Rapidly improve earnings by consistently and sustainably improving business performance
Our holistic approach: Pragmatic, measurable, sustainable.
We are your partner for the analysis, concept, and implementation of complex transformation programs. Our holistic project approach ensures both rapid and sustained improvements in results that are reflected in the income statement. We always ensure that your consulting costs are quickly amortized, providing an attractive return on consulting.
We analyze your initial situation, identify potential levers, work with you to develop implementation concepts, and implement them together with you. In order to maximize customer value, we typically work cross-functionally on our projects – in other words, we form consulting teams with consultants from different professional backgrounds who identify areas of potential from the bottom up as part of our projects.
Proven and tailor-made: Performance improvement by Staufen
Our approach is about more than benchmarking. It is about taking a concrete look at your company and developing concepts that can be put into practice and lead to sustainable improvements. By closely involving our customer teams in the analysis phase, and always developing concepts together, we achieve a high level of acceptance at all levels. This is a key success factor in transformation projects.
The Performance Improvement team is the hub around which the various work streams are organized, translating the measures identified bottom up into an integrated program, including professional project management. This makes us the ideal bridge between the operational implementation teams and our customers’ top management.
