Your Projects
Business processes are core competence and hallmark of a company. Lean processes, cooperation across divisions and well-motivated staff will allow the full creative potential to unfold. Maintaining and promoting business processes requires recurring projects to ensure continuous improvement and adaptation to ever changing requirements. We help you focus your energy on customers – because we know what we are talking about. And because we listen.
COOPERATION
A “silo mentality” is a hindrance for profit or modernisation. You want well-coordinated, interdisciplinary cooperation.
CREATIVITY
You want to create more room for innovation in your processes: agile, adaptive procedures, out-of-the-box thinking and a fresh breeze in modern structures.
FLEXIBILITY
The processes have become more and more rigid and slow. It is becoming increasingly difficult to respond adequately to rapidly changing requirements.
EFFECTIVENESS
You want better performance and quality and a clear focus on customer requirements.

For the small site they created a slimline PM concept with compact guide and a project cockpit which was successfully adopted into the regular routine operations. We could thus reduce losses through friction in project work and further enhance quality. It shifted the perception of PM to acceptance locally and beyond.
The self-organising teams that were created led to enhanced transparency in the team. This enabled staff to better prioritise projects and tasks and to work more creatively within the security of the set parameters.
New perception of time in projects
Looking at how work was organized by past generations in an industrial context, employees or workers often worked in the same company for a lifetime, working hours were strictly regulated and followed the rhythm of the time clock, which had to be operated when entering and leaving the company. Working hours were interrupted by breaks, …
