Performance Transformation

Sustained growth and a sustainable, profitable increase in performance require a continuous review of one's own operating model. 65 per cent of CEOs are of the opinion that success and growth also depend on questioning and breaking through established business models and familiar market mechanisms, according to the KPMG CEO Outlook.

Agile action is crucial for this: if you don't act fast enough, you lose.

Preparing for the new normality - but the right way

This is a particular challenge at the moment. In addition to previous influences such as digitalisation, innovation and cost/margin pressure, there are now also the effects of the "new reality".

This constellation requires a transformation of your performance. A crisis-proof foundation of cost-optimised structures and efficient operational processes is essential. This leaves financial room for manoeuvre for necessary investments even in emerging crises.

A holistic analysis of the organisation

With our performance transformation programme, you create an ideal combination of cost & cash optimisation and growth. To achieve this, we take a holistic view of the company with regard to the following three steps:

Managing the initial situation

Goal: Identify and realise potential cost savings

Benchmarking and potential evaluation as part of a "rapid assessment" show the potential top-down and provide bottom-up specific measures for realisation.
Shaping the future

Objective: Definition of a new target image for the "new normal" for the business and operating model

The future target picture is broken down into specific individual measures relating to organisation, processes, digitalisation and personnel.
Becoming fit for the future

Goal: Implementation of the defined target image and realisation of the identified cost savings and growth potentials

Efficient implementation management ensures fast and effective realisation of measures.
