How should your company develop over the next five years, what should your product portfolio and footprint look like? Our experts discuss fundamental strategic issues with owners, managing directors or supervisory board members.

Major geopolitical, social, environmental and technological changes and the associated volatility of the markets are leading to increasing instability in existing business models. This presents companies in all industries and regardless of their current market position with the need to fundamentally rethink their business models and initiate urgently needed transformations.

Numerous studies and prominent examples from recent years indicate that 70 to 80 percent of these transformations fail or fall well short of their associated goals due to these are the main factors:

1. incorrect assessment of market and competitive dynamics,
2. deficiencies in the assessment of existing and future required core competencies and
3. a variety of leadership, communication and implementation problems in the transformation process because traditional approaches are no longer effective.
