Businesses currently face a variety of challenges:

  • Cost increases in critical areas such as materials, energy, and labor costs,
  • Demographic changes leading to a shortage of skilled workers,
  • Requirements for process sustainability,
  • Increasing shift from mechanical to electro-mechanical, smart applications,
  • Growing governmental bureaucracy with lengthy approval times,

Where should the journey lead?

Together with you, we determine an appropriate strategy for your company or specific parts thereof, such as a plant or location. Initially, we conduct a situational analysis to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your company, including resources, capabilities, processes, as well as market conditions, competition, industry trends, opportunities, and risks.

Building on this foundation, we collaboratively establish objectives in workshops, ensuring they are clear, measurable, and aligned with the company's mission and vision. These goals encompass both, short-term and long-term horizons.

Based on these preliminary investigations, we identify key areas where competitive advantages can be achieved, and select a general strategic direction—such as cost leadership, differentiated products, niche markets, etc. The creative process then involves developing various strategy options rooted in the earlier conducted analyses. This includes evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each option, considering financial impacts, risks, and resource requirements. The process culminates in selecting the optimal strategy solution that aligns with the company's objectives and the analyzed situation, comprising both, short-term and long-term perspectives.

Implementation planning involves crafting a detailed action plan, describing how the strategy will be executed, specifying responsibilities, resource needs, timelines, and milestones.

We support the company in effectively communicating the strategy to internal stakeholders, including employees and executives, and assist in both, implementation and monitoring. Our assistance during implementation follows the company's capabilities and resources, ensuring alignment with the established steps and continuous monitoring of progress.
