management) you can link regulatory requirements directly with processes, controls and responsible persons. The result is audit-proof, digital evidence that is ready for auditing at any time.

Is Aeneis suitable for non-technical users?

Yes. The intuitive web interface, the model-based structure and the integrated AI HelpBot enable even professional users without an IT background to get started and use Aeneis productively.

How complex is the introduction of Aeneis in my company?

The introduction can be modular and in stages. Many customers start with one department and then scale up across the entire group, supported by best practice templates and our experienced consultants.

“We design our process management from functional documentation to an instrument for overall process control. In doing so, we transform our document management system into a lively, always up-to-date process management system and implement the regulatory requirements in Aeneis in a legally secure and digital manner. A core element of this is, for example, the connection of the policy structure with a customer and value-added oriented process structure. ”

“It is particularly valuable for us that Aeneis optimally supports TRILUX's Simplify philosophy: Our employees have easy access to all relevant processes, which results in significantly improved collaboration.
In addition, we can effectively map all touchpoints with our customers and their dependencies in order to align our processes even better with customer needs. ”

“Before implementing Aeneids, there was no uniform process model in our company. Our goal was to create a central port for all business areas and management systems, supported by a uniform process model. By using Aeneis as BPM and GRC software, we can digitize our processes in a validated environment and integrate them into a central platform. This enables us to consolidate our global business processes and management systems and laid the foundation for merging the process-supporting application structure. ”

In the past, data maintenance was cumbersome and paper-based. With Aeneis, we have significantly reduced effort, simplified complexity and can now fully concentrate on our actual profession again. Aeneis combines all the important functions we need: process descriptions, risk management, audits, error reporting systems, and much more. The big advantage is that we can adapt it exactly to our structures and needs, which is often not possible with other solutions.

“Until 12 years ago, we had not documented any processes, just a few work instructions and a few organizational guidelines. Then we got to know Aeneis through an external consultant. With Aeneis as BPM software, we have now mapped our key business processes and organizational structure and integrated everything into a central quality management system down to employee level. This is fully accessible to all our employees and integrated into our existing intranet. The GoToMarket process, which is very important to us, forms the core of documenting our process organization and the organizational chart, which is very conveniently structured in Aeneis, provides guidance about our organizational structure. ”

“We didn't have any process documentation before, just a few instructions and forms. But then, as part of further training, we got to know another company that had already successfully used the system. With Aeneis as BPM and GRC software, we have now documented our processes and integrated them together with our documents, instructions and forms into a central management system. This led to improved knowledge of processes and cooperation and thus to fewer frictional losses and extra work. ”
