Safely into the future with strategy

A strong strategy is the compass that guides companies safely through stormy times. It provides orientation, identifies opportunities and paves the way for growth. Those who set clear goals and act decisively will steer confidently into a successful future!

Strategy without implementation is just opinion

Strategic leadership requires structure, focus and a clear path

In times of technological change, volatile markets and increasing complexity, it is no longer enough to ‘know the course’. The decisive factor is whether it can also be controlled. Many companies today face the challenge of consistently aligning their strategy with product development – while remaining flexible at the same time.

This is particularly evident in technical organisations: without a clear strategic direction, good ideas fizzle out, projects get lost, and decisions never make it off the drawing board. The result: resources are wasted, frustration grows – even though there is actually a lot of potential.

Strategy work begins with the right questions

We think strategy in terms of implementation – not from the lighthouse

We do not view strategy as a theoretical ideal, but rather as a concrete basis for action: for development, projects, prioritisation and leadership. In doing so, we focus not only on the what, but above all on the how: How are decisions made? How do goals become tangible? And how can strategy be effectively anchored in the company?

Many of our clients know exactly where they want to go – but in their day-to-day work, they have little room to drive implementation forward with clarity and energy. We help to structure strategy in such a way that it provides orientation, creates scope and can consistently unfold its effect.

Our strategy building addresses various levels

We work with you to develop the appropriate content and coordinate it with each other.


Corporate strategy

Defines the business areas in which the company intends to operate in the future. It sets the overall direction based on the vision, mission and long-term goals.

Business area strategies

Describe how the company intends to successfully compete in the defined business areas (product-market combination) – e.g. through technological leadership, cost leadership or differentiation.

Product strategies

Define which products or product lines should be used to develop a business area. They define, among other things product lines, performance promises, price positioning, modularity and innovation paths.

Market strategies

Describe which target customers are being addressed, how market segments are being cultivated and with which value proposition the company intends to be successful there.

Functional strategies

Define how individual functions – e.g. development, purchasing, production or sales – contribute to the implementation of corporate and business area strategies.
