Competencies

 

Strategy Deployment (Hoshin Kanri)

A strategy is useless without a focused implementation. We support our customers intensively in strategy implementation throughout planning, goal derivation and goal coordination between organizational areas, as well as subsequent implementation. We specifically design the approach to the needs of our clients according to the Hoshin Kanri or Policy Deployment approach. To this end, we accompany our clients through the strategy derivation process, strategy meetings, the goal coordination process, the definition and implementation of measures, and the ongoing evaluation and adjustment of the work of a living strategy. We also quickly revitalize stalled strategy projects and seamlessly integrate tools such as Objectives & Key Results (OKR), Balanced Scorecard and approaches such as Value Stream Management into the approach.

Operational Efficiency and Solutions

We solve problems and design operational solutions and efficient structures with your teams. From reducing costs, optimizing quality, aligning the company with customer requirements to making existing structures more flexible and optimizing them, we work with your teams to develop sustainable solutions. Our consultants work systematically from the analysis of potentials to the implementation and acceptance up to the stabilization of results. In most cases, we achieve initial results within a short period of time and overcome even critical challenges together with the people in your organization. We apply our experience in optimizing structures in the following operational areas: product development (product development including launches, complex equipment and systems, service development, software), service, production, order processing, sales and marketing (including eCommerce), service and supporting processes.
