Rapid technological developments, such as in the field of artificial intelligence and increasing digitalisation, present companies with strategic decisions that have a direct impact on profitability and efficiency.

Typical challenges include

Low value contribution in the use of technology and a lack of efficiency: outdated or inefficient operating models and architectures inhibit performance and make it difficult to integrate new technologies.

Unclear technology strategies and innovation capability: A lack of transparency regarding the value contribution of technology and digitalisation initiatives as well as the difficulty of identifying technological trends at an early stage and harnessing them for the business model.
Insufficient utilisation of technology potential: The challenge of realising the full economic potential of technology investments and clearly identifying the financial impact. Realising the value of new technologies such as AI and automation
Realisation of value contributions new technologies such as AI and automation: The use of AI and automation is fundamentally changing business processes. Companies are faced with the task of integrating these technologies in a meaningful way in order to increase efficiency and value creation without overburdening existing structures.
Rising IT costs across the entire organisation: Increasing IT expenditure and the pressure to implement sustainable solutions require continuous optimisation of IT processes and investments. Companies must master the balancing act between cost efficiency, innovation and company-wide value contribution.
Complexity in the implementation of large-scale projects: Comprehensive business IT transformations are often associated with risks such as budget overruns, time delays and failure to achieve objectives.

Our solution

In the "Tech Performance" consulting field, we focus on sustainably increasing technological value creation and efficiency. Our approach combines strategic foresight with operational implementation expertise. The focus is not just on optimising the IT organisation, but rather we see technology as a tool for optimising the overall performance of companies end-to-end. IT and digitalisation are not viewed as isolated silos vis-à-vis the specialist departments, but rather as integrated, business-oriented functions that are optimised across departments. To achieve this goal of end-to-end optimisation, our tech performance experts work together with our other consulting fields of Growth & Sales Performance, Operational & Organisational Performance and Finance Performance as required.

Our solution in the area of Tech Performance comprises four central fields of action, which can be understood as modular, but are interlinked and enable holistic optimisation:

Business Tech Strategy & Innovation
We support companies in the development and implementation of sector-specific, value-driven business technology and digital strategies. In the area of strategy, the focus is on analysing and designing these strategies, defining the purpose, value contribution and role of technology both for the IT area and for overall operational value creation. In the area of innovation, technology trends are analysed using the tech radar and implications for managers (CXO) are derived from this in order to identify future technological developments at an early stage and make targeted use of them.

Benefit:
- Development and realisation of digital and technology strategies
- Optimal utilisation of technological resources to promote business growth and increase efficiency
- Carrying out tech radar analyses to strengthen innovation capability and derive CXO-relevant implications
Business Tech Operating Model & Architecture
We offer a comprehensive diagnosis of the current operating model and develop design principles for a future-orientated target image based on this. The holistic design covers all seven dimensions of the target operating model and the target architecture. Specific interventions and a detailed transformation roadmap ensure the seamless integration and optimisation of business and technology processes. This modernises outdated structures, increases efficiency and improves technological integration.

Benefit:
- 360° diagnosis of the current situation
- Development of a clear target image
- Detailed roadmap and targeted interventions to optimise business and technology processes
- Sustainable increase in efficiency and performance
Business Tech Value & Performance
This solution module focuses on maximising EBIT potential through the targeted use of top technologies and use cases that are individually tailored to each sector or company. The required investments are analysed in detail and a transformation roadmap is derived. The operating model is analysed and necessary adjustments are identified in order to increase technological efficiency and performance. A central component is the development of "Tech Saving Strategies", which also include the creation and calculation of a business case for IT and digitalisation initiatives in order to optimise the financial benefits and strategic direction of technology investments.

Benefit:
- Detailed analysis of the EBIT potential
- Clear value & performance strategy to sustainably increase efficiency and effectiveness
- Business case validated technology investment
Transformation & value assurance of complex large-scale projects
We support companies in the planning, management and implementation of extensive business technology transformations. To this end, we set up a "Smart PMO" (Project Management Office), which is responsible for monitoring and managing the overall programme. The value assurance function ensures that ongoing programmes deliver the expected value and are implemented efficiently. Risks such as budget overruns, delays and deviations from targets are minimised through continuous monitoring and structured management.

Benefit:
- Structured implementation of large and complex transformation programmes
- Continuous control of key programme parameters to minimise risks and ensure adherence to schedules and budgets
- "Value assurance" to check the realisation of planned value contributions
- Minimising risks and ensuring adherence to schedules and budgets
