Together with you, we question the status quo and develop innovative solutions for sustainable business success.
To be permanently successful in increasingly complex and uncertain environments, companies need so-called dynamic capabilities to continuously adapt their competitive position. These are established through the systematic analysis of existing organizational capabilities and the subsequent development and implementation of appropriate change measures at organizational levers.
Especially for established companies, it has become increasingly challenging to prevail against new, dynamic competitors with traditional innovation approaches. The key to success lies in developing, testing and implementing innovations as efficiently as possible. These should be as close to the core business as possible (in order to leverage the company's traction) and at the same time as disruptive as necessary (in order to meet new customer needs).
Crises and other major, unpredictable environmental changes are occurring more frequently and increasingly overlapping. Companies must develop resilience in order to not only survive environmental changes, but, at best, even exploit them to improve their competitive position.
The majority of companies are now conscientiously working on positioning themselves for an increasingly digital world. At the same time, only 24% of all (digital) transformations are successful. New systematic approaches are needed to develop a clear, focused digital strategy so that the transformation can be successfully implemented!
The days of top-down strategic planning are over. Paradoxically, a contemporary strategy must be developed in an agile and systematic manner at the same time. The combination of a top-down and a bottom-up approach and the introduction of suitable methods and tools enables companies to continuously identify, validate and implement new (market) opportunities in a systematic way.
Companies are increasingly interested in combining the monetary aspects of their actions with ecological and social aspects. This not only has a positive effect on the planet, but also ensures the sustainable success of the company. A systematic process is needed to develop innovative solutions to position companies for a successful, greener and more social future.
In order to cope with the increasing speed and complexity of the environment, decisions in the company must be made agilely. More and more companies are already relying on agile processes and projects today. But that is not enough. In order to act truly agile, there must also be agile control for the strategic and operational decisions of the company.
Traditional departments such as product development and R&D often do not deliver the right solutions for the needs of the new world with digital business models and customer-centric offerings. The high expectations of separate innovation units to compensate for this could not be met in practice. Often, however, minor changes in organizational design and procedural approaches are sufficient to achieve strategically relevant new business with these instruments.
Employees are one of the key success factors for companies in the 21st century. But not only qualification, but especially satisfaction has a significant impact on the company's success - because satisfied employees are 31% more productive, 30% more creative and 37% more successful. The systematic development of contemporary ways of working makes it possible to generate lasting competitive advantages.
We support established companies in achieving their ambitious business goals - in more than 130 projects already.
In our work, we combine many years of practical experience with the latest findings from our academic teaching and research, including at the SGMI Management Institute St. Gallen and the HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management.
We look forward to talking to you.
