Strategy
In order to survive in a dynamic competitive environment, you need to systematically address the foundations for the long-term economic success of your company. This concerns both the corporate level and your business model as well as the value chain or supply chain as a derivative strategy. In addition to the operative coordination of ongoing business activities, i.e. the processing of orders and projects, strategic management is the second central management task.
Digital transformation in particular is opening up a new playing field with almost unlimited possibilities. Ultimately, however, only relatively few strategic elements or “enablers” will give you genuine and sustainable competitive advantages. It will be crucial for you to set the right priorities and make the best possible use of your limited financial and human resources.
“The strategy is an economy of forces.”Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz

Strategy, the plan for the future
The SCM strategy involves identifying the trends relevant to you, realistically assessing the strengths and weaknesses of your company in the industry environment and working out the value contribution of supply chain management. On this basis, we work with you to define the relevant fields of action for operational implementation and develop a roadmap for the long-term further development of your supply chain management, e.g. modern organizational and process structures, new methods and supporting IT systems.
Together, we find answers to key strategic questions along the value chain, for example:
- What factors influence our business success in the long term?
- Does our business model have to change in order to ensure profitable growth in the future? How can digitalization contribute to this?
- What strategic risks do we see for our supply chain and how can we counter them?
- What will the future supply chain design look like?
- How can we build new strategic competitive advantages across the value chain or the supply chain?
- How can we manage growth and increasing complexity?
- …
A change in strategy is often the starting point for a business transformation. We see this as a structural change to your value chain. To achieve this, we operationalize the strategic requirements, define specific areas of action and place these on a timeline in the form of a long-term strategy roadmap.
This roadmap contains those elements that will bring your company the greatest benefit in the future. By working out quick wins, success can be achieved within a short period of time. Ultimately, the corporate strategy is a living and flexible tool. It is constantly evolving and should be regularly reviewed and adapted if necessary.
