CO Improve launches improvement programme for
shorter time-to-market and stronger global collaboration

CO Improve will implement an improvement programme at this leading technology company to shorten time-to-market and improve global and interdisciplinary collaboration in product development.

Various hypotheses about the levers have already been discussed:

  • Reduction in the number of projects running in parallel (Work-In-Progress-Limit)
  • Consistent pre-development
  • Optimised requirements management
  • Improving the product development process
  • Increasing project management expertise
  • Introducing agile working methods
  • Closing gaps in expertise and capacity in the specialist areas involved
  • ...

The S-DAX company deliberately opted for the holistic approach of CO Improve in order to actually capture all cause-and-effect relationships and not simply carry out process optimisation:

  • Assessment of all necessary skills according to CO Improve's own maturity and skill level model in 45 areas
  • Holistic approach across the competence areas of strategy, processes, project management and organisational structure
  • Cost benchmarking
  • Definition of a suitable improvement programme with several initiatives
  • Coordinated implementation planning with all stakeholders
  • Definition of key figures for target achievement
  • Accompanying change management

We are looking forward to the start and will publish a project report on the homepage once the project has been completed.
