Every industry has its own
challenges -
we are ready for them!

"WITTE has worked intensively with CO Improve in recent years. The focus has been on the introduction of product change management in development and series production, the improvement of component industrialization and the strategic alignment of product management. In particular, the new change management system with mapping in JIRA workflows has significantly improved transparency and decision-making quality. In addition to the technical expertise, the professional change management, which ensures sustainable implementation, deserves special mention. The CO Improve consultants know how to win people over at all levels and accompany them through the change process."

"CO Improve has supported us for over two years in challenging product development projects and process improvements - with an impressively holistic approach. Whether as agile coaches, project managers, technical experts or moderators of strategic formats: The team has combined specialist knowledge, methodological expertise and genuine change skills. We particularly appreciate the combination of a deep understanding of product development, organization and processes - and the ability to take people with them. The sustainability of the solutions far beyond the completion of the project is a top priority."

"Together with CO Improve, we have reorganized our product development activities. In doing so, we turned over almost every stone and rethought strategy, processes and organization. From analysis to implementation, we have always received pragmatic, competent support at all hierarchical levels and established systems that we will use to continuously improve."

"We successfully launched our change initiative KPDO (KION Product Development Optimization) together with CO Improve - with very professional & holistic support and a lot of empathy. Stakeholders were involved right from the start, optimizations were developed conceptually and later implemented consistently and successfully. Key success factors: the target-oriented deployment of CO Improve experts from a wide range of specialist areas and their strength in communicating with all levels at eye level - be it with our board members or managing directors as well as with employees from a wide range of specialist areas. The new approaches that have emerged will help us to sustainably increase our efficiency and effectiveness in all areas of product development."

"Together with CO Improve, we carried out a maturity assessment of our product development processes and organization. The analysis covered our strategy, process landscape and organizational structure and was supplemented by valuable benchmark comparisons. Together with CO Improve, we used the results to derive targeted improvement initiatives and develop a detailed implementation plan, which was drawn up in close consultation with all those involved. During implementation, CO Improve provided us with practical, pragmatic and efficient support as required. Through this collaboration, we have taken a decisive step towards strengthening the future viability of our company."

"CO Improve has supported us over several years in the further development of our engineering organization. Together, we have defined and successfully implemented new organizational areas, introduced new roles and implemented process improvements. CO Improve's holistic expertise in the areas of strategy definition, process optimization and organizational development, coupled with 30 years of consulting experience, provided us with significant support. We would like to thank them for their professional support and the sustainable results that we were able to achieve together. CO Improve is a trusted advisor for me."

"Together with the CO Improve consultants, we have adapted our product development process to the changing requirements and global structures. We succeeded in combining the current process with best practice from the various locations, while retaining its strengths, and developing it further with CO Improve's industry and technical expertise. As a result, we are improving cross-divisional collaboration, streamlining processes and strengthening the autonomy of the teams. CO Improve's implementation expertise helps us to implement the results sustainably at our various locations worldwide."

"With the help of CO Improve, we have succeeded in transferring all new product development projects to an agile way of working and taking the stakeholders with us. We have increased autonomy in the teams and focused managers' attention more strongly on employee and organizational development. This has allowed us to set in motion a movement and a dynamic that has enabled us to increase our adaptability to customers and markets and will continue to do so."

"Thanks to the great commitment of CO Improve, we now have a reliable and future-proof project structure that has considerably facilitated and improved collaboration in our company. Above all, the consistent focus on practicable and rapid implementation was very helpful."

"The real advantage for the stakeholders with Scrum is that they are so close to the process through the reviews that they can intervene at an early stage - in a traditional steering committee, problems arrive far too late."

"Delayed deadlines, cumbersome coordination, a lack of project overview and increasing management pressure - these are the challenges faced by many technical companies. An agile way of working offers a systematic approach to exposing and overcoming these problems with amazingly simple basic rules. CO Improve supports us with a very high level of methodological expertise in the introduction of agile management methods. In addition, the consultant has a very keen sense of the success factors of interpersonal interaction and demonstrates a good eye for resolving problematic situations in practice."

"With the support of CO Improve, we successfully developed and implemented our product development process. CO Improve not only provided our team with expert advice on the application and conformity of the process, but also accompanied the entire pilot with agile methods such as Scrum. Special focus was placed on involving the employees so that the new process was not only installed, but also lived.

The practice-oriented approach is particularly noteworthy: From testing the process and creating the necessary documentation to adapting and optimizing process instructions, CO Improve impressed with an impressive blend of expertise, precision and foresight. This collaboration has enabled us to sustainably improve our process and put it on a future-proof footing."
